a good watch with a breath of fresh air !!

i was just waiting for a this is it drama this summer and i think i found it. although this has so many tropes (like cross- dressing and meeting as children) it manages to deliver it less cliche and cringe.
things i liked:
- the story was alright, i really like detective/ mystery and the plot was very fast paced and easy to understand
- both the main and second couple have amazing chemistry (especially main hehe)
- the whole cast is practically new/ young actors but they did better than i expected
- thank goodness there wasn't a love triangle, i'm so tired of that trope
- the misunderstandings between ML and FL were solved fairly quick which was also effective in allowing the leads to grow together and earn each others trust
- really appreciated that the ML was not the typical overbearing, physically pinning girl to the wall type of person if you know what i mean, he genuinely cared about FL which we can tell from the way he always sticks with her and supports her
- i loved the bond between the 5 main characters, everyone had such distinct personality which made the story a lot more enjoyable
- the ML's visual, that's all i got to say, i found him meh in the beginning but over time in the drama, he definitely proved me wrong with his charisma

aspects i thought could have been improved on:
- i felt like during the first 6 ep, the romance development between main leads was too rushed like everything happened too fast
- the part where FL thought that ML killed her parents, there should have been more evidence or reasons for the FL to think that since i she just believed it was ML from just a voice like . . . people's voices change over time right

overall i think this is a great watch for someone who has time on their hands as the whole thing is fairly long with 32 ep. if you are also looking for a not so cringe but light drama, i highly recommend.
