8.0/10 - Awesome.

This drama has turned out to be so much fun and I just love the characters. I'm finding as I become a more seasoned Drama fan that the dramas that are more substantial flesh out their characters. Both ML, side characters, and relationships that all of those characters have too. How they connect to each others' lives and so on. True Beauty is doing such a great job with that.

I mean this drama already has such an adorable couple! Choi Soo Ah and Yoo Tae Hoon are such an adorable character. I just love them. But I love the friendships they have with the Leads. Yoo Tae Hoon giving advice to Lee Soo Ho! It's adorable how upset Yoo Tae Hoon is at Lee Soo Ho. He's so angry that his best buddy didn't make the moves and is now gonna suffer. Kang Soo Jin is clearly an amazing person. She loves her friends and her care for Lim Joo Kyung is so sweet. Which is gonna make things so heartbreaking when she cracks under the pressure. It's coming. She's only human.

I just love all the characters and how they're interacting. Not to mention everyone's romances. Lim Joo Kyung's siblings are having their own romances, though they're in the slumps right now. It's almost painful to watch the brother, Lim Joo Young, romance. To me his crush has it wrong. Lim Joo Young isn't boring. He's self absorbed. I love that the sister, Lim Hee Kyung, has been in the more manly role with her relationship with teacher dearest. Though she did go to far when she was trying to stake her claim.

Overall this episode was another fabulous entry into what is a very solid show. The character development and growth is so amazing! I'm in heaven!~!!! Lim Jae Pil is such a weird papa. It's interesting seeing Joo Kyung's parents favorite children. Parents have favorites. Jae Pil sees the struggles of his daughter and sympathizes with her more. While mommy dearest spoils her good looking children. I'm so proud of Joo Kyung for going out and saving for her dream. It made me so happy for her to realize what she wanted to do, and to go for it. Never thinking to burden her parents, or to even take Soo Ho up on his offer to simply give her the money. Ahhhh. Though I am super annoyed with papa Lim Jae Pil. That man ruined what could have been another awesome kiss.

Can I address how bad I have second lead syndrome here? Poor Han Seo Joon. The problem is that no matter how much I feel for him and his plight. Lee Soo Ho is that rare first lead. He's not a jerk, he's not cold, and instead he is sweet and has so much depth to him. Even papa Lim Jae Pil tells him that hes "actually really sweet". So it makes it even more brutal for Han Seo Joon because I am very much behind Lee Soo Ho. Wow. I hope that the story will let Han Seo Joon and Kang Soo Jin develop into something. I think they have something there. Or at least could if things were to go that way. I hope they do.

Anywho. I am so enamored by this drama!

Not sure I want to watch

I saw the preview for Episode 9 and it showed them breaking up, so I can't bring myself to watch it since I'm sure it'll be a dumb reason for breaking up. Where are all the good romance dramas in 2021?
