This drama had the potential to be fully cute with the story of their childhood friendship & the complete adoration the ML has for the FL. There’s the typical misunderstanding that they had to resolve & the journey they had to take to become friends again before lovers. Then there’s the stuff they face as a couple, testing their bond. And for the most part, I enjoyed their relationship. They were very affectionate, had an obvious bond, and shared yummy kisses.

Generally I don’t like to really focus on the things I didn’t like about a drama because I don’t want to take away from the hard work everyone put into making it. But there are some things with this one that really, truly annoyed me & significantly impacted my enjoyment/rating:

1) I couldn’t relate to the FL. The way she completely cut the ML out of her life was brutal. They’d grown up together & were super close, but after ONE situation where she gets mega embarrassed & feels betrayed, she doesn’t allow him a chance to explain what happened. She just transfers schools & leaves him behind. THEN when she later finds out that he created an online identity to stay in her life & HELP HER, she again lashes out at him, blames him, & counts it as another betrayal. Like girl - what’s so special about you that only your feelings & opinions matter?? Why doesn’t she ever stop to think about how all this is affecting him? Her victim mentality just really bothered me.

2a) The FL’s continued friendship with the male love rival. IMO, it’s not okay to remain close friends with him after he’s made his interest very clear, to both her & the ML. His constant interference in their healthy relationship is NOT what a true friend would do. [[**Note that I said “healthy”. If he’d been trying to get the FL out of an abusive or volatile relationship, that is a completely different scenario!!**]] Whyyyy did she allow him to stick around her, even being okay with traveling abroad with him (though for different reasons)?? It’s like telling the ML that he doesn’t matter enough for her to distance herself from other guys who are intent on stealing her away. Boundaries, girl - boundaries!!

2b) And also, this dude is soooo obnoxious, obsessive, & toxic, imho. He drove me nuts with his refusal to accept the Leads’ relationship & move the heck on. He legit saw them making out in the airport & said it was just a goodbye between friends. 😳😱🤯 Hello, dude, thy name is delusional! There were scenes where I thought he was finally gonna accept reality but nope, he clung to his foolishness until the end. Ugh!

Honestly, the ML character saved this show from being a total waste for me. I would’ve added it to my DNF pile if not for him. If he hadn’t been such a cute green flag who brought out a likable side of the FL, I would’ve rated this even lower. But, as friends & lovers, they’re really cute together. They’re a very solid couple who just need to cut out toxic people.
