another DRAMA RUINED BY A BAD SECOND HALF.
Plot: 2 childhood friends discovering feeling for each other.
Observations🗯️🗯️
I fricking loved the first half of the drama. It was really sweet and Light-hearted. These kind of drama usually are more heavy on cuteness, but this one was also really funny.
The first episodes take place in highschool where we meet our ml and ml. They've been fraternal friends for whole their lives but at the end of highschool our little Didi starts seeing our jiejie under a different light.
This first half is really engaging because we experience their school life, friendship and private life.
There is definitely more stuff happening in the first half than in the later episodes.
We focus on our FL struggles with school and having dreams and on the ml past with his father.
Their friends are also an important part of their development.
Unfortunately once we leave highschool and enter university everything becomes flat.
The main focus is of course our ml pursuing his jiejie but when they get together, the drama declines drastically.
Nothing of substance happens and whatever is on screen is irrelevant.
The last 10 episodes are basically other people trying to get with our protagonists. Everyone is in love with them and this trope becomes tiring pretty quickly.
I know that this is a slice of life kind of shows but not even the characters are able to hold your attention.
Even though years have passed they all stay the same. They way they speak, act, not even their clothes change.
It was frankly Bizzare seeing them act so childish but at the same time talk about marriage, living together.
Even the kisses felt "childish" after 3 years of dating.
There is no saving grace In the second half. The characters they add are inconsequential.
The only main thing happening was the FL best friend falling in love. It was cute but not interesting enough to be honest.
To summarize:
Positives✅✅
Female lead. I know she always plays this kind of character but she does it damn well. She and her best friend relationship was super funny.
The first half of the drama. Perfect when you feel down and just want to see cute stuff.
Negatives❌
The ml acting. Boy was he bad.
The dubbing. It is often out of synch and weird in same moments.
The parents literally bullying a kid. When the FL invites a friend at home they are so rude to him because they fear he is going to "steal" their future daughter in law. Weird and frankly disgusting behavior.
Too corny. Talking about your kids wedding in their first years of college.. really?
The guy just graduated high school and is thinking about a family with her soon to be girlfriend.....
No characters development with very few exceptions. The only person I feel did grow up was the FL best friend.
Is it worth it? I think it depends on how much you can endure. If you are fine with corny stuff I think you'll be good watching this.
