I just finished watching this, and honestly, it was such a heartwarming journey, even though the last few episodes felt a little rushed. Let’s break it down.

The story follows U Hyeon, a high school boy secretly crushing on his homeroom teacher, terrified his best friend Doha would judge him if he found out. But to his shock, Doha not only accepts his feelings but confesses his own—asking him to date until graduation. Hoping to move on from his impossible love, U Hyeon agrees… but what he didn’t expect was to actually fall for Doha, too.

First off, I absolutely adored Doha’s character. He was so cute and just radiated charm. His energy was undeniable, and every time he was on screen, I couldn't help but smile. His dynamic with U Hyeon was just too sweet, especially with their height difference, which made Doha look even smaller and added to the adorableness. Their physical moments, like hand-holding and hugging, were some of my favorite parts – they were so genuine and gave off such a warm, fuzzy feeling.

The support from friends was such a highlight. I loved seeing how the group rallied behind each other, It was nice to see the positive energy in the friendships, and I was thrilled when they all ended up finding their happiness.

The OST? Wow. I can't stop listening to "Mirror" by Hamin and Kim Ji Oh, and “Moon Dream” was a track I definitely replayed a lot. They really set the tone for the more emotional scenes, and the music was the perfect backdrop for the blossoming relationship.

Now, about the teacher – I think he was meant to be a kind, supportive figure, but honestly, he came off a little creepy, which took me out of the story sometimes. It didn’t quite hit the mark on what it seemed to be going for, and I was left feeling uncomfortable with how that relationship was portrayed.

Another thing that felt a bit off for me was the "going abroad" trope. I’m just not a huge fan of that plot point, especially because it often feels like a way to add unnecessary drama. However, the emotional payoff was there, and I appreciated the resolution even if it felt a little too quick.

And I'll have to add I like Jun su's character too, he had chemistry with Doha with just a small screentime. Liked his reaction to Doha coming out. Though he did make some mistakes but still was not able to dislike him.


Overall, I started this show because I’m a fan of Hamin (Doha) from BXB/TRCNG, and I'm so glad I did. The series had its flaws, but it also had a ton of heart. The romance between U Hyeon and Doha, the adorable moments, and the supportive friendships made it totally worth watching. Definitely one of those shows that brings a smile to your face, even if the last few episodes were a bit rushed.
In the end, this show was super cute, and while there were a few bumps along the way, the journey was definitely heartwarming!
