Nelly

You sound like my friend..I told her to watch until her annoying family leaves and her journey with the ML starts..you won't leave your seat..that's exactly what happened..she cleared 56 episodes in 48 hours

How many episodes have you watched so far?

Sign me up on whatever Seo In Guk is in

Hahaha thank you for being a client sold by my long rumbling.
No.. actually mentioning those dramas doesn't mean I don't like them..it means Youth drama directors have failed to replicate these master pieces..L&P was probably my first Youth drama and I loved it..so is Forever Love,Wang Anyu is one of my favourite C-drama actors.
I haven't watched WIFTY and Lovely Runner just because I tend to steer far away from over popular dramas..
I hope you enjoy Close to You as I did..am a sucker for something different.

Wow..Thank you..I finished it yesterday and didn't want to marinate it,I wanted to write a review based on fresh emotions.
Yes the ending is the only time you question the writer which is a relief but not in away that will make you skip the whole drama.
It's a type of ending whereby the viewers and the writer have had their closure but the director thinks it's a good idea to "man-explain" himself ,if you know what I mean..You go like "was this scene necessary? but gladly it's just technically in the last 4 minutes before credits roll-out..

To future potential viewers:If you are wondering if you should watch or not,I wrote a detailed Review(Nelly) for this surprisingly good short drama.Check it out and make your own judgement.

I wrote a review and mentioned this..it deserves to be in the 7.9 or even 8.0

I just finished the Director's drama "Close To You" and me staying away from highschool dramas ended with this one..it was actually good..so I guess he knows his stuff..I Wil check this one out

Great take on a show that had all the meat and juices.Stepping into the world of J-drama is like walking on a minefield..you don't know when common sense will be blown up but this show despite it's usual Japanese "titling" kept getting saner and saner.I just kept thinking "His character can't develop from a scumbag to a good guy,he is supposed to stay in the original arc" how would the writer turn the table that is already set? But he did and in a uncanny way.
My only negative take is that I feel like the writer played too simple and too safe..If he had turned the ML into the FL's personal trainer,that premeditated punch could have found an entry point and it would have been a vision to behold..That's just me thinking like an unpaid writer 😂

Was I planning to watch this movie? Nope
Did I read the whole review? Yep
Was it as good as watching the movie?Yep
Will I now watch this movie? Nope
I hate women like Xio Mo,they sound narcissistic and entitled without realising that they are hurting others.
I hate people like Chu Qu who have a door mat character.You will do yourself nonfavot if you decide to "suffer" just because you are in the friendzone..not only in the friendzone but you see your love interest going through life majestical while it feels like your job is to wait for them.
And I hate characters like Zhang Tian Hao..

Thank you for saving all of us from an unnecessary anger.Thank you for literally describing the whole movie..feels like we have watched it and thats enough

wow thus was his first drama..he actually did well but I can see he is a stage actor so definitely talented

wow here comes triggered nation..unless we watched a different show..she was really drunk and she kept mentioning Jiang Bohang, clearly the man who was in front of her blurry vision was her love not her friend..

I just finished it and boy oh boy was I in for a big surprise..it's like peeling an onion
I was enjoying the fluff then boom things got deep and more deeper that every character's story is beyond the cute private school uniform.
Give it a try

You are onenof the few reviewers who are like a lighthouse in the sea of dramas that are anywhere near 2025.Yes am in the drama slump era and unashamed to say that am digging anything as long as it gives me butterflies to justify the wrong decisiona of my life..

I get you..
whatever makes you happy

ok..am ashamed to say that I have never used telegram to watch a serie..I will figure it out..
I found it on bilibili but not a good quality

Now we know why the Chinese drama industry is going where it's going..produce what sells by using who sells the most no matter their questionable talent

where did you watch it?

Oooops sorry .fixed

It's a positive thing..I just didn't word it correctly..He is calm,cool and very handsome,you wouldn't think he has done many dramas where he portrays strong or cheeky characters
