Very disappointing
I had really high hopes for this show because of all the hype that was going on around it. I have one more episode left but so far I'm very disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it has some really sweet moments and their chemistry is really good. There are also lots of funny moments and the humor is very good too. The story really had a great potential but I just feel like they had no idea what to do with it.First episode really had me hooked and the plot was portrayed as very unique and deep with FL being disabled and also talking about ML who is a famous celebrity with depression problems. After that the show became very shallow and predictable. I don't even understand why they portrayed them like that, because that was never mentioned again for the rest of the show.
For me it got good again around 8th episode, when they meet as adults, but that lasted only for that one episode and after that it became progressively worse. I was expecting the story to develop around their adult life but she went back in time once again. I don't understand why tho because they showed him being hurt but they never said anything about him dying. At that point I was very tired of all the time travel because it made no sense.
Talking about time travel, I don't understand how was she able to change the fate and prevent her home from burning but wasn't able to save ML, not even once and it happened three times.
The more I watched the more I realised that her only goal was to save ML and nothing else was important. All other characters weren't important at all and they never got the chance to develop. At some point, during her time travel, she found out her mom was in a hospital because she was sick but they never explained what was going on and they never mentioned that again.
Also, in the first half of the series they never really explained how she became disabled and it was obvious we would find out during the show. Then they decided to make the second half all about that and her kidnapper and also her saving ML form the kidnapper. It gave a feeling as if they didn't know what to do with the story so they just decided to put that there.

Overall I really enjoyed watching the show but I think it's a bit overhyped. Actors were amazing, I loved their chemistry and acting was seriously top notch. I also love shows with excellent fashion styles and all of their outfits literally made me droll.
I didn't really like that first 5 episodes were a bit slow (compared to others). There wasn't much going on and later A LOT things happened to the point where it was all a bit too much. Especially last episode. It lasted almost two hours and honestly it was a bit exhausting, at least for me. I mean, hurt Baek Hyun-woo running away from hospital and trying to save Hong Hae-in from Yoon Eung-seong and also Yoon Eung-seong dying. All in one single episode.
I also didn't really like how they portrayed the grandpa as a bit naive, trusting Mo Seul-hee so easily and never suspecting anything. It was also a bit too much how they portrayed Baek Hyun-woo as a very superior character - excellent swimmer that at a very young age even saved a kid (Hong Hae-in's late brother), top student and was in army. We would have loved him anyways 😂
Don't get me wrong, the show is good, it's also very easy to watch and it will definitely keep you interested but I just think that there were way too many things going on.

I don't know why it took me so long to watch this drama but here I am :) I would say it's typical and predictable high school kdrama about a girl who tries to cover her real face under make up. The most handsome and popular guy (ML) in the school falls in love with her even though he knows her secret. Of course, there's love triangle or should I say square? FL's best friend has been in love with ML for ages and then there's ML's ex best friend who is in love with FL.All in all I loved watching this drama and it was very sweet. There were lots of funny moments and their chemistry is really good too.
I think it was completely unnecessary for Han Seo Joon to be in love with FL too. It made me feel really bad for him. He always put her first, even when ML returned from the States he told FL he was going back just so she wouldn't regret it and both of them could make up.
I also didn't like how Kang Soo Jin turned out, with releasing that video and revealing FL's secret.
I just think there were way too many things going on towards the end while the beginning was way slower. That's why last two episodes feel a bit rushed to me.
But all in all I enjoyed watching it and I would say it's a perfect drama to take your mind off things or if you are watching it after something deeper and more complicated.

This show went beyond my expectations. I thought it would be just another high school romance drama but it was so much more than that. I absolutely love how they portrayed their friendship and how they showed us what true friendship looks like. I also loved how they never judged one another and instead they helped each other and grew together.The only reason I gave it an 8 out of 10 is because I expected to see a bit more of their romantic relationship. I also felt like the plot was a bit dragged at times and how she was asked to keep that secret. I think it was completely unfair to her. Last two episodes made me cry so hard and I'm so happy they got their happy ending but I just wish we could've seen a little bit more of that part. For sure I can't be the only one🤣

Overall a very cute romance drama about a girl falling in love with her brother's friend.Although I really loved the show and their romance there are still some flaws. I feel like the beginning, where she was still in school was a bit long. Also there were some cringe moments, like when FL heard that ML has a girlfriend and flew all the way to his hometown at a ver young teenage age. A bit unrealistic.
Their romance really had me giggling all the time but after they got together I feel like it became a little dragged. There was very little story progress after that.
It could definitely be some episodes shorter but still very cute
