it was a very cute drama! i did skip parts with the magnet couple and the pick mes because they were so unbearably annoying. they're also the reason why the rewatch rating is low for me. i cannot do it a second time with them. absolutely not.

the one thing i did love about the drama was the way the main lead, minho, acted. in a lot of dramas the male leads become toxic/abusive towards the female leads. i feel like it's so rare to see a male lead not go batshit crazy and start yelling at the female lead unprovoked. but minho didn't. not once did minho yell at her. he didn't become abusive. there was no pulling and grabbing her. when she walked away from him in the cafeteria when he wanted to talk, he didn't grab her wrist and force her like countless other male leads would. he didn't forcefully put her in uncomfortable situations. he didn't try and sabotage the relationship jooah had with the snake who was two-timing her. he didn't try fighting the two-timer to get jooah's attention. there was no useless male competition between the two. even when he confessed and she rejected him, he said he would back off. he respected her and respected her boundaries. it was such a breath of fresh air to see a male lead like that. i hope we continue to see more male leads like cha minho.

also actor jaehyun!!! pleasantly surprised with his acting. a lot of idols jump into acting and dramas without being able to act at all but jaehyun wasn't terrible. with more practice he will do well.
