vou dar uma chance só mesmo por causa deste comentário porque a capa sempre me fez sentir que era um drama péssimo

i can see how this show could have been a hit in 2015. the ml's acting is suberb, you can really tell which alter he is just by the change in his expression. the storyline drags on for too long. there is a reason dramas are 20 episodes long anymore. the fl's acting was cheesy and over the top even in kdrama standards. i think the character itself was likable but the acting decisions were made wrong. it took me out a bit because no way a psychiatric doctor would behave like that in front of her patient. laughing, making sudden movements, speaking very loudly when an emergency is happening and she doesnt know how the patient might react? im giving it a 7 overall because even though it was cliche after cliche and at times boring, it wasnt too predictable and the ml's acting elevated this show to a whole other level. without him this show could have easily be a 5 in my standards, not having seen it when it first aired doesnt give me that nostalgic feeling most people on here have for the show and only being into kdramas for the 2 years gave me a different set of standards on what to expect. I think the praise was too high and it didnt live up to the hype but it's not a bad show. watch it if you have free time and nothing else to watch. skip ahead the boring parts tho, dw they repeat the same story point a lot so you wont miss any important detail

honesty, had it not been for the predatory love storyline (drag me all you want, that grown man knew her since she was a kid, knew she liked him) this would have easily been a 10/10 for me. the flow, the storyline, the enemies to best friends, the nostalgia, the friend group... wow, it warmed my heart so much. it made me look back on my own school days with fondness. this made me want to learn fencing and i never in my life cared for that sport. the outfits, the soundtrack, the diary, the beginning of the internet, the flashbacks and flashforwards, the bookstore and fighting over a copy of a manghwa that just came out... this really had the potential to be up there with hometown chachacha and hotel de luna for me. i waited on the edge of my sit every week for a new episode. it had been a while since that had happened to me but then the last few episodes hit a wall for me and greatly disappointed me. there was almost nothing of substance, i sticked it out for the fls because everything else was a miss for me (yes, i wanted the girls to get together but i knew they werent going to do it so dont you dare say i dont like the ml because of that and not because of the grooming).
