i loved it but you may not

this kdrama has remained a comfort show of mine for a while and i love it with my whole heart. however if you have watched a lot of kdramas before, you probably wont find this that special and i agree that it can seem majorly overrated to some. the demographic for this show is definitely young people and teenagers so keep that in mind (not that older people cant enjoy this ofc)

Firstly, the plot was not bad imo but kind of messy looking back on it. For example, I feel like the whole clinic thing with the ML's brother was too much and they could've presented her unrequited love in a much simpler and less time consuming way because it took up a large part of the plot, becoming an obstacle later. I wish they would've added more depth to the idea of them being athletes and have the plot be more focused on uni. But just because the story was objectively a bit 'bad' doesnt make it any less enjoyable for me on the whole apart from deducting points from rewatch value

Secondly, the romance was super sweet, cheesy and comforting hence having great rewatch value and being a comfort show of mine. Im sure it isnt for everyone but it is for me! so if that sounds like something you'd like, give it a go. also the ML was such a good character, i love him.

So do i recommend wfkbj? probably yes. But if you are older, have tons of kdramas under your belt or prefer a very well written plot, dont be surprised if you dont get the hype.
