My Thoughts:
I will start by saying I really like this drama a lot. There
is an abundance of charm to the story and its characters in more ways than one.
Again, I started this drama reading the comments beforehand and some were
complaining about the slow development of the story and another was defending
it. For reasons unknown, I find this drama promising because of that. I began a
mindset of a child filled with wonder and then find myself not needing such
mindset and that I just need to be myself watching this because it was indeed
promising and excel. Read whatever comments you can whether bad or good about
this drama, I am gonna defend this drama to the end. No matter if you came in
expecting lots or less, I will stick to saying you will be surprised either
way.
To me, this drama is perfect for me right now. I find myself
searching for a kinda slow-paced story and something that can attract my
attention and seriously, this story got me digging deeper. I thought it was
something pointless at first and I will get bored soon and finally say, at
least I tried. But, as always, I hit the jackpot, this story not only keeps me
entertained, it got me wondering the whole time because I can never guess
perfectly what happens next because this drama is super unpredictable. All I
could do was guess on small hints. It got me stuck thinking what's gonna happen
next. It breaks away from all the cliche that I know.
Enough blabbing for now, on to the story itself, I like how
the writer moves along with the story. The writer slowly brings each and every
single character to life even if they appear for a short while. Like that
random best friend who always seem to be having parties or those couples who
are always having fun with each other. They may seem pointless characters but
they do help to develop the story and not serve as filler. The main leads of
course always have troubles of themselves, one particularly highlighted in this
drama is inferiority complex, you see that a lot and how different characters
respond to their troubles is to me, one of the charms of this drama.
The most obvious charm is the characters themselves.
Seriously, I'm falling for the characters so much. So well set-up in their
personality,i just love their interactions with each other. There is not a
single character that to me have done a stupid decision in their life choices.
They did the right thing always, yes they may act silly and irrational but I
realize later on, they did so out of pure logical reasons. Some decisions they
did were unknowingly for others. I find myself grinning all the time seeing
each character because I can't help by their cuteness, boy and girl
alike.
It was a short drama and I didn't want it to end but I was
glad to end it because as I quote from W: 'I am one of those people who wants a
happy ending' and believe I enjoyed this story One thing, I know it's
cliche for hate to be love but this writer did it with perfect transitions; bad
first impressions, misunderstandings, clears up misunderstanding, starts trying
to understand, starts caring, falls in love, begins to be super considerate and
so on and so forth. This was a well-written drama and one sure to be missed and
watched again someday. Took a day to hold on watching the last episode but did
not regret watching this drama till the end at all.
