a love so Beautiful
I loved this kdrama with all my might, and it's my comfort drama it is everything my heart. and i have rewatched too many times to count. the main female like his kim yohan and i like his characther but not like a "i will get on my knees to marry you" kinda like. it's just oh your okay just not my type of dude personaility wise. but kim yohan is pretty hot. then the main female lead is so cute. she is kinda pick me girl but she still cares for heon and tries everything to get him to like her back. the second male lead the dude with the second lead syndrome he is so cute and adorable he even hurt himself to help sol-i and hurt his shoulder so he can never swim again and when their relationship became better sol-i kept going back to heon. and the thing is heon only started liking shin sol-i after daesung came into the picture and started becoming closer to her. now for the side couple, where do i start THEIR SO CUTE! jung jin is so cute and he can have my heart if i get valentine choclates i would give them all to him. and the girl is giving me so much bi panic i'm not even gonna lie.Was this review helpful to you?
ok pra um primeiro contato com dorama
esquisitinho pq achei a personagem super irritante, a atriz meio velha demais pro papel de estudante e ele meio novo demais pro papel de adulto entao foi difícil acostumar a visao pra nao parecer um dorama q tem uma mulher adulta com roupinha de escola se humilhando igual uma maluca correndo atras de um adolescentea história eh ate boazinha, dependendo da pra prender sem dropar, a ost eh a melhor coisa do dorama, yohan um fofo meio bonecao de posto mas acostumei, a querida eh simpatica tambem e o casal secundário superior ao principal amei nota 0

Disappointing watch
My judgement of this show is based purely on the Korean version, as I did not watch the original. (I might do to see if its any better)Disclaimer: This review contains spoilers
(I totally forgot the names of the characters)
In the beginning (first few episodes) I kind of enjoyed the show. Usually I am a fan of fluffy slow burn romance. However this was just too immature and slow for me. There are just many things that bothered me with this show.
First of all the main characters. Both of them are very childish and do not develop much throughout the story.
I really dislike the tsundere nature of the male lead. Sometimes this personality trait can go well but in his case it was just very off putting. Instead of teasing the female lead he just behaved very rude as if he did not like her at all. The after end credits made me sympathize with him a bit more but overall he was just very unlikeable.
The same goes for the female lead. I found her quite insufferable because of her immaturity. It seems as if she has not aged at all even after the countless time skips.
Which brings me to my next point: the time skips! Eventually they just got on my nerves. They just made the story unnecessarily confusing and were used way too often. This made me really dislike the pacing.
Another aspect I did not like were the side characters.
Firstly I hate love triangles so I did not appreciate the fact that there were two male leads. If I am being honest I liked the second male lead a lot better. He was always there for the female lead whenever she needed him and overall just treated her a lot better. Even though she made her intentions clear (liking first male lead) he did not give up and treated her the same. (I was really rooting for him)
Secondly the side characters just had horrible development even worse than the main characters. The relationship between female leads friends felt so forced. At times it felt like the friend did not even like her boyfriend. The fact that they were still together after college and even married was so surprising. While they were dating in highschool she tried to have an inappropriate teacher-student with the school nurse and that whole situation was brushed off so fast. I truly hated their relationship and think it is one of the worst ones I have ever seen in a K-Drama.
Overall the show was just not for me. I simply dislike shows where adult characters have one small kiss at the end of the show and act all shy and embarrassed when the accidentally touch each other. I really had to force myself to keep watching it in hopes that it would get better. (It did not)

Disappointing
Started great and had two handsome male leads. Loved the development of the plot but, in my opinion, the script took a nosedive a few episodes from the end. I have found that many of the dramas I watch start as if written by an expert but finished by an amateur. I kept going hoping it would improve but couldn't face episodes 22-24. Since the Chinese version is highly recommended I'll check it out. The most upsetting thing for me is not to be able to give 5 stars and the actors deserved that.Was this review helpful to you?
It about a girl who falls in love with her neighbor that she known since they were kids. There are starting HS and she tell him she likes him and he responds I don't like you, and she's says that's OK I'll find away. This is there journey from puberty to adulthood a spand of 10-12 yrs.
They go thru many stages of her being clumsy, annoying, friendship, funny, sad/crying, happy, jeousle and most of all Love. They have a small group of 5-7 true friends they all go on this journey together from HS to college to Master each one finding out who they were and what they want in life and career. At some point they had to separate to different roads but they were lonely until they found each other again and life went on ????

ORIGINAL (C version) is gem :)
Someone who has not seen the Cdrama version may like it but as for me ...the story is quite rushed . You don't get the essence, the feel of the moment...comparatively if you see the Cdrama version you will understand what I meant..I watched it because I didn't have anything to watch but if I have to choose between this and Cdrama version,I will anytime choose The ORIGINAL A LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL..That one is perfect the longing, the urge the chemistry is perfect , the Second lead syndrome is to the point but here I didn't feel any of these ..the chemistryis blank, the SLS Is nowhere to be seen . You may like the characters individually but as a whole something is missing. It is partially because of lesser number of episodes as well and even the cast..I feel the casting could be better..The female leads's acting is not the issue..the problem is she doesn't fit the role she looks way too older than ML and is not at all cute ( it looks as if she is trying to be cute and innocent) she is not childish ..something seems off..The male lead is not cold and distant in this one as he is trying to be he is on the cuter side..I do like cuter guys but if the ML is supposed to be cold and distant then show it properly why do that half heartedly ..It just doesn't go with the plot ....ANYWAY, TO SUM IT UP: - IF YOU WANT TO WATCH IT SURE GIVE IT A TRY BUT IF YOU WANT REAL FEEL OF THE STORY GO FOR THE CHINESE VERSION :)

I'll always have a soft spot for this drama
First, you have to take this drama for what it is. Really light and happy.I've watched the Chinese one and I loved it for personal reasons, but the story made me so happy. The way it was made left me with hope and it gave me the strength to do something in my life I didn't have the courage to do and that choice made me happy. So maybe I like it "too much" for personal reasons.
So, the Korean remake.
Okay , its moving a little too fast compared to the original one. Many things are not explained and sometimes I've the feeling its like scene after scene trying to be as similar as possibile, so I don't know how they'll manage the other 20 episodes. Maybe things will slow down eventually.
Cast
SHE IS A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. I love her smile so much, so much! I think they're good for their roles. I mean, I know both actors and I didn't think I could forget about the age difference but her cuteness makes me not think about it.
I think, unless they really mess up) I cannot put a rating lower than 8.5 because the story is really meaningful FOR ME AND FOR MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.
I like them both a lot. My review can change tho

It's QUITE different... but it is GREAT!
I've watched the Chinese version a couple of times already and I guess we'll all agree that it was a great show. It is one of my 'Go-to series' when I'm bored. At first I thought this version was too speedy, and I didn't like that idea. Well... you'll notice that the main characters already have a crush on each one (ahehehehe sorry). BUT... if you'll watch the available episodes (in my case there are only 4 so far) you'll really appreciate how different it is from the original version. This version is lighter, the setting is brighter (ofc it's new), and the characters are very bubbly and cute. It has scenes that are similar and scenes that make it unique. If you like light dramas, this one is for you ^-^. Can't wait to finish the whole show!!!Was this review helpful to you?

I didn't like the final couple
I think it would be better if sol-i stayed with daesung... heon is a bitter guy who mistreated her a lot and only gave her a chance to compete with daesung. however, it's really cool to watch and the characters are cute. hayoung and jinhwan is the best couple. I really liked the final scenes which show the characters out of action. the actors are really wonderful and seem to enjoy what they are doing. ﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠWas this review helpful to you?
Cute and Wholesome!!
This was my first K-drama and it did not disappoint! It had a very fun and upbeat tone and it’s super easy to watch. The characters are likable and the story is easy to follow. The OST for this show is also very cute and fitting. This show is great for watching when you just want to watch something cute, wholesome, and easygoing!Was this review helpful to you?

A must watch and a re-watch. A light hearted room com
It was a really nice ligh hearted drama you will just be smiling with the characters. The acting was really nice but I guess the story got messed up in the middle like the sudden break up and all. I mean they showed the reason but I still did not understand why would you break up like that.There getting together was abrupt too like just to end as the episodes were spreading. The ending was good and warm hearted but it was not satisfactory enough like I wanted to see some more cute moments.
But I guess I will watch this drama again and again.
One thing I must say was that the OST is really nice I will be listening to every song in this drama. It is a remake of a really popular C-drama and I haven't watched that one so I don't know how good the remake is.
It is a light-hearted romcom that would just make you smile as you flow with the story. The starting was nice but I guess it would've been better if they stayed together instead of breaking up cause I believe that messed up the story.
Final review, must watch and re-watch

a failed remake imo
i dont watch korean series drama , i prefer cdrama only for now n the main reason i start watch drama series ( i used to hate series drama that i think only for girl ) is because ALSB ! so i finally watch my first kdrama series just because its a remake of ALSB ,, n its turn out to be a big dissapoinment for mefirst -they remove some scene from the orginal cdrama which i think its normal ,the remake more interesting if they add new scene , but the point are they remove some really important scenes , like the scene in eps 23 where the 3 of the ML n his two friends are drunk n there the ML finally can speak all his heart out ,in cdrama original series that scene really touching me much ,i am so deeply feel the pain of the ML for missing her for 3 years , and some other scenes too are gone from this remake
second -i think they miscast the FL n ML , the FL (sorry) is really far from cute n her act so average make me not enjoying at all , the ML is not cold like he need to be, he smile a lot n its become annoying , he doesnt look like a smart student at all n more look like an i di ot imo , he good looking but he failed to become the ML that need to be a cold n hard to get close by in school n life , in short they act are really bad ,wahat annoy me most is the FL is not suitable for the role
what i like are jo jye joo ,,,shes so damn pretty ,i like watch her more than FL and also the songs are really good
When the first time i watch ALSB , the FL make fall in love with her role , make me envy the ML n yes i bcome a real fan of Shen Yue , i always watch all her cdrama series , she is the one who make me fall in love with cdramas , in this drama i dont feel that at all because of the terrible act,deleting some important scene or cut one, the cuteness couple in ALSB is definitely gone in this remake
