Extraordinary You is so overwhelmingly cute. The best time to watch this is when you’re in need of a serotonin dose. I began watching this because I was missing Rowoon but started to enjoy the FL’s character more. High school dramas can be so cliched but EY does an interesting take on them by parodying the tropes that exist in high school version of dramaland. I loved, loved the self awareness that the characters had in the shadow world and how they were forced to behave on the stage. Dan Oh is such an endearing character with bursts of energy. Her interactions with Haru are the cutest, I also loved the childhood relationship gone bitter/one-sided over the years arc with Baek Kyun. More than the romance, I enjoyed and waiting for the friendship scenes between Dan Oh, Haru and Do Hwa. Do Hwa became such a scene stealer after a point, a character whose observations would leave you laughing.

I didn’t think this drama would be my type, but it was a pleasant surprise. Light hearted, cute romance, bromance, parody level humour and intriguing plot that keeps you wondering what’s next even though it feels like you know it already.
