Great ideas, Too repetitive
I honestly forgot about this drama until recently, but I came back because I still remembered how unique it felt. What stood out the most was Eun Dan-oh — Kim Hye-yoon was genuinely perfect for the role. She brought so much energy, emotion, and charm to the character that she became unforgettable for me.
The chemistry between the leads was adorable and had me smiling through so many scenes. I also loved the cinematography and overall aesthetic. The pastel colors and dreamy atmosphere matched the storybook/comic vibe beautifully and made the drama visually memorable.
What surprised me most was how much deeper the themes were than I expected. The drama explores ideas about fate, identity, and whether our choices matter, which made it more emotionally engaging than a typical school romance.
My biggest issue was the pacing in the later episodes. After the first half, the story started to feel repetitive emotionally, and some character dynamics became tiring instead of exciting. I also wished Ha-ru had been written with more individuality outside of the romance because I wanted to connect with him more as his own person.
Even with those flaws, I still think the drama deserves a 7.5/10 because of how creative, emotional, and visually beautiful it was. I just wish the second half had stayed as strong as the beginning.
