Young Love
I had been putting off this show for some time, since there are lots of interesting ones that came up this year. And one hesitation is perhaps the context of high school love which we know is messy and immature. Am glad I saw the transformation of the main characters as they navigate their own feelings for each other and make peace with the past.
Though this is just 8 episodes, we see the changes in the way they respond to each other as adults. I am not buying the attitude of Kang Ho Young's mom, that she has to threaten her son just to return with her to the US. Yet love conquers all and a compromise is the only solution for Hong Ju and Ho Young.
I like the 2nd couple, the woman being more forward and open, while the guy being awkward and shy. I think the guy is shy as he doesn't feel worthy to be the vice principal's son-in-law in the future. Nevertheless, they pass the hurdle and need not hide their relationship in school.
I like the friendships they retained from high school till adulthood, that though they may have their quirks, they still stuck together. I am glad there is Sang Pil who tried to ground the 2 girls. As for the former love of Hong Ju, he is total jerk for trying to hold on and had not been honest with her. This goes to show the different ways of handling friendship and even lovers.
The other side story of Uncle Wook's love story seem unnecessary. I could not fully understand as to the root cause of his first love's attitude towards him. This uncle is way more immature than Hong Young and his friends.
Did I enjoy watching it? It was ok, but not over the moon.
Will I recommend this? Perhaps yes, if you want to watch something light and short.
Will I rewatch? Not really.
However, having dramas like this is a good break from the action-packed one.
