You know how it ends but it's still amazing.
The synopsis gives you most of the details. You go in knowing it's going to be sad. You prepare yourself. But they have little moments where it's funny and you see the growth of the 2 leads. You see the fondness they develop for each other. It makes your heart warm and you forget there's going to be a break in your heart.It's beautifully written. The acting was a 10. What I recommend is you have tissue ready and if you have a significant other, watch it with them. Hugs help.

Great acting + terrible writing
The acting really carried this show. The writing started out good, they led up to the FL being a little off but they never dive into it. The absence of her story left little to doubt. Everyone says how weird she is but they never show any instance outside of her as a child.This could've been a movie or a 6 episode show, too many fillers. They hired great actors and got half of the story written decently.
Maybe my expectations were high because I'm biased (Chae Won Bin). I'd recommend this show if you have time to kill but wouldn't bump it up on your watchlist.

Revenge but she kept her hands clean
I really enjoyed the entire show. The writing definitely could've been better. They explain somethings through flashbacks but context is lacking.Luckily whoever was in casting hit a home run. The acting was a 10. The first half was a slow burn and the second half wasn't much faster. But every single episode the acting was amazing.
I kept thinking to myself where are the police? Why are they only questioning the FL??? Another writing hole.
With how amazing the casting was it could've made the writing look less than. Maybe I'm nitpicking. I still highly recommend if you enjoy a good revenge plot.

FL/ML chemistry is low
This is a common problem with kdramas, they get one Lead right and the other Lead WRONG. They have little chemistry. It's like they're siblings. I tried watching a couple times because the actors are great. The writing is predictable. This could've been a movie not a 16 episode series.I've seen a few good reviews but it's just not for me. In the 3 episodes I've watched it's CLEAR the second male lead would be better suited to be with the FL. But the writers are forcing them to be with someone "closer to their level".
There are so many talented actors/actresses in this show. It's a shame the writers were so bad.

The acting was amazing
I went in with high expectations and enjoyed every episode. The writing was good but not great. The acting from the MAIN characters carried this show and that's ok.It was really great to see the characters develop and grow from start to finish. People have to remember this is a highschool setting. They're going to have flaws, make mistakes and possibly forgive.
The story started out about revenge but if you kept an open mind and paid attention it was a story about love and growth. There are so many types of love and it's displayed beautifully throughout the show.
Only thing I would've changed was the ending but I understand why it ended that way.
