It is well known that bullying is a big problem in Korea. Hence so many shows that come out of the country surrounding this topic. However, having a HS dramedy that was wholesome and just about kids enjoying a normal teen experience was a win within itself.

This movie had a premise that’s been done many times before. The FL has a huge crush on the school’s hottest guy and does whatever she can to make herself worthy of him, in this case straightening her hair. But in comes the ML whom she befriends but is oblivious to what he can offer. Everything she’d want in a boyfriend including loving her just as she is. Eventually she gets it and she and the ML develop a romance. They do face an unforeseen obstacle that does tear them apart but in the end they reunite.

Again, this was refreshing because there were no bullies and no interlopers who thought the leads should be involved with them instead of each other. Plus the FL actually had friends!! Genuine friends, which was awesome.! The leads had nice chemistry and the supporting characters were fun and fit within the story. This was a cute movie. Definitely worth watching.
