Cute college romance featuring an aloof tall guy and a short clumsy girl who fall in love

Reasons why I liked this drama:

1. The main couple have great chemistry with each other

He's super tall and she's super petite. She's SUPER clumsy and he's constantly having to rescue her. It's a bit cliched but they look so cute together and it's entertaining to watch them interact and how everything plays out. It's pretty obvious from the first few episodes that they like each other, but it's not insta-love and the lead-up to them dating is fun to watch. The drama is full of situations where they share cute moments together or show that they like each other in small ways... like him picking a water out of the trash can.... or giving her a rock. HAHAHA.

2. There's no love triangle

Although there are other people who are interested in the two main leads, there's no false hope or leading anyone on. Yay!

3. Character development and communication in the relationship

Communication is so important in a relationship and so is standing up for yourself. In typical drama fashion, there was a situation when they were about to start dating that could have the potential to be a huge misunderstanding / source of them not being together but I'm really glad that didn't happen. I feel like that is a common trope but they used it in a way that felt actually meaningful because the FL was able to grow and realized she was being unfair to her boyfriend and you also got to see the ML being patient with her, but also calling her out on what she was doing. (Not trying to spoil anything so this is very vague)

Things that could have been better:

-the ML feeling jealous over the FL seeing her male friend / making up ridiculous rules
I think this is fine before they start dating, because he was afraid that she was going to end up with the other guy, but if you're already dating, then I think that there needs to be a certain level of trust. I wish that dramas would normalize having friends of the opposite sex while having a boyfriend and it being OK.

-things wrapped up too quickly / not enough backstory
I usually prefer shorter dramas (16 episodes) and find Chinese dramas too long but in this case I actually wouldn't have minded it being longer. I feel like some of the conflict was resolved too easily between other characters at the end and I wish they gave more backstory into the ML's high school days. I was also expecting to see the ML's family but that didn't happen.

-fat shaming
One of the FL's friends had a chubby face and one of the guys kept on making fun of her weight and I feel like that was part of her "character". Asian standards are so unrealistic and I wish they didn't use that trope. She looked perfectly healthy and she wasn't even fat, just not super skinny.
