I recently created a private list on MyDramalist for dramas and movies I want to watch with my future children (if God ever brings such a blessing to my life), and after finishing this charming little series, I definitely have to add it.

This is a short-length drama about friendship and young love and finding your courage. It's hopeful and eager and earnest, both in its characters and subject matters. You'll definitely like everyone, and the way the plotlines play out on screen is very thoughtful and realistic. These are characters I would want my future kids to see, as they are a great example of how to handle conflict and disappointment while still being very much young and working through their emotions. The story also touches on some deeper themes such as bullying and self-isolation without being too dark or depressing. There's obviously a place and time for more gritty stories around these subject matters, but I'm glad this was something more lighthearted and youthful with very hopeful messages. And as a nice little touch, the opening sequence changes periodically showcasing all of our high schoolers in various locations at school with little nods to events that have transpired in the story. It was almost its own bit of storytelling, and I looked forward to each change.

If you enjoy youthful stories with lots of heart and not too much drama, I recommend this one, for teens and adults. It will warm your heart.
