Fun but not deep
This was a cute show and I did have fun watching it, but it is really too rushed to be a huge success. The episodes are 15 minutes (I think) but have a full intro song which is super not needed. Other shows that I’ve seen that have the short episodes have done just a quick like, MAYBE 20 second intro so you don’t feel that’s it’s a waste of time, but with such a short episode having 1 min 20 seconds of intro is just disappointing.
Casting for this show was great, I loved all the actors, even the ones who didn’t get as much of a focus. I really enjoyed the characters, even though we didn’t really get much on their backstories or motivations, especially the main couple.
The show just needed to be longer honestly, that would have fixed most of my issues with it. Main couple seemed to fall for each other out of nowhere, especially Lin Xun. Jun Cheng had a few moments of “why is my heart beating so fast” that led up to him confessing his feelings, but Lin Xun I feel like went from not liking him that way in any capacity to suddenly dating him?? It didn’t really click for me.
As for the side couples, I liked them! Jun Dao was pretty toxic at times though, the one scene where he yells at Yang Xiang made me really upset. But the two of them obviously had feelings for each other so after he immediately apologized I was hesitantly back on board. Also YANG XIANG being actually bisexual???? We love to see it and we especially love it when the character explicitly says it. That made me really happy. Jun Ping was also a sweetheart, the first scene of him and Yan Yue was very cute and we could already see that they liked each other.
However, the female character in this show was trash. She literally sexually assaulted Yang Xiang and then tried to put the moves on Jun Ping as well?? This woman is a predator and she should have been left out of the show.
I would love a sequel to this show to expand more on how the characters adjust to being in definitive relationships. Does Jun Cheng go back to Korea? If he does, does Lin Xun go with him? His character says he wants to finish college on time, so do they go long distance instead?? I have so many questions!!
