Cute but Underwhelming: A Slow Story That Missed Its Potential
The series was cute, but honestly more annoying than enjoyable at times. Most of the side-couple scenes felt unnecessary, and I often found myself skipping through them. I really wish the story had focused on Heesu, because there was barely any depth or real backstory for a character who seemed central. The plot stayed very surface-level, which made it hard to feel emotionally invested.
It was painfully slow. With 10 episodes, most of the interesting moments only came in the last 10 minutes of the series. It felt like the story was trying to go somewhere meaningful and could have become a really good show, but they missed the mark badly. So much had to be explained instead of naturally shown, and we didn’t get the deep dive into emotions and experiences that the story could have delivered.
Overall, it’s the kind of show you put on just to watch casually. It felt underwhelming, especially compared to the expectations it set. I was hoping for that high-school crush excitement, but that emotional payoff just wasn’t there. The romance came and went too quickly, without enough buildup to make it satisfying.
It also felt like BL was used mainly as a selling point, while the story’s focus leaned more toward the straight couple. That made it a bit misleading in terms of what it promised versus what it delivered.
There were some cute moments, and the actors did okay, but it lacked depth and emotional impact. I’d give it a 5.5/10 fine for casual viewing, but don’t expect to be wowed.
