3. Why I liked it
4. Why I didn't
5. Other Comments.
LeoFiat:
O.M.G Where do I even start. They were a so-so couple. They had great communication skills which I liked, but I didn't like how overly possessive Leo was like it's ok to be possessive but he was too much. Fiat, listen bud, I hated you in TT2, but I see where you're coming from, so much damn trauma.
Some of the things Leo said in the last ep were a bit weird, I was like "What did he say?". I feel they were a bit toxic at times though, but still cute at other times. I didn't like how Leo kissed the girl and then had the audacity to get mad at Fiat. I feel like Fiat didn't get much attention and comfort when he was going through everything with his mom. So I feel like the shit with them could've been better, the communication was key though. They talked most things through like a healthy couple should.
LeonPob: Maybe it's just me and being a sidecouple hoe but I love them. I feel the story was a little cliche though, but nothing wrong with that. It's the usual soft boy meets the bad boy story, and the bad boy who's known for sleeping around with people and never settles down but when he means the soft boy he changes. I feel their communication was pretty solid. I loved the ending tbh, a lot of people were confused and upset with it, but to me it makes a lot of sense. "Right person, wrong time" that's the perfect way to describe them. They love each other but sometimes there are more important things that you have to first before you continue in a relationship. I loved their acting and the emotions they showed in each one o their scenes.
Why I liked it: Pretty good idea, nice communication, great actors. (I totally didn't keep watching because everyone was fine as hell). Really good girl characters (except the stalker girl, f u), they were very supportive. Really nice music.
Why I didn't like: TOO MUCH TRAUMA, It was like every episode we were getting some new drama that Fiat went through, it's ok to have some but like omg, so much. Some of the parts in the show felt like random fillers. Like long stares and slow mode parts. Another thing I didn't like was Leo's overpossesivness.
Other Comments: Mane needs to stops with all the traumatic stories and the rape shit, bc it's becoming too much. It's fine to write them but if you don't know how to develop it into the story and make it make sense then don't keep doing it. She'll but all this rape in her story but the characters who are the rapist never get in trouble, no consequences.
SOOOOOO, basically, it's meh. I kind of liked it and I kind of didn't.

Sam stop being mad
Okay, so I'm just going to go over some things I did like in the show and things I didn't.Things I liked:
The effort to make a gl (wlw relationships don't get much representation)
The communication between Mon and Sam at times
A lot of the moments they had were very cute
The subtle change in Sam's attitude at work (that could've just been because of Mon)
Tee and Yuki
Things I didn't like:
Sam's attitude towards Mon a lot of the time: 2 examples are in the 8th episode where she basically slut shamed her (if I were Mon I wouldn't have gone back to her) and in episode 10 where Mon rejected Sam's proposal and then Sam got mad (like ick).
The involvement of Sam's/Mon's friends in their sex life, like it's none of your business if they have sex or not and you shouldn't be trying to force them to do anything.
Kirk, is such a dick, proposing to someone at someone else's wedding, like really dude.
How naive and "stupid" they made Mon
And how annoying Sam is, getting mad at literally nothing.
I appreciate the attempt and the try at giving wlw relationships representation, but there are things that need improvement

Could've been better
This crap was so messy. The story had potential and they ruined it in the last 2 - 3 eps. Like Ton, why the fuck?! What was the fucking reason? Ok so Imma give my reasons and explanations on why I gave everything wut I gave it//Story//
As I said, the story was fine. It was kind of cliche but wutever, I'm a hopeless romantic and lonely bitch. Gmm just ruined it so bad in the 9th and 10th ep. How does Ton love Chon if he'll cheat just to prove a point? Boy, you got a mouth right?
Also, the homophobia was just *NO*. Like you can add it, bc there are situations where it's "used correctly" (I do not in any way, shape, or form support homophobia) but why use it for comedy!? Fucking crazy. Also, stop with the shitty stereotypes, just bc he's feminine doesn't mean he's gay and just bc he's masculine doesn't mean he can't be gay. That's why I gave it a 4.0, it was good but they didn't execute it well.
//Cast/Acting//
I fucking love the cast, Mike, Top, Khaotung, Gunsmile, and most of the rest. But damn, the acting was so-so. what do you expect with such a bad script and execution of the story? They did their best with wut they were given. The cast saved it.
//Music//
Idk why but I found myself singing the intro all day. Literally the only part I liked.
//ReWV//
I'm not watching this again. Never. I'm gonna try to forget it was ever made. I will be telling my friends not to watch it.
A few more things.
There were cute moments, that's no lie. Unfortunately, I found myself skipping a lot of the end just to get it over with. You know it's pretty bad when I write a review and skip. This is also the first review I've written, I was too lazy to sign in and type, but I felt it was necessary.n Yea that's wut I thought. Gmm give these boys a better show. And dude give Na some happiness.

New and Refreshing
I don't watch many straight shows or cdrama/kdramas very often because of length and slow burns being too slow and all that shit but I really enjoyed this show. I thought it was really refreshing although from the outside it might seem like just any otherhigh school romance drama with the loud, bubbly MFL and the cold, smart, quiet MML, this show really has differences that allows it to stand out.
Starting off with the blatant difference with the female lead actually being smart in a subject. Most dramas will make the female lead the stupidest person on the planet but there is no on the low misogyny with her character. She excels in one subject over others, and she is quite emotionally intelligent and aware. Her personality really meshes well with the main male character who is more of the quiet type, but not all at rude or obnoxious. He excels in math but falls short in English and both the characters are able to help one another in their respective subjects, not only that but they're so communicative. When there's an issue they talk about it. There is jealousy, because that is a natural human response to something, but they don't drag it on, they don't make it a whole big issue. And I just love how Zai Zai is allowed to stand up for herself, she doesn't need Rang to save her.
I think this dynamic is 100x better than any other when it comes to school dramas. I really enjoyed the development of their feelings, even if Zai Zai liked him from the beginning, the way she begins to further understand her emotions was portrayed very nicely.
Even after getting together, they show a lot of their relationship afterwards, even after marriage, speaking on taboo topics such as: workplace harassment and even pregnancy afterwards.
All of this and i haven't even gotten to the side couple and the relationships as a whole.
Side couple: i think just like the main couple progression of their relationship is really cute. They have a silly, bickering couple dynamic and I absolutely feel in love with it. The second male lead is actually my favorite, his reactions to the side girl and the way he realizes he likes her is just my favorite, waiting for her, willing to keep his feelings a secret from her to remain friends, kill me omfg.
Now, onto the friend group entirely. This is just such a refreshing friend group. They are so supportive of one another, not just the girls to each other but also the boys. The other male character has an amazing relationship with his grandmother, and I love it. This show doesn't dive extremely deep into the complexities of being a high school student, but it doesn't shy away completely to issues.
Overall, this show is fucking amazing, love it omg.
