OK its simple fun, but its very well written and all the couple stories are integrated really well, and hidden in some of the sugary -ness there are some realistic themes about loss and suppressed grief. That sometimes what you need change and it's no ones fault, and now two relationships are the same.
It's one if you want to fill an hour you can pick up one of the stories again.
I have to admit my favourite character is Po, because I think he is a bit like a lot of us at that age, trying to catch up with everyone else, and some how it doesn't work out quite how he imagined.

I wanted to rate this higher but it was bit like a dimmed light bulb or a meal that needs salt, good ingredients, nicely made but just lacking. I nearly cared, I really wanted to care but in the end, it needed a bit more dramatic tension of any sort, it was all too reasonable,

I used to work in a school and some teenagers look in their twenties and some look about twelve even when they are eighteen, its just everyone develops at different rates, and genetics.

So far it looks amazing, proper cinema photography and editing.
I hate programmes about food, but this if fun, has the feel of a proper rom com with edge.

Its long and for the most part most of the story doesn't flag, although I could have done without most of the eps about FL school days. A fairly realistic portrayal of recovering after a head trauma, and going through the phases to relearn skills.
I loved depiction of young men who like real life are constantly grazing like bullocks.
Of course the main leads are amazing.

One of the most consistently funny dramas ever, some scenes are just comedy gold even if you have seen them multiple times.
I think the FL is not frightened of using her face for comic effect, and that makes it human and relatable.
I am not sure losing weight is perhaps a good goal for weight lifter unless they are deliberatly wanting to get in to a lower weight division.

I watch this as a cheer up, the leads are both great comic actors and the female lead not afraid of using her facial muscles,
The story perhaps could have been condensed but its typical k drama.

If you like angst and self flagellation this is the one for you. Its good because the actors make it believable, in anyone else it would be a sticky mess.
It does have a happy ending but you think you have been put trough ringer for it.
All the actors are good but Kim Young-kwang and Lee Sung Kyung stand out.

This was a comfort watch for me, although the idea of living with your teenage self is a nightmare.
The comedy is based in reality and not too slapstick, and I think its one of Kim Young-kwang best comic roles. Yes you do have the inevitable family drama but its not over done.

We were obviously watching the same drama.

I completed but was not impressed. I found the plot messy and disjointed, it reminded me of an old an old Hammer horror film where it's so OTT you are bordering on laughing. Looks great most of the time, I just didn't believe any of it.

Just why? I watched it thinking perhaps this will go somewhere, it didn't. The main leads do their stock characters, the ML does his stuff like he has in just about every drama he has been in and that makes it a bit less painful.

Its OK but just too tropey to be good, and there is not a lot to like about the ML. The 2ML is a lot more fun, the friend who is not much of a friend, The message you have to 'look good' to be valued is a just a bit sh!t, but almost well packed enough not to notice.

I think you do not have to take this seriously, this was made in a time when things were made for just fun, and that is what it is, just a light teen drama. Its not awful, but its not that memorable apart from the cute faces and the songs. Now it would cost a fortune to get that cast in one show.

Not really in to the circle of angst, in real life I have never met a couple who behaves like this.

I like this so much because I like complicated characters who we often have to work out their motivation, because in life people have various reason for what they do.
Its one I rewatch parts of and out the whole DEI message I think the idea of people being neuro divergent and seeing things in a black and white obsessive way perhaps is the most important, because its often a masked disability.
It has it's faults, the end is a bit melodramatic but as a whole it gives you a feel for a place, age and time, when we thought if you just worked hard you would achieve your dream.
The OST is one of the best ever.

Not good for me, I had worked who done it early on and I found the FL an obnoxious idiot and my husband did as well. Not a clever enough plot.

This is one of the few drama that stands the time, each character is someone you could meet in real life.

This could have been so much better if it was less eps, there was a lot of naval gazing and filler.
I find Shin Sae Kyeong a two expression actress, and one of them is blank.

Pretty at times but so little sense in the content, skipped a lot.
