A soft exploration of feelings, how they form, and why.

It isn't perfect, but it's sweet and the characters have a lot of charm. Yoon Ah steadily unravels the feelings of her classmates and inevitably comes face to face with the complicated question of how she herself feels - about their confessions, about them as people, and about liking someone in general. Overall, this is a story that lets its characters (and audience by proxy) know that it's okay to not have your feelings figured out and to want to just explore what it's like, slow and steady, without getting in too far over your head with promises you might not be able to keep.

The acting is convincing, but the low budget doesn't do them many favors. The sound quality isn't great - at points, it sounds like certain actors were speaking from across the room without a mic - though at least it isn't as distracting as the editing. Episode 3 was where it started to become a bit confusing for me. Flashbacks happen in the middle of conversations and sometimes it's hard to immediately discern the difference between past and present because they cut so seamlessly, especially when the characters are in the same position for both scenarios. It isn't impossible to understand the story being told, but it did throw me for a loop when the back and forth became more constant.

Regardless of those nitpicks, this miniseries is worth the watch.
