i started this drama because of the webtoon but i ended up really enjoying it all the way through.
without giving away any spoilers, this story is a masterpiece but the producers absolutely massacred the ending. i don't think it was either bad or good, but it was definitely different from the original plot and it left me kind of disappointed and sad at the end.
apart from that, CITT takes this very basic-ass plot base of a poor girl, a rich chaebol son and the bad boy second lead and puts a twist on it with a lot of varying topics. from stalking to dealing with a patriarchic household, the show gave off some really dark vibes at certain moments and i really liked the way the characters interact. a lot of people didn't like yoo jung and how he solved his issues but i think it's one of the key points that made this show so interesting. a lot of people also complained about the chemistry with the main couple - saying that they're awkward - but that is actually supposed to be the main point of their interaction. with the awkwardness, come a lot of hilarious moments and conflicts. apart from the main leads, baek in ho, baek in ha and all the other background characters are really memorable and enjoyable. i also think i'm the rare minority that didn't get second lead syndrome, but i can 100% see the appeal as their relationship was great.
the actors all seem to suit their roles well (kim go-eun was absolutely i c o n i c) and i also really liked hong seol's outfits in every episode. the visuals give off this college aesthetic kind of vibe that i haven't seen in any other k-drama and the interior design was really pretty.
the soundtrack isn't one of the best but there are a few gems (maybe i like you, cheese in the trap, perhaps this is love)
i don't think how it could be compared to the movie version, it's a disgrace to the drama's name and i don't suggest you watch that one.
all in all, i would rec. this drama to anyone who wants a plot that's both fun and endearing and also lowkey chilling at the same time. i also recommend to everyone that isn't satisfied with the ending to check out the webtoon to heal from the trauma :D
