An enjoyable drama to watch!
Alright, since I watched this drama religiously for Younghoon, Jihoon and Dayoung, I'm going to make a short but in-depth review for each rating (story, characters, etc) because I enjoyed this story and the OSTs quite a lot and am really expecting a season 2 after a cliff-hanger type of ending! It's a big recommendation!
Story: the story itself was something expected from a webtoon-based drama, a group of high schoolers, at least 1-2 couples within that group, the drama, the unrequited love, etc. It really portrayed the timeline of Gongjoo and Wangja's relationship very well, and showed lots about each character's personality as well! There really isn't anything surprising to the plot as it's a typical high school romance kdrama, but I personally never get tired of these dramas and the drama portraying many different scenarios from dramatic to comedy scenes makes it enjoyable to watch.
Acting/Characters: All the characters have such amazing chemistry on the set! I was really surprised by how well Younghoon, Jihoon and Dayoung acted in this drama! I've stanned all of them for so long and they really pulled off their characters well! Daeun and Ruby, and the rest of the friends also had such good acting skills and the characters they had really match them well. As for the characters, it really disappointed me how Kyeongwoo and Minji did not have a relationship, but I have hopes that a 2nd season will portray that! The character development of Jarim was great, and it made me smile how Gongjoo felt happy when she finally grew into a person to show her feelings. Give Jinhui, Byunghoon and Kyungmin someone!! Also, I hope Minji becomes more honest with her feelings when (if) season 2 comes out because I feel kinda bad for Sanghoon. Ah Ram and Jisoo are also sooo funny.
Overall: The OST by ONF, Not a Sad Song, is such a good song, and it's so refreshing. I really enjoyed this drama as a whole and the characters being portrayed by my fave idols just makes me love it even more. Again, the chemistry is just there with all the characters. I hope that it will be like A-Teen almost, where season one focuses on one pairing, then season 2 will focus on another pairing within the friend group because I can't let Kyeongwoo and Minji go like that. We need them to be the end game for a potential season 2. It also wouldn't make sense if there was no season 2 for a drama like this and for that kind of ending, with an introduction to a new character and the photos of the cast with Minji and Kyeongwoo looking in the same direction. Let's hope for a season 2 !!!
