Okay, let's be clear: this is a cheesy romcom. So I will write a review for what it is, and my feelings watching it. I won't write like how others are, where they think too much about it, when it's supposed to be a fun watch!
It's been a while since I saw the first season, but fortunately you can watch this despite that since there's a short recap at the start (which I appreciate very much). There was a lot going on in this season, and I think that that is its main flaw: the story. If I point out every single flaw of this drama, we can keep going on and on about it, but like I said, this is a romantic comedy: it will make you feel like you're having fun and it's supposed to be lighthearted so we have to put the seriousness aside. Now that I've put that aside, I just want to say that the cast is just AMAZING. They fit their roles very well, and I'm so biased I guess because I love Matsujun but aside from that, they were really able to encompass their characters.
The drama has only a few notable songs but of course I gave it a 10 because they're simply ICONIC. Who wouldn't jam to Love So Sweet everytime its played as the OP song?
Anyway, I'm not one who rewatches dramas but like I said, this had its flaws. The messiness of it all would prevent me from rewatching it, but I definitely understand why it won't be for others. This is, after all, a classic dorama cherished and loved by fans all over the world for so many years already.
I kinda also feel nostalgic about it because I was about 9 or 10 years old when I saw the first season, and that's actually the reason why I gave this still a high overall score. Nothing can beat the impact it had culturally as a manga, drama and how iconic its other adaptations are as well. It's nice to see this now that I'm older, it made me feel the rush of innocent feelings of what I perceived love to be as when I was younger, and of course its flaws and what's wrong about them. Makes me feel a little sad honestly, because it's a sign I've gotten older but at the same time I appreciate seeing my own growth because of it. Also Matsujun was literally my first Japanese boyfriend... please let me be aaaa
