The best parts of cdrama rom coms without the annoying bits

I don't give out many 10 ratings. Here's what I liked about "明天也想見到你" (I Want To See You Tomorrow Too...better translation of title.)

1) I like 70% of your typical cdrama romantic comedy. This drama has that 70% without the annoying 30%. Sometimes, I even think 24 episode dramas are too long. Unnecessary parts can be taken out and might even make the drama better. This drama does not have unnecessary parts. It is not slow. It doesn't feel too fast paced either. (By unnecessary, I mean things like disapproving parents repeating the same lines every 3rd episode that they are against their child's choice of girl/boyfriend.)
2) Relatively new actors and actresses. For most of the leads, this is their first main role. It brings a certain freshness to the drama that is often times missing with seasoned actors and actresses.
3) Character consistency. Often times, the male lead (and sometimes the female lead) changes so much from the beginning to the end of the drama that it's not believable that it's the same person. There should be character growth and maturation, but not complete personality change. The male lead does indeed grow, and yet he retains his personhood to the end. Everyone changes, sure, but their essence should stay the same.
4) Unexpected relationship pacing. For the sake of not putting spoilers into this review, this drama breaks the typical relationship development pacing...and it's what I prefer.
5) Realistic chemistry. I feel like the interactions between the actors/actresses were more true to life than other dramas. No over-acting, no absurd misunderstandings, "normal" jealousy reactions, and reasonable conclusions/decisions. Basically, it's believable. But then again, I grew up in rather conservative circles, so perhaps I'm more used to reserved relationships.

Anyway, there wasn't anything I disliked about this drama, so it gets a 10. And, I liked it a lot!
