One of the best high school dramas

Things I adored

1 The friendship between the three main characters. So heartwarming and natural, it felt like it was real.

2 The ML. Such a great and developed character and also the actor did a great job. He was funny and deep and reminded me of the years we all had to deal with family and friends and goals and we struggled until things became clear, well clear-ish. I will definitely check his other dramas.

3 The 2ML. What a natural and great actor. Both ML are handsome in such a natural way you want to hug them and you wish for them to be happy. His character was also well done and I will check his other dramas.

4 The last episode. I loved the old self-new self discussions. It was sad, moving and so real. I cried a lot and my heart still aches when I think about it. It reminded of my life of what we were and what we become and that there's no way to script your life. You have to accept that you may not have a choice, that you'll lose people, that you'll lose and find your way several times. So many things resurfaced when I watched this episode.

Things I loved

1 The parents. They were so believable it made me sad, happy, like they were my parents and I were an adolescent trying to make sense of family and life.

Things I liked

1 The FL. At first I loved her, but in the end it felt like she had great chemistry with both ML as a friend, but I didn't feel the chemistry as strong when it came to her relationship with the ML. Maybe it's just me, though. Her character was lovable and believable, I can't say the opposite, but maybe I missed something to make her my favorite. I won't look for other dramas from her although I won't discard one either if she plays a role.

2 The 2FL. Others didn't like her and I get why. But to me she was a complex character and she reminded me of some people I know. They aren't evil, they are great people, but they didn't have the chance to be themselves and had to fight to become their true self and while doing this they made mistakes and ruined relationships.

Things I disliked

1 The ending for the second couple. it was realistic, sure, but it was also sad in a way. I didn't want to be sad I wanted them to overcome their problems and be together.

2 The relationship of the 2ML with his new girlfriend. She wasn't the problem. The problem was that I wasn't invested in their relationship and it was like it was there to have a proper ending for all of them. It made me sad and I cried. Something fell off.
