A Nostalgia-Filled Journey That Deserved More Episodes

This drama has a strong sense of nostalgia. Its biggest strength lies in the characters, all of whom are incredibly charming. If you enjoy the “friends-to-lovers” trope, this one is a must-watch. The story itself isn’t groundbreaking, but the way the characters interact makes it so engaging that you constantly want to see what happens next.

The narrative is split into three arcs: the high school arc (the longest and, in my opinion, the best), the university arc, and the working-life arc, which lasts only about three episodes. The main drawbacks are that the university and work arcs feel a bit rushed, and the added love triangles are unnecessary this is mainly why my rating is slightly lower.

I also think the drama could have benefited from a few extra episodes. With more time, the characters could have developed more naturally, and the story could have explored additional themes, which would have been really interesting, especially since so many ideas were already well-developed during the high school arc. Despite these flaws, it’s still a very good drama that I’d recommend.
