Sweet and simple story

My first time giving a review here.
At first I thought Chenghan would be some kind of bad boy, but he's actually endearing. Might be too talkative if I meet hem in real world, but that's not really a problem, I guess.
Yuwei's also good. I love their banters.
Some people might be disappointed by the lack of skinship in this movie, but personally, the part where they confirmed their feelings with each other was nice and satisfying enough. Sometimes, a hug is better than a kiss.
The acting and dubbing could be awkward at some scenes, and I'm watching with English subtitles, which I'm not sure was 100% accurate because it left me confused at times (like, when did Chenghan actually realized that Yui was Yuwei? At their school, or when he came to Yuwei's house?).
I really love the background places. Especially Yuwei's room, it just looked so comfortable.
Not really sure how I felt about the ending. I just so abrupt and well, I thought at least we'll get a glimpse of their future or something, but no. It's just finished like that.
Overall, nice movie.

Bittersweet Story

First of all, I will say that I absolutely adore Title's acting. I got to know this series through Remember Me, where he also did a great job portraying Name. In one if the extra talk, Man said that Title acts with his eyes, and I think that's true. I just wish he would stop crying (especially in front of computer lol) because it really hurts me to see him cry.

For the story itself, well, I'm glad that they don't really dragged the 4 years of Nut waiting and skipped to 2006 instead. I kinda spoiled myself because I watched the second bed scene where Phob told Nut directly about his cancer before properly watching the series, but I didn't realize that it's the reason he moved to Bangkok. I thought he moved because of other reasons and only got to know about his sickness at the beginning of the series.

The last two episodes are the most bittersweet ones. I just felt regretful for them, like, what if Phob told Nut about his reason of not attending the exam? What if Nut stopped avoiding Phob before he went away? I understand why they did what they did, and I love them for that, because it just showed that they're just humans with flaws, but it just hurt.

Fortunately, they got their happy ending, so I count that as the sweet part.

Also, I have to mention that I really love the singing at phonebooth scene. The lyrics and the situation were just right. And add Nut's performance on the phone, it became perfection.

Overall, I love this series a lot.

Nice school romance with great characters

Binged this series in two days.

I don't watch K-drama a lot, but this is my favourite so far. I love the story, though it's also a bit painful for me.

I was really, really rooting for Daon and Taekyung to be together. I mean, the way they treated each other was so sweet, and Taekyung's confession ("You said that nothing belongs to you, so I want to belong to you") was just so powerful to me.

However, I know from the start that Daon would be a very hard person to be in a relationship with. Someone who's aiming to please everyone would just hurt people they care about in the end.

And with the way the series gave Shinwoo ML treatments (I mean, special bgm when Shinwoo and Taekyung got close to each other?) I just know that Daon wouldn't have a chance.

For more than half the season, I was hopeful that I'll be wrong and Daon-Taekyung would get together (they like each other, what else might happen?), but by the time Daon said to people that he's nice to Taekyung just because Taekyung's a new member, I guess I just gave up. Taekyung deserves someone who's not afraid to declare their feelings to him. Daon was just not the one. I know he had his own reasons, but still.

Shinwoo was a great character too. I love how he knew when to give up and when to fight again. His awkward moments with Taekyung were very cute. This is unrelated, but for some reason he really reminds me of GOT7 Jinyoung.

But no matter what, I think the best character in this series was Namgung. He might not be directly involved with the conflicts in this drama, but the way he tried to light things up, and how he's giving advices (which he got from Mr. Seo) was just nice. I thought he's a bit of jerk at first for not helping Shinwoo, but it was a mistake ony part, because he actually helped, he just used his head more by calling the police. From then, he continued worm his way to be a character I'm fond of.

Some people might hate Sohee for her tenacity and what he did to Daon and Taekyung, but I actually don't think that she's a bad character. Yes, she's obsessed with Daon and what she's done to them wasn't right, but she's learning, trying, and well, who doesn't make a mistake in their life?

As for Mr. Seo, I was so glad that they got a scene dedicated to celebrate his birthday. He cared a lot for his students. With the last scene where he met someone (from his past?), I wonder if we would get second season or maybe a spin-off.

Last one, Taekyung. I wasn't really into him at first, but his honestly did made him interesting, and before I knew it, I got to like him. Like, I'm rooting for him. I literally shed tears when he realized that he liked Daon. And when he's rejected by Daon too.
Thankfully he's okay now.

I usually don't like a love triangle story, especially the one where the MC liked someone, got rejected, and the liking another person in a short period, but this series made it feels natural.

It still pained me that Daon let go of his chance tho. Hopefully, if there's any continuation, he'll get his own happy ending.

The osts are nice. I love them. Especially at the end of ep 14.
