I almost dropped it

I almost dropped it, I was persistent and kept watching because I was curious as to why it had a very high rating.
The vibe was nice, but it was not until they dropped the GR and JJ thing, that I was willing to keep watching. They were probably the ones that held the drama until the last 4-5 episodes.
Before that, there was no story, no plot, not real progress, just a bunch of random things happening in high school to a group of friends that was formed just because, and a cute girl wanting to be friends with a boy that didn't want anything to do with anyone.
Not early, just by the time GR realized his feelings towards JJ, they first showed the conflict every character was facing, and I could care more about the characters. Wish it could've been earlier in the series.
I guess viewers liked the vibes and the friendship. And I also liked that, but I think it could have been better plotted. It was not until they faced hardships together, that I believed their friendship was real.
Also, I hated how ZZ grew apart from her best friend because she liked RR.
As to GR and JJ, I liked them a lot!! I was so excited when their romantic story started, but sadly, it didn't live up to the expectations, the characters were not shown in most of the last episodes, so no progress, and then they rushed it in the last episode. If they wanted to give them screen time, they should have done something that was worth with it.
As to RR and ZZ, they were very cute, but I only enjoyed their romantic story in the last 4-5 episodes or so, they didn't have any progress during the whole series practically. I loved their couple phase, and how RR treats her (apart from the fact he is so handsome) they were a very cute couple. I liked that they grew up together. But during the school phase, it was literally watching an annoying girl insisting on building a friendship with a guy she found cute, and I didn't even know in the first episodes if RR was annoyed by her or not.
I also didn't like that ZZ didn't have any flaws or personal conflicts, almost everyone had. Which made the series more enjoyable and makes the audience empathize and care for the characters. Almost all of them found themselves, learnt things, but ZZ (I'm talking about her bc she's the protagonist) didn't go through any struggles, personal conflict, more than expecting RR wouldn't ask her to not talk to her any more.
I liked the vibes the drama gave, and I liked the couple tropes, but they failed to light the drama early + there was no real plot.

So, if you have patience, like school vibes, handsome ml and pretty fl, cute couple moments, and don't mind a plot-less drama, but a life of a couple from their school years to their adult phase. I think it can be a good choice.
