Warning this review is a little brutal but that’s only because I think joongdunk could’ve been given so much better.

I’m watching all of the GMMTV couple’s shows that are in ourskky2, so I can watch the whole series. I finished SIMM around a month ago, and now that I’m done with the rest of the shows (exception of ABAAB cuz its still running) and I can with full confidence say this is the weakest show out of all of them: which is a shame because joong dunk have such good chemistry that was wasted on an awfully bland show like this.

The plot is what really makes this show unredeemable. It’s the basic, “they knew each other in highschool and had an unrequired love but now they meet when they’re older and pretend to hate each other but they actually have been in love with each other the whole time” and like… that’s all I can tell you about this show- I barely remember the “plot” at all. The main character is so oblivious that it’s unrealistic, and pairing him up with the usual cold and unsympathetic on the outside character was utterly painful and troupey. Don’t get me wrong, these common plots and troupes can be extremely entertaining when mixed with knew and unique elements, (bad buddy, our dating sim, ) but this show? Nah. Let’s add nothing. YESS!! GIVE US NOTHING!!! literally that meme.

I don’t know when joongdunk joined GMMTV, but the fact that they’re advertising them as a main couple, but giving them a shorter and arguably weaker show than the rest of the 7 in the lineup, is just kinda disappointing when so much could’ve been done. It really feels like they have a specific show planned for them in their minds and like, pulled SIMM out of their chamber of discarded or drafted shows that they may or may not release. And if not… I think they thought people would enjoy the basic and sweet college romance. Which we would! If the show was actually interesting on top of it being sweet and romantic which GMMTV has already proved they’re good at.

I’m conclusion, the show is not awful. It’s just disappointing. I mean, I could get through it with only skipping a few scenes, the length of the show helped with that for sure. Watch this if you’re a GMMTV fan like me, and want to know all the lore and couples. But if not, seriously don’t waste your time on this show unless you’re a fan of the basic college troupe. If you are then hey, no judgment. That’s just my take but I can totally see how people enjoyed this show as well!! No hate at all to any of the actors or crew! Making a show is hard and GMMTV has proved to produce quality things, not everything can be a hit though.
