First of all, let me tell you that I am watching this because of Chae Jong Hyeop. From my experience, he always chooses scripts with green flag boyfriend/lover roles and so I can always be sure that there will be no toxic elements in the drama.

My first impression and raw thoughts

Well, I would probably not even watch it if it was someone other than Chae Jong Hyeop. The other advantage is that this is only 8 episode long.

Don’t get me wrong but the first episode was kind of a drag and things only got a bit interesting in episode 2.

I hope it gets better with time.

It is a very normal drama with the same first love angle in high school.

Maybe I am just done with dramas where leads are meet after years and fall in love. Maybe that is not my troupe anymore. Who knows?

Have you started the drama? What are your thoughts?
