I honestly thought I wouldn't like this drama, so watching it wasn't even on my radar. But then I came across a TikTok review saying it was actually a really good romance drama, and well... I couldn't resist giving it a try.

And now? I have such a love-hate relationship with it 😂.

First of all, I have absolutely NOTHING to complain about when it comes to the acting. It's amazing! And the writing? The dialogue? WOW. Everything flows so naturally. No awkward pauses, no weirdly forced conversations, no unnecessary dragging. The characters actually talk like real people! I genuinely thought they had forgotten how to make dramas like this anymore. I'm seriously impressed.

BUT THE STORYLINE? Oh boy. GIRL. 😭

Why do you have to be the one to confess your feelings first?! And not just that, why does it feel like EVERY first move comes from her? I mean, if you watch the drama, you'll understand why she acts the way she does, and it does make sense in the context of the story. But still... I can't help feeling a little frustrated 😂.

And then there's the professor...

I'm not even going to lie, I would absolutely watch an entire romantic kdrama about the female lead and the professor. HAHA. There's definitely something interesting about their dynamic, and honestly? I wouldn't even be mad if they ended up together. 👀 Or maybe I would. I mean, he does give off slightly creepy vibes . But there's something about their interactions that makes me curious.

So yeah, here I am, completely impressed by the quality of this drama while simultaneously questioning the romantic decisions of its female lead 😭😂.

But then again, I'm such a mama bear when it comes to these things. I just feel like a man should know what he wants and actually go after it. And yes, I KNOW it's complicated for him. I understand his struggles, his circumstances, and why he might be hesitant. I'm not saying his feelings aren't genuine.

BUT COME ON 😭

At some point, I just want to see him take the initiative! Give me a man who knows what he wants, who isn't afraid to show it, and who makes the woman feel like she's worth pursuing. Is that really too much to ask? 😂

Maybe that's just the romantic in me. I love a good slow burn, I love complicated emotions, and I can appreciate a realistic relationship. But I also want that moment when the male lead finally stops overthinking everything and makes it crystal clear that he wants HER.

Still, the fact that I'm this emotionally invested probably says a lot about how well-written this drama actually is 😂 .

I'm frustrated but I'm impressed!

So I guess the drama is doing something right.
