what do you look for in youth drama?
when i look for a youth drama i want to see a good mix of romance and the situations arise at that young age and the consequences of your actions. where most cdrama don't touch upon the latter this was different.i was hooked from the first episode to the last. it's not draggy it doesn't feel cringe and there are no blinding plot holes.
1. story- as an avid watcher of Youth dramas this was very refreshing for me it actually deals with the problems of youth like arrogance, innocence, high school embarrassments and first love and heartbreak but what's different in this was it showed the not so fun parts with great deal od empathy for the characters like financial struggles , regret, failure especially in academic life and losing your dreams. I genuinely felt so refreshed seeing it.
2. Romance - I'm a sucker for aa childhood sweetheart romance. and i personally like characters like the main leads especially the girl. Someone who doesn't wait for the other to take the first step she can take the initiative on her own. someone said in a review it's a wrong message to send to girls but i love to see anyone chase after the other if they're worth it for them no matter the gender.
3. Uniqueness - one thing about cdrama you see is the characters all have good life ahead no matter what situation was previously. this drama is more realistic in that sense it shows that sometimes things just doesn't work out. the universe doesn't care if you're a gifted genius or genuinely a good person sometimes bad things happen just because and you have to do your best.
this drama in my opinion gives out very good messages likr not taking opportunities lightly and not letting your insecurity and perfectionism get in the way of happiness you deserve as a human and you're not a failure just cuz you didn't accomplish your dreams . I highly recommend it.
this is my first review and it's only my opinion. sometimes different things touch you in different ways and this did it for me.
there are some cons like: i wish the turn around of the ml was done in a different way but that would have taken a few more episodes and i didn't see any actual apology from either of his parents (but thats honestly very accurate for Asian parents lol)
Honestly I'm glad i didn't check out the reviews when i started this series. it's ironic that I'm writing one after reading the negative reviews... BYE
