This drama was really good but also predictable many episodes before the actual end.
I loved Do Hyeon character, he was so human with his feeling and thoughts that was way long better than Ji Soo character. If you like romantic dramas, this one is the for you, there are no high expectations, nothing so dark or sad stories just a really, really light story. Probably could be less long, due to the end, because around episode 13 you can fully understand how this one's gonna finish... I really liked how also the focuses on the secondary cast people, by adding their stories and not being left behind like many dramas, also the second couple was super sweet !!!

Wonderful drama but lacks of something...

Before anything, I watched everything about this manga, starting with 'From Me to You' the movie more than a decade ago, and that movie is still one of my favourites ever, from actors, music and fidelity to the manga, to the animated series, till the comic.
This one is definitely well done, if you had the opportunity to read the series you can't deny how much precise the story is if compared, but also lacks something. The actors did a well-done job, but everything was very stiff and didn't have the lighthearted aura of the movie, that's undeniable, everything follows a line and only that, not excessive, nothing too romantic, nothing over the top.
I do recommend it yes, but do not expect anything

Do not care about bad rewiews here, it's worth the watch

At the start, I thought that wasn't that much worth my time, even though I've been a huge Rowoon fan (also SF9) for the past years, and I've also been influenced by the other reviews there, but decided to give it a try!
Honestly, not the best 2023 drama, but is well done. Loved their chemistry, also the support roles actors and actresses did a really good job, the storyline is dumb and that is why is good, is supposed to be a lighthearted drama that doesn't need to be taken seriously. I love some random phrases of Rowoon and the bickering with the second lead, also his parents are hilarious in certain moments.
I would give a solid 8 to this!

A good distopic but nothing else

Wanted to watch this title as soon as was announced from Netflix at the start of this year, as a forever lover of dystopian movies, I was thrilled to see something in a drama form.
The ambientation in itself is honestly good and the story is actually really good, but doesn't develop that much and a second season would be honestly completely unnecessary. Everything revolves around a revenge kind group of rebels that want to reunite their world (the poor uninhabitable one) with the elite world (rich people, good air and great jobs). But overall, the story doesn't go beyond that, and everything is rushed in the last two episodes

In all honesty? A masterpiece!

Watched this majestic drama while it was still airing in Korea the past year, and honestly was the best drama of all 2022!
Usually, I'm not a historic + historic/fantasy drama lover, I love history but I'm not really that good at the Korean one, so at first I wanted to avoid it, I've thought that the mixture of the completely different genres would be a huge mess.
What a dumb thought.
The storyline can be tricky at first, especially for all the different families and the flashbacks are a whole lot, but once the first episodes the story starts to get amazing, and the long length of each episode (pretty much like a movie per each episode) goes in the back. Jung So Min is AMAZING in this, she and her facial expressions are hilarious and a tinge of adding some 'slap comedy' is a big yes for me!
I would recommend this? YES
Is worth a rewatch? Yes Again!!

I sincerely LOVED this drama, it was such a long time since I haven't been feeling the urge to watching a drama as soon as I get at home.
Let's start by saying that the plot isn't new, but I liked the fact that the whole drama starts by showing off the most inner part of the story and only after the story starts to answer all the why's about the first episode!
Let me say that I EXTREMELY LOVED the chemistry between the main couple, I remember the main lead from Meteor Garden and was the only one that I've liked back then from that drama, but I really liked his acting here!!!
I can sincerely say that the central episodes (around the 15th) almost made me cry, they were so beautiful that literally made my heart melt. I liked also the second couple, they were funny enough not to gettin' into the classic boring couple who usually doesn't have a story by itself. Generally, the end was really good, probably the episodes around the 20th are just created to give the drama a 40th episodes length, actually, they don't give real meaning to the whole history, let's be honest about it!
Overall, i really liked it!!!!!

Rarely I am a fan of Taiwanese dramas since they tend to be more confusing and intricate than the Chinese ones, but this one actually made an exception or at least for me!
Don't expect a Hollywood production, the story is literally just 3 hours long but I think the episode has the perfect length not to fall into boring ones.
The story is somehow original, even if sometimes is rushed and there aren't so many background stories I liked the chemistry between the actors, I loved the last three episodes and I've also liked the funny scenes in between.
I don't know why but reminded me a lot of the kdrama ''I picked a star on the road'', which was a title that I've seriously enjoyed in the past.
I seriously hope in a second season or in a final full episode just to understand all the open points left at the end!

I've watched this title since it was on my recommendations here on MDL, and also because it had a good plot and also a good length for the episodes.
Overall it wasn't a bad drama, the pros are that the story is new and at least original (it thought it was a thriller title but turned out to be a dark/psychological drama), it's beautifully shot and also belongs to a real story, so it's pretty interesting!
The cons are the teacher, he was extremely over portrayed and also confusing...
From the 6th episodes, I've started to skip some scenes because it started to get really boring and somehow heavy.
The end left me confused, probably I've also needed to read the manga is based on understanding everything, but I'm serious by saying that I had to watch the end more than once since it seems there's a second season but actually there's nothing more after the titles...
Overall I don't give it a 7/10 ...

Really liked this light drama, I've literally devoured it in like three hours or less!
I love the school ambient, but in this one, I LOVED the growth of each character, usually, short dramas tend to be dispersive due to short episodes and really contracted stories that fall into really dumb ones. Luckily that wasn't the case for this drama, really really enjoyed it, 99% gonna rewatch in the future!
