More friends than lovers..
A deep bond forms between the misunderstood “bad boy” of the school & the abandoned new girl who’s got problems of her own.
This is an easy youth drama to watch when you’re in the mood for a great band of friends who always have each other’s backs as they go through the ups & downs of growing up. Life isn’t easy, but it’s definitely better with your forever squad on your side!
I’m a big fan of the ML in roles like these! I really enjoyed his scenes as he’s able to say so much without ever even talking. And he always has such great chemistry with his character’s friend group that I swear they have to be actual friends in real life, haha.
The FL felt a bit stiff to me. I’ve watched her in multiple dramas &… I’m not sure why, but she never really seems to emote. She just feels blank to me so I have a hard time connecting with the characters she plays. No shade, though, because I most certainly wouldn’t be able to act in front of people at all so I have no room to judge or determine her level of talent!
This has:
- Familial drama for both Leads
- Slight enemies to lovers feel
- High school & college days
- Separation & rough reunion
- Super toxic mother (FL’s)
- Extremely loyal friends
- Athletic & stoic ML
- Strong & independent FL
- No love triangle
- Barely any skinship
The Leads have a very healthy relationship amongst themselves, but also with their friends. They’re both mature & brave, willing to sacrifice as well as forgive which shows a great depth of strength. They’ve each got legit trauma that they help heal in one another. And while I loved their bond of friendship & how loyal they are to each other, I have to admit that they didn’t quite pull off the role of lovers. They just felt more like best buddies. Which isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just not at all what I was expecting or what I prefer to see between Leads. Still a worthwhile, one-time watch though.
BONUS: if you’re a “When I Fly Towards You” drama fan, then you’ll be happy to see the actors of RangRang & Gu Ran reunited as besties here too!
