campy highschool love

What's lovable about this series is the female lead. Overall, an endearing story.

Young, innocent, clean, high-school-love, type rom-com. A more simple or mellow series.

I didn't love the attitude of the male lead's character at times. It was hard to want to like him and root for him a lot of the time because he's just plain selfish and emotionally constipated -- and he doesn't really arc that much. Honestly, the guy was boring. I don't remember his character being that way in the comics though. I also felt they over-exaggerated the female lead at times; it got downright silly and was not fair to her character overall.

They really love to make the female leads act stupid in shows like this -- and it's bothersome. The same for the male lead, the over-exaggeration of his "coolness" (insert snort of laughter) just made him seem like an obnoxious snot. Again, campy. It had its moments though. Very tween. Highly rated because it was clean.
