This review may contain spoilers

Both main characters are insufferable, and there is no chemistry between them.

Storyline:

The main plot involves two high school students who are forced to live together and develop feelings for each other.
The beginning is very funny and entertaining, but this doesn't last. After a few episodes, it's clear there is no chemistry between the two main characters.

The story is routine and not special, it's filled with uninteresting side stories. As usual, there's a big contradiction in the main plot. The series is aimed at a young audience, yet one of the side stories about the brother and his wife wanting to get a divorce is complex and more suited for adults. This mix makes the show boring.

Character Critique:

Both characters are extremely annoying and have no value to their surroundings or to each other.

The female character is unbearably annoying, not attractive, petty, selfish, and stupid. She distorts her voice to sound like a child and has no appealing qualities. She behaves grotesquely, which doesn't do her any favors. Even as the plot progresses and they are in a relationship, she still acts like a five-year-old rather than a teenager. This might have been acceptable if it were funny like in the beginning, but at some point, it stops being funny due to her poor acting and other factors. Strangely, she has many attractive suitors, although she is not appealing or beneficial to the other side in any way.
Main Actor:
The main actor is not particularly handsome, but he's portrayed as a beauty prince. He doesn't seem attracted or in love, even when he should be showing some love. His facial expressions are the same in all scenes, regardless of what's happening. This also happens a lot, but due to the lack of chemistry between the characters, it doesn't work.

Music:
There's nothing memorable.

Overall Impression:
a one-time watch, with many skips over especially boring scenes, particularly towards the end. It's unclear why they stretched it to so many episodes; it's completely unnecessary.

A disappointing series.
