Extraordinary You was one of those dramas that I really wanted to watch the second after watching some of the previews of the episodes. It seemed really fun and I truly liked the story and tbh, it didn’t disappoint at all. I could call it one of my favorite k-dramas ever, not necessarily based on the content but on my enjoyment of it.

What I really liked about it:
1. Dan-oh’s and Haru’s relationship, it was the cutest thing ever. I really ship them so much!!
2. Dan-oh’s character, she’s one of my favorite female leads because her personality is just so great!! She’s written in a very good way and she’s so funny, made the series even better.
3. Haru’s character, he was just such an awesome male lead and he really was a gentleman and truly loved Dan-oh so much. Rowoon did what he had to do.
4. The story, it was so so so interesting and I would love to write a story like that someday tbh.
5. Juda >>>>>>> her development was so good.
6. Dohwa!!!! He really deserved so much better T~T Alongside with Haru and Dan-oh, he was one of my favorite characters and really made the show better.
7. The humor >>>>
8. The Trumpet Creeper thing

On the other hand, the things that I didn’t like:
1. How they wrote Baekyung’s character. I think he really had potential to be a good ‘bad’ boy, a great example of a well-written second lead is Seojun from True Beauty. He has the same vibes as Baekyung but tbh, they just made Baekyung an asshole way too much than it was actually necessary. I truly believe he was never a bad person, he did things wrong and behaved badly in many ways but like the way his character was written makes it impossible to many to sympathize with him and actually make him a good competitor to Haru. Haru was very great and a good guy, he was always there for Dan-oh and really showed his potential but if they had made Baekyung less “I’m a bad boy and I don’t care about you, I insult you because I actually like you but I have trauma so like you’re actually disgusting for being sick but I kinda love you”, it would have been easier to sympathize with him and to actually be a good character, he was complex but just written in a bad way.
2. The ending, what I didn’t like about it was that they left things out. They really did a great job til the very end but they should’ve added more things and actually close off the story in a good way, in a completely finished way but til this day we don’t know what the hell happened with Baekyung, Dohwa, Juda, etc. Maybe it’s self-explanatory that they are in another webtoon ??? but still. It could’ve been better but I still liked it, it was very romantic and cute.

Overall, this drama is amazing for me. I truly enjoyed it, it’s not perfect at all, some things could’ve been better but I had fun watching it and I could rewatch it anytime. It’s lighthearted and it’s perfect if you just want to binge watch a show. It’s really one of my favorites and I’ll always love it!!
