Review
4 out of 5Your typical Korean drama,,, now featuring where the female lead is actually the better one in sports!1!1!1!1!11222 It was absolutely adorable, this drama recently got my old friend to watch dramas again and she's liking it so far!
The characters are cute, their relationship is cute, the drama is just overall cute.
I intended to get this 'review' out the day it ended but ya k, stuff happens.
Also, did i forget to mention that Lee Jooyoung (one of BokJoos bff's) got me super gay for her LMAO
LIKE I LOVE HER AND THE ACTRESS, SHE'S MY NEW KDRAMA CRUSH
LIKW LOOK @HER SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL
okay but really, this drama is a good watch - it just gets boring sometimes, so i skipped some parts :/ Like some episodes are just fillers and also, surprise surprise they both have major family problems too!!!! It's quite sad, but their problems make you feel emotionally attached to these characters and their friends/ family.
