if you like cute stories this might be 4 u

don't be fooled by me dropping the drama 1 episode from the very end.
the fact is that I can stand fluff to a certain extend and even though I like cuteness I must take it in small doses🤣.



Let's start with the plot:
Young medical student is rumored to be the new girlfriend of the top guy at the school. To disperse these rumors she enters an agreement with said guy to show they are just friends but along the way they catch feeling for each other.
The plot is pretty simple but still enjoyable.

Let me tell that the first 10 ish episode are hilarious. I found myself chuckling multiple times.

The main leads have good chemistry and their acting is so good.

Especially the ml dead pan delivery had me dead.

I appreciate the FL from previous series. Funnily enough everytime I see her on screen she is heartbroken 🤣.

one if the secondary couple (the cousin) kinda feel like a parody of main stream drama couples. They are so stereotypical ridiculous that they become funny.

The main love story is entertaining (for the most part) and sweet but unfortunately they suffer the same terrible fate of other dramas... After they get together the drama is basically over.

the other secondary couples are quite irrelevant to be honest.

In the first half of the drama we witness the struggle of a mediocre student and her indecisiveness when It comes to school of future carrier. I really enjoyed that part because geniuses are rare and we all struggle one way or the other.

Unfortunately when the main couple gets together these struggles feel a bit like a "filler". They are still there but I feel they are more of a plot convenience than a character development.

To be frank the "conflict" in the drama is not enough to justify 24 episodes and some dynamics drag out for too long.
The last 5 episode were boring as hell.

Would I still recommend this drama?
yes, but only if you really like cute stuff.

The first episodes are funny, the middle part is dragged out and the final episode are filled with so much "sweetness" , which is not my cup of tea, but many people would probably enjoy all that fluff.
