One of the best kdramas I've watched in a while
Ima try to keep it sweet and simple, the actor portrays the protagonist so well, it really resembles the webtoon version (Gray) especially those eyes. they made Bryce (Beomseok) way too kind and gave him a bigger role than what he's supposed to have ngl... but it is the first season and it's all about his backstory so maybe they wanted to exaggerate it even more and give more depth to his character... because in the webtoon he's a piece of crap. Suho(stephen in webtoon) is easily my favorite character and quite literally is the reason why Sieun/Gray is who he is and where he's at right now. It's crazy to me that I've seen people acting like he doesn't deserve the hype, like hello?!that being said,
don't come near me with a pen

Decent drama
This is my first review ever on this site but I wanted this to be the first because this is the only drama where I felt like it was off for some reason. It's not good nor bad... but it makes you want to continue it to the end. I wouldn't say it's the one of the best dramas I've ever watched... but as it got to the end it felt heartwarming and I liked how it ended.For why I think it's off, it felt very predictable and cliche, not sure if it's meant to be that way. I started watching kdramas at a very young age and have watched various dramas so I expected this to have the same feel as most, but I didn't feel any crazy climax or anything too crazy with this one. I can't explain the vibe, but it's an odd feeling. I guess I thought it was going to be more dark or deep? I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad drama, but the story felt average to me. It felt odd, unrealistic, and some things kinda didn't make sense together. It could be that it was short or maybe they're trying to follow the webtoon? (FYI, I do not read webtoons of kdramas). However, I do like the message of the story and the ending. It was simple and straight to the point. There are definitely pros too.
I did like how Ho-In gave off creepy vibes at first, especially with his smile. I also liked the FL a lot and her crush. I liked how Ae-Jin accepted the truth in the end and finally came terms with everything. She finally had "idgaf" energy and I was annoyed with how a lot of the characters in the show were afraid to do anything.. especially Ho-In... just being horrible people but I guess that was meant to literally happen. It does in a way reflect reality and society even when it felt unrealistic, especially the classmates often switching up on people and ignoring any ounce of bullying...
Btw, I loved loved Jin Sung.. he is literally the sweetest. I like how simple his character is, he never switched up on Ae-Jin even when she assumed the worse. He was an adorable green flag :)
Anyway, 7/10 for me.
