Drama was filled with so many twist,turns and various backstories that this show ended up giving me a migraine ! (But then again I did binge watch this over a span of 3 days...So best to take my word for it with a pinch of salt. )
The ending was really disappointing though..Felt like all my time and frustrations over the characters life were a total waste.
I GET that this series is FANTASY but I still believe that the writers could have ended this series in a MUCH BETTER WAY if they could come up with all those twist for the latter 17 episodes :/
Plus points (+) for the aesthetically pleasing cinematography and great acting ! Negative Points (-) For the slow pacing of the story ! Felt like the whole plot was pushed to fill the last hour leaving the first half empty with no content.
I really feel like I wasted a LOT of my time watching this because of the way it ended (which in my opinion was one of the WORST ending of all time ) .
If I could write a letter to this show's writers...It would probably consist of a LONG LIST of complaints. I really hated the fact that the show was trying to ship the two leads together only in the LAST EPISODE while for the whole of the 9/10 episodes they had literally married Ha Ni to Shi Kyung :/ The whole U-Turn plot wise really seemed weird.
I get that this show got cut short to 10 episodes..But that doesn't mean I have to like it either. Surplus Princess had some potential and a great cast that could have carried it off but unfortunately the plot was too much of a dead weight.
This drama was a 10/10 for UNTIL the last few episodes,that is.
All of a sudden everything that could go wrong in everyone's life predictably went wrong and even though that created an intense build-up towards the finale (& made almost every character cry)..The ending felt almost anti-climactic and disjoint from the whole drama with scences just dragging unnecessary.
One of the best High School Dramas of all time <3 Beautiful soundtrack, Great young cast,a painful Love PENTAGON & commendable cinemography. The story was slightly weak if compared to the other aspects of the drama,so it's probably best that they finished it off with 12 episodes.
I only wish they hadn't finished it off with an open ending...But I guess It makes sense that they did since they ARE all high schoolers. But nevertheless I wish we had a bit more conformation about the two leads and their relationship by the end.
The last episode felt kind of rushed..Wish they had shown how the resolved n reconciled rather than just skipping to the epilogue..It probably would have made more sense that way.
The only problem I had with this as watching the camera zoom in and out of their faces (Thanks to all that shaky close-up) otherwise, an overall ok one-time watch if your not a got7 fan.
Lee Won Geun smile was everything :) He somehow made the slow episode a bit more bearable.. The two leads were sweet together,so points for their chemistry as well.
The most adorable drama I've seen in ages ❤️ Would highly recommend !
Beautiful story,lovely cinemography and great chemistry :) And the OST is just as amazing.

P.S: I'm really tired of seeing Park So Dam as the 'Short haired tomboy that is super poor with no family at all'
I guess we are left to interpret it as we want.
All of a sudden everything that could go wrong in everyone's life predictably went wrong and even though that created an intense build-up towards the finale (& made almost every character cry)..The ending felt almost anti-climactic and disjoint from the whole drama with scences just dragging unnecessary.
So for that, Final Rating: 8/10
