Is this written by a 6 year old?

This is just straight-up shit just like the webtoon, a teenager can write a better story than this. The main characters are boring with not much depth in their characters, I don't see the chemistry everyone's been talking about. Hwang In-Yeop definitely carried this formulaic drama.

A lot of people adore Cha Eun Woo, and I understand why. His looks are extraordinary, but he's like a wooden plank on screen. I've seen all his dramas, and his character is always the same. I would rather have an average looking actor who can actually act.

On the other hand, Moon Ga Young did pretty good. Seo-jun and Jukyung have more chemistry, and I was actually rooting for them to get together. I just don't understand why they have to force Jukyung and Su-ho as the endgame when we can clearly see who's the better man. But I get it, Seo-jun deserves someone better.

I was hoping to see Jukyung's character development as this drama is about a teenage girl who was bullied for her looks. So, seeing her confident and secure of herself plays such a vital role in the whole drama. Yet, they didn't do none of that. I don't think they have properly shown how she finally appreciates herself. It's just more focused on who ends up with who, and that's just what makes this drama even worse than it already is.

There's just nothing I hate more than an FL who can't do anything by themselves without their prince charming. She's a weak character, the writing is an absolute mess. No wonder why the webtoon is hated by many.

Not only that, I just don't understand how people get captivated with an emotionless character. I might be biased but Seo-jun takes the cake!

All I really liked about this drama are Jukyung and Seo-jun's chaotic scenes together plus the amazing OST. I wouldn't say this is entirely terrible, but if you're expecting a lot and your standards are high then it might disappoint you. I would recommend this to K-drama beginners since it's light and mediocre.
