just what I needed

I never wrote a review before, but this one really convinced me to do it. I obviously watched the movie this is inspired to, but the experience was a whole different thing.
The acting was so nice, the intensity of the emotions kept me hooked the whole time. I cried, I laughed and I squealed. It was so refreshing to see high schoolers from this perspective. I am too old to enjoy teen dramas without feeling nostalgic and looking at them almost as if they were my kids. So this POV was exactly as I expected it, it put things in perspective.

Something that really stood up for me was that for once they really let us have a drama-free drama. Don't get me wrong, the story itself and the emotions of the characters are enough to give you cry material for days, but every time the show hinted at a catastrophe it turned out to be actually something good (except for one particular moment that got resolved quickly). It kept me on the lookout for some big drama, some fighting scenes, and some scary moments... you know as usual we get those weird episodes where things get super bad before being good again at the end.
NOT THIS TIME, the plot was consistent, they kept it straight...the struggle and the pain the main character was feeling was already enough.
There were a few moments when my heart really broke for him... the parents' meetings. When the young Go Woo Young met both his father and then his mother in law... those scenes were so full of untold things and it was very touching.

I have no way of expressing how much I enjoyed Lee Do Hyun acting. His sweet smile, his intense eyes and his very touching crying scenes. A whole package. All actors and actresses were very enjoyable to me, the right amount of cheesy too, but it was in the nature of this story anyway.

Another mention is Wi Ha Joon, he played such a cool character, as always we all feel bad for the second lead but he was so graceful about it, and such a good man too. Loved this character.

No need to speak about Kim Ha Neul, she is a queen she was awesome ♥

To me this was a 10/10 mostly because even if the story may seem weird and cheesy, it really has some very deep moments that make you question your own choices and thoughts. It gave me happy tears and tbh now and then we simply need a drama like this.
100% would recommend and would totally watch it again
