However, now that Belle's attention towards him seem to have decreased, S realizes he has feelings for the girl. S is now the one chasing after Belle and he will do his best to win her back. But it's not as easy as he thinks.

My Thoughts:

Finally, I felt like posting a post about this series. I still can't get over the fact that episode 8 of Season 2 was the final episode so I am still in withdrawal mood. Anyways, this was one heck of a cute youth drama with of course the school setting and I will tell you why slowly. This drama is part of a project of young and old counterparts with this being 14(boy) and 17(girl) and then they get one year older in Season 2.

This was a plain story of crushes in high school, just with a few twists and turns as you know, cliche. I at first thought nothing much of this drama, I just had so much time to kill and I thought of this drama so why not? It was a pretty simple story really but the fact it brought together 3 of the major things in my dreams into a story got me into this story: High school life, Japanese elements and a romance in high school. I'm a simple guy really. Give me cute and supportive story and I'm hooked.

So, about the characters, they both have their own story for sure. S, being a super introvert and nerd on comics, also he's super innocent in love, being young and all, never dated once and never felt in love and of course, doesn't relate to love songs of today. Belle, on the other hand is your simple high school girl at first who got attracted to a senior and then got cheated on, but still she had some experience with love, she's also an extrovert in a sense. Both got entangled because of Belle meaning to prove something to her ex by making S fall in love with her.

And then, in S2, S is no longer who he used to be, he is now a much more confident person and bright and cheerful. With his feelings realized, he began pursuing Belle and entering her world like she entered his. Normally, it is a simple happy ending because both liked each other. But no, the story had to get complicated with Belle having doubts and playing hard to get pretty much and wanted to see S prove his love for her. It was a tough road really with many twists and turns that is unnecessary. But, at least I am loving his efforts to change himself for her and yet Belle does not like that one bit because she knows how tiring it is to become someone for someone else, also she loves S for he is. But a little change does not hurt, hahaha... you'll see which part of the change he maintains. 

In short, this was an easy story to understand and follow through with though some parts are just exaggerated and unthinkable but you'll learn to ignore it. It was an interesting development from beginning to end and I can't think of another better way to say it but just heartwarming and smooth pace, not too rocky in S1 but manageable in S2. It is a case of plain opposites reaching their middle point and learning to love each other despite each quirkiness and trying to get on each other's best side and receiving attention. Go ahead and watch this short drama!
