A Heartwarming Start to a Promising Romcom Journey

Episode 1 far exceeded my expectations, captivating me from the very first minute until the closing scene. Every moment was a delight, evoking a wide range of emotions, from sorrow to joy. Kim Hye Yoon truly showcased her brilliance in Episode 1, undoubtedly stealing the spotlight. Her versatility was astonishing as she effortlessly portrayed anger, humor, mischief, and more. Additionally, her performance brought back fond memories of her exceptional work in Extraordinary You. Byeon Wooseok also delivered a commendable performance in Episode 1, convincingly capturing the portrayal of depression as an idol. Having read the available 40 chapters of the webtoon, I noticed a few changes in the adaptation, which I appreciated as they added depth to the story. Episode 1 ignited nostalgic feelings, reminiscent of the writer's previous works such as True Beauty and Extraordinary You. The school scenes bore resemblance to the latter, while other moments resonated with the stylistic elements of True Beauty. Finally, after a long wait, we have been blessed with a proper youth romantic comedy. I anticipate that Mondays will now be filled with delight. I firmly believe that this show has the potential to achieve the same level of popularity as True Beauty in the future, propelling its actors, especially Byeon Woo-seok, to stardom, much like Cha Eunwoo and Hwang InYeop's rise after True Beauty. Overall, I eagerly await the upcoming episodes, filled with anticipation and excitement.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA,

This drama is an absolute must-watch! I guarantee that you will never get bored of it. From the first two episodes, I sensed that this drama is a top-tier masterpiece for me. I adore it so much! Thank me later for recommending it. I genuinely appreciate all the characters, and I sincerely hope that Wooseok's character won't meet a tragic fate again. Please let this be a happy ending for them. The female lead is incredibly funny, reminiscent of her role in Extraordinary You. Her extroverted nature is endearing, and I have loved her in every drama she has been a part of. And as for Wooseok, he is undeniably handsome. I admire the acting skills of the entire cast. Overall, this drama is incredibly cute, and I adore it with all my heart. It will forever hold a special place in my heart, just like other K-dramas that I love.

PERFECT FOR THOSE WHO WANT A LIGHT-HEARTED DRAMA

I genuinely adore this drama, especially when I'm seeking something light-hearted, stress-free, and uplifting. While there are heart-breaking moments, the show maintains a good balance. The storyline and plot twists are absolutely captivating. <3 <3 The female lead's character is relatable and hilarious! I couldn't contain my laughter when she zoomed in on the ML's neck/collarbone in his fan photo because, girl, I felt the same way. LMAO The chemistry between the FL and ML is incredible. I'm completely obsessed with the ML's character; he's someone you'd want to protect at all costs. And let's not forget how fine Wooseok looks! I truly hope this drama receives more recognition and propels Wooseok and Hye Yoon to stardom. Oh, and Wooseok's singing is beyond amazing! He could easily pass as an idol. (His rendition of Eclipse's songs is unbelievably good!) I highly recommend listening to Eclipse's songs on Spotify; they're absolutely perfect!
