This show was so painful to watch. It could've been cute, and there were a lot of elements that I liked, but GOD. THE ACTING!!! The acting was so annoying that it made me drop the show. I gave up.


~~The Worst Part: the Acting~~

Most characters were incredibly annoying. They yelled, stomped around, flailed their arms, made ridiculous faces.... And I'd be okay with that, if it happened occasionally. But no. They do it ALL. THE. TIME.

Literally. The FL is always pouting and making "funny eyebrow faces". She's gorgeous, but I've never been so annoyed looking at someone's face. She pouts while eating. She pouts while walking. She pouts when she's happy, sad, surprised. Sometimes people are telling her serious and important stuff, and everyone is reacting appropriately, and then it pans to the FL and BOOM. *Funny eyebrow pouty face.* It's RIDICULOUS and so infuriating to watch.

Most side characters are like this too. FL's friends, their coach, ML's best friend... All of them were constantly screaming and flailing and being annoying. It was supposed to be funny, but it was literally just obnoxious. I could not take any of them seriously because they were too over-the-top and cartoonish. It felt like I was watching a show aimed at toddlers ages 4 and below.

The only decently acted characters were the ML and his brother and ex-girlfriend. I didn't care much about any of them (and I actually disliked the ex) but at least they were 3-dimensional characters that acted like real human beings and not Troom-Troom actors who need to exaggerate, yell and overact everything in order to make toddlers laugh.


~~Other Things I Didn't Like~~

- There's a lot of "telling" instead of "showing". I hate how they always say out loud everything that they're feeling or thinking. Instead of conveying their emotions or letting the audience pick up on what they're thinking, the characters will just be alone and then start stating all of their thoughts out loud. It's so unnatural, and also really lazy.

- The characters were sooooo childish. Not just because of the cartoonish, ridiculous acting, but also because of the things they did. They're constantly nagging each other and act like children, when they're literally GROWN ADULTS IN THEIR 20S!!! Examples:

---- FL thinks ML stole her clothes. He could've just said "Oh, someone just ran by, must've been him you were running after, he went that way." and their stupid rivalry would've been over.

---- ML always calling FL "chubby" despite knowing she doesn't like it??

---- ML steals FL's tray in the cafeteria and then they just start screaming as she tries to get her food back???? My guy you're a GROWN MAN.

---- FL is in her 20s and lies about everything in order to impress a guy. Like..... you really think that will work? Are you 10?

---- The FL grabbed the ML's head and sneezed on his face to make him sick?? WTF? Are you a child??


~~Things I Liked~~

- The slow burn. I appreciate when a romance isn't "love at 1st sight". It's much better and realistic.

- The cinematography (but then again, most kdramas look pretty to me, so that ain't saying much)

- As I already mentioned, the ML, his brother and his ex were decently acted (unlike every other character lol). I didn't love their characters though.... :/
