It is an OK kinda of youth story in which the main characters transitions from school to college to adults. Nothing out of the ordinary just usual normal day to day scenarios. ML is tsundere type who is annoyed at everything the FL does but secretly loves her. I actually started to watch this show because of this trope I saw in a YouTube clip.

SPOILER AHEAD...

This plot actually runs quite into the second half of the show but what made me drop it was the way the handled the transition of them them being love-hate bickering friends to lovers in a single episode without proper prelude!

Like the FL was still shown to be somewhat in love with the Second Male lead until a moment ago before she decides to go to the First ML. Even that actually looked like she is just choosing to join him for the concert without the implied meaning of choosing him as her Boyfriend or anything... But then all of a sudden she agrees to go on a date with him as she has lost the tickets to the concert which they were supposed to go. And then she is also ready to spend the night with him alone after that in a deserted beach and also wakes up to a steamy kiss, all in that very same day?! How ridiculous!
I mean imagine going to a concert with a friend and waking up next day to a steamy kiss on a beach ?! Where's the story development for which we actually watch the drama for? It all went past like a rocket in a blink of the eye! So unsatisfactory...

I really wanted to see her slow realization that the person who is really perfect for her is the first ML and then their romance to begin but this was totally blahhh... So rushed and totally off putting at least for me... And what was worse was after that there wasn't a hint of bickering, it just became too sappy for a long time and then the usual plot twista of going abroad and all that usual C drama stuff...

Acting wise, even though I found the Male lead really handsome, I think his reactions need to be improved... His confession to the FL and all his lovey dovey actions don't seem believable because of his facial reactions... It's like he's set his face in 'I don't like you' mode but his character has progressed to 'I can't live without you' mode... But I must admit, the kiss scenes were really good! ;D

Another person whose acting was off was the Music teacher. He seemed really miscast imo. Something was really odd about that character...

Well overall, I would rate it 7/10 for its cute 1st half.
