THE college romance drama

Such an incredible college rom-com! Adorable chemistry, strong friendships, and realistic portrayal of the importance of career in a university setting.

Bok Joo is such a refreshing K-drama FL. She's unashamed to be herself and when she's with her friends, I'm always in tears from laughter. I love that she's taking on the career path that most dramas would shy away from because it doesn't fit the beauty standards. She's a little whiny but honestly it fits her character so it's not too cringy to me.

The defining feature of this drama is the insane chemistry between the leads. It's not surprising to hear that the actors dated in-real life. When Joon Hyeong fell for Bok Joo, he fell hard. It was delightful to literally see the moment he started to see Bok Hoo in a romantic light. His gaze towards her is crazy. The childhood friends-to-lover trope is done well.

It is a light-hearted tale of friendship, innocent love, and sports. Definitely has SWAG.
