I think they will address the phone call issue in next episode. But I am 100% sure it would again be a misunderstanding!

And about the kiss, imo it felt more like Minjun's dream because he hasn't moved on from the situation.

Great read Kat! Will save it for the day when I am in mood for non romance drama 😅

8.0/10

This was honestly a visual serve. The genz vibe, the cinematography, the production - all of it looked amazing. From the first episode, you could tell it had style and knew exactly what it was doing when it came to aesthetics.

But once we got past the pretty packaging, the actual heart of the drama kind of fell flat. The main characters were clearly supposed to capture the chaos and confusion of being a teenager and while that was relatable with realism, watching them spiral again and again without learning anything got lowkey frustrating. Yes, teenagers make mistakes but these guys just kept doing the same things even when they knew better. It started feeling less like drama and more like emotional déjà vu.

The messiness was definitely part of the appeal at first, like wow, these kids were really out here self-destructing in real time but after a while, it was more exhausting. There was no real growth, so the characters stopped making any progress and just started looping.

The finale tried to wrap things up and give us a little closure, but it kind of rushed through the emotions that actually needed time to land. It was like they wanted to tie it all up with a neat little bow, but forgot to finish the actual story underneath.

Overall, I understand the appeal of the show with its coming of age theme and cute aesthetics but for me, it ended up feeling like more of a visual feast that ultimately did not have much to say.

P.S. - I really tried to like this more, but couldn't! *Sigh*

We have the same rating *hi-five*

And I agree with this being a hard watch ! But I think it's so well done.

I am happy that you liked this !

Hope you enjoy whenever you watch it! ❤️

I feel the non con was less comparatively. Like we know FL likes him , just that initially "no" was a problem.

And spicy... Hmmm...You get proper kisses and few bed scenes here and there which I haven't seen less in jdrama 😅

It is being fansubbed. If you scroll down, you will find the comment from nazhongmin

Thank you so much so subbing this ♥️

I also very confused as to what to rate. It's 9 in my heart but somehow it's not there.

The drama is heart wrenching at time. And it made me cry. Ugly cry.

But there are few factors which could have been better and I rightly agree about the love life of children. I felt too much time was spent on it instead of importance addressing issues , mainly favouritism.

I am going they address in vol3 but that didn't happens and it sort of disappointed me. But it's a very very good drama overall.

Thank you for reading the review ♥️

I have this an 8.5 because somehow I enjoyed the last 2 arcs. Force book I don't remember because it was way back 🤣 watching show from 6 months xD

Gun and Yotha was what I came for , but Faifa and Junior stole the show for me too.

I did find the last ep a bit too chaotic though 😅

7.5/10

Light, fluffy and undercooked. A recipe for mild entertainment!

The drama started off with a fun, chaotic energy that blended "city girl to village life" vibes in an entertaining way. However, that initial charm quickly fizzled out and the middle episodes turned into a snoozefest. The pacing became uneven and there was little to no character development.

It’s the kind of show you can keep up with casually while it’s airing, fun in moments but not exactly gripping. The vibes are there and there’s some charm in the chaos, but it definitely struggles with pacing and feels like it’s just throwing tropes at the wall to see what sticks.

So on second try I got Sang Woo and Jae Young! 😁 This is one of my favourite enemies to lovers trope ! Yayyy!

Thank you for reading my review Ma'am ♥️

That's a lovely way to again sum up this show! :))

but the romance and chemistry between the leads was too good not to root for. >>>>> This sounds like something I would like. 😁🤝

I hope I pick it up soon.

Good review Kat! ♥️

The ending scene was really heart-wrenching. Im sorry you had to experience that 🫂

As for me, my favorite arc was volume 2. It struck the perfect balance between the past and the present. You see Ae sun and Gwan Sik struggling and doing their best, then there's this contrast with their children.

This is such a good and apt review without spoilers and still with almost all details I need to decide if someone wants to watch this :))

I gave the same rating but in my heart it's close to 9 but not exactly 9 😂

Definitely one of the drama for a good cry !

Honestly about the FL , I absolutely felt the same. WDH's character was an ass but we get to see a progress both +ve and -ive but with FL's character she was confused and indecisive from start and stayed that away.

But overall I did enjoy it. Also liked how the title made sense to the whole drama :))

A very nice review Kate ! ♥️

General Thoughts till episode 4 :

✅ The chemistry is absolutely chemistry-ing! I really enjoyed their silly banter. We have our tsundere black cat MC and the golden retriever ML! I think for me, this is the strongest point of the drama so far!

✅ This adaptation so far is quite close to the anime. While I didn’t dislike the anime, there were a few elements that didn’t sit well with me. After watching episode 4, I am being cautiously optimistic that they don't pick those. 🤡

⚠️ Now while Jin's character is playful and goofy, he isn't without flaws if I remove the romantic context! The guy has serious boundary issues, like seriously, it’s almost comical. 😂 In real life, I’d probably call him out, but in the context of the drama here, we can clearly see he is coming from a good place and genuinely cares about Akin. Still, I’m really hoping they dial it down a bit in future episodes because there are moments where his behavior is straight-up creepy in the real world, no sugar-coating it. 😂

Episode 4 definitely improved on this front, though, since we see Akin starting to come around, but still…

⚠️ The pace feels a bit fast to me because few things are happening off-camera. It's very similar to the original, though, so it doesn’t bother me too much. But sometimes, I just want to scream at Jin and Akin to calm down and talk things through! 😂

❌ I feel like I've committed a crime by watching this while it's still airing because the wait is pure torture.

But to be very honest, despite all the VISIBLE FLAWS which I can clearly spot from miles away without a neon sign 🤣, I am absolutely hooked and sat!

✅ - Yes
⚠️ - Not 100% on board
❌ - No. Nope. Nada

Hmmm Top form has mixed feelings for me. Like I know the plot is nothing new or profound , but the chemistry is really fire. REALLY FIRE. 🔥🔥

But I would really suggest to wait for few more episodes to air, because the wait for each ep is killing me 🙈

This is such a good and professional review 😭😭 inspired by me .. lol ...it's better than mine 😁

I am glad you enjoyed the drama! It was one of those imperfect watches that landed right on spot ! 🫶🏻
