romancevicariously
The lead's chemistry had me convinced that they had feelings in real life.
Plot: Ummm, very teenager-ish plot. Apart from ML and FL falling in love, I could not care about anything else that was happening.
Watch it if you’re in the mood for: A teenage, school romance between a cocky, testosterone fuelled bad-boy (who is actually really good at heart) and a sweet, naive girl (who still has some spine and brains). What’s different is that both the leads communicate very well with each other throughout the series and never give a single moment of “gah-this-can-be-solved-if-you-two-just-DM-each-other’. Their chemistry is on fire, gave me a lot of feels and I was convinced that they liked each other for real.
Why I liked it:
*CHEMISTRY: The ML and FL had crazy physical chemistry. It is a testimony to their chemistry that even though they did not have a single lip lock in the entire series, they gave me more butterflies in the stomach than a lot of other romance series with a lot of skin ship. I always say, the romance is in the little details and the body language. Few scenes which got to me:
* When a sidey character hits the FL, the pent up aggression shown by the ML while bandaging her wounds (whooh).
* When he is pissed that she is turning down his proposal, banging his head against the almirah
* Mouthing silently “She is my girlfriend” through lips while introducing her to his mother’s grave
I so liked their chemistry that I watched a lot of BTS videos.
*MALE LEAD (Kim Jung-Hyun): The ML had a lot of screen presence, and he nailed the cocky characterisation of a teenage boy. Indifferent and vulnerable at the same time.
Korean MLs are mostly too feminine for me: They are pastel white, show no traces of facial hair, are almost never beefed up and have baby-like skin. Only their deep voices and strong jaws are a saving grace. In a country where all males enlist in the army, why are their beauty standards for men so feminine? Curious philosophical question :)
Anyhoo, this ML is not at all feminine looking, he always had traces of facial hair. Frankly his chapped lips in a few episodes were so hot to me.
*FEMALE LEAD (Kim Se-Jeong): A good FL is core to any romance. While viewers like me who are trying to get romance vicariously swoon over the ML, I am very cognizant that its the FL who has to work equally together to get the right sparks on screen. I really liked the FL. She seemed quite chill, her smile got to me too :D, so no wonder the ML fell for her.
My recommendation: Watch it folks. It’s an investment of 16 + hours in pure fluffy feels and it’s on Netflix!
