A very wholesome kdrama
I know I might be exaggerating but this drama was legitimately very wholesome for a drama about teens. I first watched this drama in 2021 when it was still being released weekly and it was really good to my teen mind so I rewatched it and I still find it to be really good.
I loved that they explored some heavy topics like bullying, the harm that society’s beauty standards have on people even from childhood and the very complex relationship the fl had with her mother. Romantic kdramas have a tendency to be very funny and lighthearted in the first few episodes and then get very heavy and boring later on but this drama was able to balance the romcom and the gloom also.
Some people may disagree but I think that ju-kyung and su-ho are well matched and that their personalities fit each other, su-ho really struggles with expressing his emotions while ju-kyung is insecure, recovering from being bullied and is feeling guilty because she feels like she’s living a lie so they find comfort in each other. They also have a past connection so it makes sense that romantic feelings would develop.
I didn’t enjoy su-ho or the second male leads characters though, there are certain things/misunderstandings that occur due to su-ho’s inability to communicate and the second male lead only likes ju-kyung because of her relationship with su-ho and picks on her for some reason. I honestly feel like none of them deserve her but su-ho does overcome his issues.
The drama was kind of cliche but it was well done and the acting was good.
