Okay late to the party but I have binge watched it for the first time. No cinderella story it is. Very real quarter life crisis based with unique act. Ae ra should have been cheering for him in the last episode with that God forsaken mic for the throwback & announced his name as a winner excitedly. That's what have tied the ending well.
It's like watching a romance drama with no side characters & subplots. Pure, warm & very charming tale of friends to lovers trope with great Cinematography & storytelling. Hyung-sik đź«°
WHAT A WASTE of potential.
