strong start, awful middle, ridiculous end!
this drama has definitely a strong start: cute, nostalgic and light-hearted which to me, fades quite quickly.
we meet our FL and her 2 buddies. they navigate love, friendship and academic matters... or do they?
on the surface we should be witnessing a close group of friends who supports each other but that is far from the truth.
the only reason these 3 stick together is because of a shared love interest. the female lead has a supposed "best friend" which these 2 guys treat like a sub human for no good reason.
starting the drama I was rooting for the main guys but after seeing how the treat this port girl I couldn't root for them anymore.
later on this girl becomes cartonishly evil for no reason because they just want to make the main group shine.
the FL should be this caring girl but she absolutely unable to see how her 2 friends treat the "mean girl".
she is totally oblivious. her friend gets injured several times and they don't even ask how she is doing which is basic human decency.
the cherry on top is that the "mean girl" asks the FL is she has any feelings towards the main guy and the FL clearly says "no, he is just a friend to me exactly like you are".
but then , when the ml is throwing a birthday party, FL gets super mad at her friend for giving a present to the ml.
what? like anyone at that party she gave the guy a present, but FL gets mad only at her because she is supposedly making a move on someone she clearly stated she likes (unlike female lead which lies on her feelings).
after that part I couldn't care anymore for the main couple. FL is nice only when it doesn't inconvent her.
after this whole drama, the series transform the "evil girl" into a psycho for no reason except for making the other guy "the good ones". insane.
putting the main protagonist aside, this drama is incapable of creating a group dynamics. these classmates barely talk to one another but we are supposed to believe they ll stick together forever.. why?
the drama focuses excessively on the school theme it becomes pretty boring at the end.
the "romance" aspect is there but not there. we see the main couple clearly getting close to one another but until the last 4 episodes nothing happens between them.
if you are looking for interactions between a couple that is not the drama for you.
reaching the 3/4 mark this drama gets heavy all of a sudden. people get sick, people move abroad, people disappear...I feel they wanted to be dramatic so badly putting all their strength into a heavy storyline which will bring us into a "intense " end.
it didn't work for me.
there is barely any background of the characters discussed for the first 16 episode...
the ending: oh boy what a cliche.
many people approach the "let's meet after x amount of years" plot line but this was just embarrassing.
30 years old girl and you are still thinking about a guy you meet in high school which didn't contact you in 10 years??
how? how is this romantic? and the worst part is that he is being following her lurking in the shadows for years without ever telling her.
I get that is easier to lose contact with your friend who went to Germany, but this guy went to Shanghai..not the Moon.
at the end I feel these people only cared about each other and no one else.
I get that if you are 13 this can look amazing, but over the age of 13 I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
