it should be a 9 or 10 honestly
So far, it's the best drama released this year.

This is probably my favorite k-drama of 2026 so far. It reminds me a lot of Dr. Romantic, which is still my #1 drama of all time. I'm only on ep 2, but I'm already hooked. The acting is excellent, the story is interesting, and the characters are so easy to get attached to. Ha Ri and Ji Ui have incredible chemistry, and the cinematography is stunning

every frame is a work of art. The pacing is perfect as well; it never feels slow, and I love how the drama takes its time to let every scene and interaction breathe. ♡

For now, I'll keep watching and see if my opinion of him changes. I'm definitely not closed off to the idea. But based on what I've seen so far, his behavior was clearly problematic there's really nothing to defend there.

What you're saying literally makes no sense.

Even if the ML had behaved the same way, I would have reacted exactly the same way. This has nothing to do with being Team ML or Team SML. The difference is that people like u are willing to overlook or minimize bad behavior just because they like a character.

I'm sorry, but if this kind of behavior is acceptable to you, it's not for everyone. We're not people's doormats. the ML himself was basically like, "Excuse me? That's not something you say to someone."

This isn't about picking sides. It's about basic respect and common sense.

As I always say being delulu is the solulu for many people.

Exactly! And yet, according to a lot of people, we're the crazy ones for pointing out disrespectful behavior. That's why I can't help but think that many are simply influenced by the actor's looks. I'm convinced that if the character weren't attractive, they wouldn't be defending him this much or making the same excuses.

Being attractive doesn't excuse condescension or disrespect.
Even the ML was shocked. He literally went, "Excuse me? That's not something you should say to someone." And he was way calmer than I would've been, because honestly, I would've put him in his place right then and there.

personally I'll always call out someone when they have disrespectful or inappropriate behavior, whether it's a man or a woman. What annoys me is that people keep acting like we dislike the second ML for no reason, which is simply not true.We criticize his behavior based on what we've seen so far, and that's completely fair.And honestly, being attractive doesn't excuse everything. I feel like a lot of people forget that. Good looks don't magically make arrogance, disrespect, or condescension acceptable.

The real issue is that many of you refuse to acknowledge when a character behaves inappropriately (especially when its a guy). Instead, you overlook it because you assume he'll eventually change or get character development or because he's hot. But future growth doesn't erase problematic behavior in the present, nor does it mean people can't criticize it.

If someone acted like that in real life, most of you wouldn't tolerate it either. Pointing out disrespectful or problematic behavior is completely normal.

Wasn't he rude in Episode 1, though? The way he talked about plastic surgeons while eating with the ML was pretty condescending, especially considering he was saying it right in front of him. Are you seriously going to tell me that was okay?

Yeah, and people keep acting blind to it. They'll say, "He's just not expressive enough" or " He doesn't owe him anything, he barely knows him , He wasn't rude" Like, what? It's just basic respect. This isn't even about friendship you simply don't talk to people like that. His behavior is incredibly immature, but apparently it's okay because he's handsome.

(And just to be clear, I'm talking about the character, not the actor. I have nothing against the actor at all. in fact I think he's doing a great job portraying the role. He plays the character really well it's just that I don't like the character himself).

I haven't watched the latest episode yet, so maybe I'll change my mind later. But I'm judging him based on what the show has given us so far, and honestly, it hasn't been great. Pretending otherwise would be an exaggeration. My issue is that people were already praising him long before the latest episode. Sure, a character can develop and improve over time that's not the point. The point is that, up until now, most of the impressions he's given haven't been good.

I totally agree. On top of that, Lee Jae-wook is way more handsome, and his character is genuinely lovable. At some point, looks alone can only take you so far. Honestly, if I met the second lead in real life, I probably wouldn't even give him a second glance.

I genuinely don't understand why so many people prefer the 2nd lead here. He's handsome, I'll give him that, but that's about it. I seriously don't get how people see him as a better character. He gives off major male pick-me vibes, and he's unnecessarily rude to the ML for no reason. 🤷‍♀️

Just started it and I'm already obsessed 1st ep is a 10/10. The vibe is amazing, the character dynamics are great, the dialogues feel natural, and the cinematography is beautiful. This might finally cure my Sold Out On You slump 🌸

worthy?

2026?

mid for me.

i kinda agree

I totally agree. Episode 3 honestly made me really uncomfortable. I actually liked the approach at first, but when the teacher decided to “take matters into her own hands,” I expected something like kicking her out of class or giving her a proper punishment… but no, it escalated into straight-up hitting her?? That genuinely disgusted me. And then you’ve got the other one clapping in the background like wtf??

This is why i said it feels like the writing deliberately escalates situations into something almost grotesque just to serve the plot, rather than portraying a believable school environment..
