A breeze is all you get
The story sets up a good premise, but it doesn't delve deep enough into exploring some of the elements of the plot. For example, the insomnia, I would have loved to see a more in-depth look at their school history, and the misunderstanding was sort of dragged out for no reason. So, I could sometimes feel myself not as engaged in watching.It focuses mainly on the two main characters, which I enjoyed, and switches between the past and the present. Some other comments stated this was confusing; I didn't have that problem, as you can tell by whether they are wearing their uniform or not.
The production and acting were good overall. It was a cute and enjoyable watch, but I don't think it is a must-see.

Sweet & Comforting
I just rewatched this show again and was reminded why I loved it so much the first time. Even though it is short, it is able to tell its story almost perfectly and far better than some longer form KBL's I have watched. The acting is well done, and I fell in love with all the characters and their interactions. It's a comforting show revolving around a supposed unrequited love from school years and what happens when they reconnect years later while working on a dating sim together.The only downside was I wished we could have gotten to explore their school years together more, but they gave us a creative insight by using the end credits, so I didn't feel like I got nothing of that time together. Also, it would have been nice to maybe see more of their time apart, but again, they were still able to give the gist of it well in the short time frame they had.
If you want a simple, fluffy, well-told story, then this is for you. It is definitely a comfort show that I can see myself revisiting in the future.

Cute characters but kind of loses the plot
I wanted to love this premise but the overall plot was kind of not great.The actors and characters were very cute and I enjoyed their interactions and the chemistry between them the most. It's probably the number one thing that kept me watching all the way through. Sometimes the acting felt a little off but that may be the plot/script more than the actors fault.
The overall plot was kind of unbelievable and all over the place. First, the premise of an entertainment company buying a professional football team and replacing half the players with their own idols (who aren't professional players in any shape or form) is not really believable to me - they're going to rely on their marketibility and good looks to keep the team successful? Yeah right! How about when they have to play real matches? (Which they do not show much of lol - more a bl with a garnish of football if you will)
As for the plot going forward, it honestly felt like they kept coming up with plot points, but couldn't seamlessly connect them all together. So sometimes you feel like you're jumping from one scene to the next, instead of smoothly transitioning forward.
It's low budget, so a lot of the scenes happen in the same locations, not a huge turn off for me, but something to note.
Overall, it's a fun easy watch if you don't take it too seriously and question the plot too much lol. The characters/actors are the saving grace of it all.
