So this one was a weird one for me. I felt the acting, crying scenes and kiss scenes were done really really well, but the drama suffered from iffy writing and pacing. I don't know how they made 6 40 minute episodes feel like an eternity. I found myself watching it at 2x speed and skipping around a lot of the scenes with the girl friend group (though they were cute lol). I just felt that I didn't get to see the character development I really wanted to see with the couples. I feel like Chris and Jeno had more development than Tongfah and Paper. I also don't like how we never got to see why certain things were the way they were, like the accident that was never explained. I feel like if more time was spent on the MC it would have been better. But dang, those kiss scenes tho. The way they were acted was really really good.
Wow I'm really loving this and I am having a hard time waiting for new eps lmao. Why didn't I wait until it was finished sdfghjk. Now I'm constantly thinking about it.
TW// . . . . . . . . . Alright so, I put off watching this drama for a long time because I was afraid it was going to trigger me and it indeed did, but I decided I really wanted to watch the whole thing because it was important. This is an absolutely incredible drama. It's one of the best romance dramas I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. I don't think I've ever cried this much and have it hit so hard before. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community with unaccepting parents, this hit really close to home.
I'm curious as to why the totality of the trope/cliche/fluff/predictable writing and plot don't annoy you at least…
That's fine, you don't have to get it. I just watch what I find fun. Think of it like a pop song. It's predictable, easy to listen to, and many people like it that way. Then you have more complicated music which can be harder to digest for a lot of people, so they don't seek it out as often as the usual pop they like to consume. I just like watching dramas that are easy to digest. And sometimes I find satisfaction in predicating every little thing they're going to do with a drama.
Well I'm here to pour some sunshine to this comment section. Seems like people are getting bored of the slowness…
You took the words right out of my mouth! I'm really loving this drama right now and the more time I spend waiting for the newest episodes I realize I think about it every single day LOL.

I personally do not get tired of seeing similar plots and clichés. That's basically what you expect when you watch romance dramas and IMO, that's what makes them fun. Sure, I love watching some more unique stuff with better writing sometimes but I personally always have the most fun watching the fluffy tropes more. That's the magic of having individual preferences. Nothing wrong with it.
While the writing does leave a little bit to be desired in the episodes that have aired thus far, I'm really enjoying this a lot. I like the pacing, nothing is feeling too rushed. I also love the chemistry between the actors.
Interesting that people can actually like Jing Teng, who not only sexually assaulted Yi Chen when he didn't want it on multiple occasions and who is emotionally manipulative and physically abusive to not only Yi Chen but to Yi Jun (or w/e her name was). The writing was all over the place, though I had a real good laugh at the pentagram scene, good angry spoops. Anyways, this would have all panned out better had they made Jing Teng less like a crazy wacko and more like someone who can walk around without committing crimes left and right. This seems to be an unpopular opinion.
