The series does deal with serious topics like homophobia and suicide, which it might be triggering since is really explicit. There's some aspects of that that I did not like how it was handled in the last two episodes, but I won't go in detail about that since it would spoil it. Also just being nitpicky there were a couple of episodes in the middle that felt more like fillers so it gets boring, but overall is a great series with a magnificent team.

But the main reason this series truly shines is the story and the characters. The characters that are meant for the audience to fall for are so easy to fall for, while the villains just as they're meant to be make audiences hate them. This is all thanks to the actors that brought them to life, not one was lacking. While the story is very unique it really could've easily become boring half way through the show, but it doesn't. The writers knew how to progress the story and without it from feeling like it dragged out.
I do feel there was a couple of side plots not needed in the story and a couple of characters that didn't have any purpose so there was no point of them even existing. That aside the series was just close to perfection. Also when it comes to acting this probably one of the best acted korean dramas I've seen. The two leas especially were incredible. In conclusion if you want to check out a drama with a more unique story, with no unnecessary love triangles and that causes you as much laughter as it does tears this one is for you.

Still it is the leads who really make this show shine, both are so good in their roles. Even with the lack of experience acting they did great. This lack of experience you could tell in scenes that required more emotion, bit that's just being nitpicky since there was not an explicit scene where you could say there was bad acting involved.
The one thing that did bother me were the last couple of episodes, it really felt like the series was 2 episodes too long. The last 3 episodes compared to earlier episodes weren't as good, and the last episode also felt a bit dissapointing. Overall this was such a fun and cute story to watch that I really would reccomend to anyone. With the popularity of the show it wouldn't surprise me that fans will wish for a second season, but the reality is most times the sequel to a really excellent series is as good. Instead it wishing a second season I would just wish to see both actors get even more acting projects in the future.

What makes this movie but also is one of the worst things about this movie is the ending. It's just rushed, and on a first watch it doesn't feel that way but once you rewatch the film you realize it really is a rushed ending. But aside from that is an excellent film and one of Bong Joon-ho's best works.
