its not bad just make sure you don't take things too seriously :)

For me, finishing kdramas is actually pretty rare so I was shocked that I was able to actually finish this without forcing myself to

Cons:
I think the writers were aiming to create a combination drama where there are many different genres in one drama, sort of like Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. However, it was no where near as well executed but it did have potential. The writers tried to mix comedy, thriller, romance, slice of life and action all in one and frankly it was a poor choice and could have been presented so much better. The plot can be quite unrealistic at times which makes you end up disliking a lot of the characters because of their unrealistic and stupid decisions. I know a lot of people disliked the SML and so did I, but honestly his character was kinda irrelevant to me since he is the SML after all. I honestly don't mind an unlikeable SML because than i wont get second lead syndrome.

Pros:
I really enjoyed the friendships and other relationships in the drama, i think that is my most favourite part overall. I also liked Hae Yi's character although she could be a bit annoying at times, i think her character was unique compared to your typical poor FL character. I also really liked Hae Yi's family and her relationship with her Mother, I'm so used to harsh and mean kdrama mothers so it was nice to see a kind and funny mom for a change. I especially enjoyed our ML and FL relationship, they are honestly so cute together and since it is a friends to lovers trope i think it made it even cuter.

Overall, if you are looking for a cute college romance i would recommend this, just make sure you don't take things too seriously and don't have extremely high expectations.
