Solid show
Although the overall romance is quite typical and normal, I really liked the individual stories for Bok-joo and Junhyung. I understand why this is so many people's comfort show because it's a casual, light-hearted show that has a okay storyline. Now I am not saying the overall storyline is bad in anyway, it may not ba as interesting to people who are looking for staggerimg, story changing plot twists. Overall, if your looking for something to recover your trauma from and bad-ending kdrama, then check this out!Was this review helpful to you?

Wow, just wow
The rollercoaster of emotions are so worth the watch. Although ut was a bit lengthy I was really pleased in the this coming of age k-drama. I had rrally high expectatioks from the start and when I tell you this show ABSOLUTELY DELIVERED.Na Heedo's storyline was interesting and it didn't feel boring at any point, I think only towards the end when she was talking about retiring but I liked how it was only summarized instead of showing us another fight scene. I really enjoyed that throughout the show you can sense her maturity developing over time and many may say that Heedo was very childish at the start but I think it was overall necessary so that we could understand what things made her mature and realise reality.
Going towards Ko Yurim, I LOVED HER STORY SO MUCH. I feel that the parallels that were made between her and Heedo were absolutely fantastic and showed us thr bond that these two shared, even at the start when they were enemies. ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT JIWOONG AMD YURIM BECAUSE THEY WERE SO DAMN CUTE. I loved there light-hearted relationship and OH MY GOSH THE ENDING FOR THEM SPECTACULAR.
Also I also wanted to mention Seungwan's arc because it was small and less detailed yet ut really solidified her place in the friend group and I think she may even be one of my favourite chracters ngl.
Also Heedo and Baek Yijin's relationship was amazing, it had the right amount of events to kepp us interested throughout the show and I really loked that they used the historical event that havppened in the early 2000s to make thus seem more real and immerse us more into the plot. Baek Yijin's arc was so well written, especially his time in New York where we could evidently see him disconnected but can also feel sympathetic to his place in the relationship (I still 100% agree with Heedo's reasoning though don't even).
Overall for those you want a light hearted, melancholic (only towards the end) K-drama I would 100% recommend this and to those who have already watched, Twinkling Watermelon is immaculate and is also set in the 90s. It also has Choi Hyun-Wook (Moon Jwoong) and Seol In-ah from Business Proposal.
