Just a drama filled with all the cliched romantic scenes we have been watching for years
I am a Wooseok enjoyer so I decided on giving the series a try. As a fan of Wooseok, I am really happy he got his limelight through this show. But other than that there is nothing new or unique about this drama. Maybe the romance works well for new kdrama watcher. I am just so tired watching the show. The writers really didn't care to explore any other characters in this show. Except ml and fl, every other character are just there as a decorative purpose. The writers were hyper focused on fl saving the ml that they didn't even care about any character development in any of the characters in the story. Just bad writing and cringey fl doing random things leading her in trouble always. Don't know what's the hype abt this drama. Anyway Wooseok lets grab those awards for this year because he really was born to do this role and he played his part really well as always. Could have given better story for the sml, but unfortunately he is also just there to make the ml jealous and for decorative purpose.Also, The fl's disability got forgotten and after few episodes it felt like she/the writers just ignored it. The writers should have made fl taking time and relive her past like Twinkling Watermelon show. The story and the characters were so shallow which is the main drawback imo. The show had two great lead actors (BWS and KHY) with good side actors but never fully used their potential.
Positive things
1. The comic timing and lil expression variations of BWS and KHY were so good.
2. The chemistry of the leads.
3. The first 5 episodes were really good.
4. Music/OST

Oh I thought I would get something like 18 again but disappointed!
It started off well but then the story frustrated me so much that I watched it by fast forwarding a lot of scenes. Not so good of a story. Only cast I loved is the nephew Chan and the maid character. He was such a cutiepie and the maid had her own story line which was way more interesting than the main leads'. I am so done with kdramas forcing the childhood or high school connection into every story I watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Light hearted and not too much stress
I have watched this drama two times. I am writing this review after my second watch. I like college based korean dramas than high school kdramas. There's not much college based though. This series is light hearted and you don't have to spend too much energy watching it. Three couples- One who already were a couple when the story started, One friends to lovers and the third one who eventually fall in love. I really loved the main couple's love story where they didn't rush anything adn we would actually root for them to be together. The development of their love was enjoyable. The annoying female character in between the two campus couple was overdone in my opinion. The thing which could have sorted out easily by just talking was dragged till last episode. Loved the third couple's gradual love development. Acting was okay and the music was fine. I rewatched it because of I came across youtube shorts related to the series and I wanted to watch it again. I gave overall 6/10 because the story dealt with crucial problems every college students face and its not overdone or exaggerated. The story was fine and I am glad they ended it in 12 episodes. On a weekend when you want to watch light hearted and sweet series, I would recommend this show.Was this review helpful to you?

Got disgusted after few episodes
The initial 10 episodes were so good and I watched the series and i really was disgusted by LX's creepiness even during their school days. Sometimes it felt like he was sexualising LJJ too much when she was purely considering him as brother/sibling. And was i wrong? he really had romantic feelings when the writers showed us the not blood related siblings at first and punched on our face with LX's character trying steal a kiss from LJJ. I dropped the series after they started showing the love triangle plot and LX forcing her to have a romantic relationship with him. Other than this disgusting plot line, I really loved the Dads dynamic, fl's friendship wth the girls. I also wanted to convey that how the brothers expected LJJ to be the same after ghosting her for years and suddenly she must go back to her old life and old self and treat them nicely. Overall the plot was good initially and I would have given 8 if they avoided the romantic plot among the siblings. The other brother plot was also good I watched only the last episode to know if he finally got to live with his mother or not.Was this review helpful to you?
