ml deserved better
This drama is not bad. When I watched it in 2020, I really liked it, but now when I re-watched it, I don't think it's that good.
The efforts are completely one-sided. Kim Bok-joo had a crush on Jung Jae-yi, she was a little obsessed with him. But when the main lead Joon-hyung came and started liking her, she started putting in all the efforts which she never did for him before. So why is that? The efforts she did for her crush, she should have done for the main lead too. It felt unbalanced.
And honestly, she was a bit annoying and loud at times, which was annoying to watch. Maybe I don't know, it's just me or if anyone else feels the same, but her shouting and overreacting got too much in some episodes.
But yes, I have to say - I love the way he loved her. Jung Joon-hyung's love was so pure, patient, and comforting. He knew her since childhood, he supported her dream, he loved her even in her most insecure moments. Maybe he deserved a little better.
What I still love about this drama is its real charm though. It's not about heavy plot twists. It's about youth, friendship, dreams, and first love. The weightlifting team, the swimming team, the friendship between Bok-joo, Nan-hee and Seon-ok is so wholesome. The story pace is clean and light, so it's a very comfortable watch.
No high hopes, but good for a light, healing, one-time watch.
