SWEET LIKE THE NAME TELLS US!

This was the one which didn't give me the curiosity of what will happen next, personally I watched it according to my convinence unlike the other C Dramas(where I would skip the side stories of the other characters ...if not interesting and affix myself to the ML and FL .... complete the WHOLE IN A DAY OR TWO). I should really do this to all dramas cause I forget about my surrondings(as I feel like I m IN A DIFFERENT WHORLD) my studies etc and binge watch.

I liked both the SHY male lead and the CUTE female lead. As the story went on there was build-up of the characters and the male lead suddenly became quite bold and comfortable. I was also interested in the story line of the other two couples ...they were okaish n not outstanding...more engrosed on the centre story line. The story line of the drama was fine ( otherwise I would have left it midway).Dentist Ai Jing Chu ( Bi Wen Jun) was the most handsome professor at Donghu University. University librarian Zeng Li (Wu Xuan Yi) was forced to go to the dentist to put on braces (which she was fearful of than anything!!) by her mother as she felt that her teeth were at fault... where she met Jing Chu and this meeting started on a wrong foot due to some misunderstanding.

I wouldn't rewatch the drama! As I feel it isn't that interesting to go through it again!
The only problem that I faced was the converation or the gossiping among the three besties at their own cafe ( so interesting to start a cafe with besties!!!I feel like doing so...).As they talked a little faster lol I had to pause it to read the subtitles which otherwise I m quite good at. That's something which comes after watching numerous dramas.

I don't understand why they bought the SML (whom Fl had a crush onn) so late in the drama, ofcourse it did't stir up many things.ML was friends with SML and he knew that FL had feelings for him as he had mistakenly read the letter sent by her....
I did'nt get the second lead syndrome ( he is quite handsome tho....Ming god from falling into your smile).
Rather, I started feeling bad for our conserved ML who had a very sad personal story. Talking about the upbringng of the FL ....she had a very dangerous one! her mother was one nutcase! OKAY! I UNDERSTAND CIRCUMSTANCES MAKES IT HAPPEN BUT, WHATEVER...One satisfaction that I had was she was n good terms with her Ex-step dad and Ex-step brother LOL. I also wanted to address that the ML's aunt was freaking young and grandpa was so chill. I liked em.

-THE SECOND COUPLE-

The typical age gap one.....Liu Yu Cheng(Zhai Xiao Wen) chases Wu Ying (Baby Zhang) so badly LOL. When did he get the time to study???? When did he learn chinese medicine???? and when does he attend his classes- like bro you need to stop flaunting that being a malasian guy, Yu Cheng had interest in chinese medicine( he is also from falling into your smile and I did get a liking to himm even tho he didn't end up with the FL)
The older one in this couple is the female,,Wu Ying is cold doctor and always refuses requests of Yu Cheng and his sweet talks as she treats him like a child. Wu Ying grows fonder when she gets to know that Yu Cheng is absolutely amazing in playing online games. So they keep meeting often as she likes to win and he is the one who would play for her and cause of major crush he just wants to spend time with her. Their first meeting was also quite great as he fell in love at first sight and also got me interested in watching their character development and the story line.

-THE THIRD COUPLE-
I wasn't expecting much about them and I didn't quite get them I...Deng Hao Ran (Liu Te) here is our FL's step-brother. He is a great brother. He gets involved in the talks between these three which ends up being comical.... he is a hilarious guy. Ma Yi Yi (Wan Zi Lin) is a social media influencer, amazing friend(there is always the one with dating advices) and she is very outgoing person who just wants to be in a relationship with someone(desperate). She finds someone she likes and he looks a bit sus , I was like he is completely fake....She doesn't end up with him . Deng Hao Ran is jealous n uk why... cause he was her Ex. and they get back together LIKE WHAT!!. The best friends also didn't knew that until very laterr....Their story is slow paced as it took them long long long time to realise that they still love each other. I think it was the second last episode or third last one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The drama ended on a good note...the surprise by the ML was also great....and it was satisfactory ...it was the wedding scene of the second lead couple and LMAO when the other two friends were crying for their bestie (happy tears :))) it is quite memorable scene.... all the scenes b/w ML and FL were cute.
The scene were the FL confessed her feelings for the ML was also my favorite one to watch... cause we were all awaiting for her to tell him as somewhere they both knew they liked each other. my fav fav scene was the drunk kiss as she thought that ML was a teddy bear and she wanted to drink coffee but the ML our typical dentist told her not to... as she had retainers..The ML didn't like coffee but was forced to taste it LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
The title is so suitable as the drama is about a dentist and the whole encounter of the ML and FL was cause he was a densist and a sweet love story ofcourse.

Warm and refreshing to watch, stress reliever. MUST WATCH!!!

I have watched many K-Dramas before, but this is my first time reviewing one...This drama was definately a hit for me! , it had many small details which made it more enjoyable to watch.I hope you like my review and the drama too. (which I am hoping you are going to watch after this review kkkk)
Its going to be very detailed so this could be read after watching the drama as-well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on the web series "Love PLaylist", It is a drama which revolves around the campus lives of- Ma Joo-ah (Park Hye-soo), Cha Min-ho (NCT Jeong Jae-hyun), Seo Ji-min (Roh Jeong-eui), Park Ha-neul (Bae Hyun-sung), Gil Mok-Jin (Lee Jin-Hyuk), Hwang Bo-Young (Woo Da-Vi). That's what pulled me to watch this drama as it has been a long time since I have seen Uni one.

There are many things I wish to address but I will write this one without giving away much.
As the name suggests 'DEAR.M' is a mysterious person writing a love letter on the school app making us wonder throughout the drama...who could it be??? Just freaking tell us and end it here. And I won't tell you that, just gonna give a hint that the least expected person is always the culprit...This drama was a roller coaster of emotions, at some moment all are happy, elited and someday are not feeling it.... it also potrays the difficulties it faced to be in a prestigious university. And yes, a sweet romanace- with ups and downs. There are so many cute lovey- dovey scenes which will melt our hearts so BEWARE.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Joo-ah is a lively girl who will always uplifts the mood of those around her.She is a second year student in the Business Administrator department. She is childhood friends with Cha Min-ho who is in Computer Sci department. In the 1st Episode she encounters a handsome, kind, sweet guy Moon Joon, and falls heads over heels for him . (who turns out to be Min-ho's senior).
Min-ho has feelings towards Joo-ah but becomes her wingman as she decides to win Moon Joon Sunbae's heart. And yeah, like always, you feel bad for the bestie who has feelings.( it is hilarious to see him jealous all the time lol he is supeerr cutieee, I love the way he worries about Joo ah all the time). He takes Joo-ah's mom to be his mom as well that's how close they are.

Cha Min-ho is brilliant at coding and its impressive that he completes his assignments in just an hour. He has never had a long relationship with someone before that's because he always prefers Joo-ah (his girl space friend over girlfriend). He is creative with developing apps and coming with different ideas. Min ho's parents died in a car accident on a rainy day, when he was young, since then his elder sister has taken care of him ( she keeps her wish to attend college aside and takes up jobs to support them . She struggles a lot as she is only a high school graduate.She is the best Noona everr)
Min-ho has a lot of respect for her and wants to earn and give back to the noona who has taken care of him all his life. He saves up a lot of money doing part time jobs... when he comes to know that his sister is going to get married ,he feels that the money he has saved up is not lot, as weddings are extravagant. He has always felt that he was a baggage for her and stopped her from persuing her dreams. She later explains that she did not put him first but it was the choices she made.She also mentions that she has nothing but to brag about Min ho to her in-laws
The most emotional scene was when Min-ho said that she was not his mom (as she took care of him as one) but also a daughter of mom and she should take care of herself as well.

My heart tore apart in the scene where he got conned of 10 million won, because he wanted to invest some money to do greater good for his app. The analogy used between 'lost of money' and 'lost of youth' saddned my heart. As he worked his a** off for it. Joo ha knows how to take care of him and always puts some sense into him is what I liked about their friendship.
He was going to drop out of college to earn money,,,,but she stops himmm.

Joo ha has never had a dream and did not know what she wanted to in life. She even got confused about the dates of her exam and missed it and it was during the mid-terms, so silly of her..... .When she builds her interest in baseball to be liked by sunbae,
she then knows what she wants to be and chases her dream..you go girl!!!! There were some hilarious scenes between the two.
I liked the chemistry between her and Moon joon sunbae at the beginning which slowly and gradually faded away . You'll know when you watch the drama,, I am not going to spill the tea now..

When we talk about the SN couple a.k.a Magnet couple,
Seo Ji Min and Park Na Neul are the perfect campus couple which everyone adores... and yup they are the cutest
Like, from Na-neul sending Ji min the temperature and suggesting her to wear a cardigan when it was cold and stuff to
him video calling her asking which clothes he should wear.
I have seen Roh Jeong-eui act before in 18 AGAIN(which is amazing drama I must say) and I fell in love with her,,she so damn beautiful ......the way she conveys her emotions and feelings tells us that she was tailor-made for acting-- They look super duper awesome together....but what's going to seperate them is ........is a third person....and a forth person yeah CRAZY RIGHT??!!!
Seo Ji Min is very caring and loving towards everyone, she has high tolerence level for alcohol.
Park Na Neul had just lost his father who was in the army and he had changed his Major and was adjusting to it, Ji Min supported him.
Thier relationship strong at first becomes fragile as Ji-Min's former friend (Choi Ro-sa) who had gone to exchange programe had returned and developed feelings for Na nuel...This trail followed misunderstandings, lost of trust, losing friendship, jealousy and what not...
Many would say that Ji min was over-reacting to it and she should have trust her boyfriend. If I put myself in her shoes, I would have felt the same as Ji min.. there were many co-incidents that were happening that made her suspecious of her boyfriend cheating on her.She started losing trust on him. But, she never told him that he was at fault. She always blamed herself that she had a major crush on him for ages and felt that she liked him more than he did. Na nuel (who always was in his own world and does not understand hints.... I am surprised with the fact that he knew that Min ho had a crush on Joo ha)
He had a tough time as he had changed his major and Ro sa always helped himm as she was already in the same department( plus point for her).She is a worst friend ... Ji min is so radiant that everyone gets attracted towards her and Ro sa feels inferior to her. She plays dirty tricks to win favor.... tries to steal Na nuel as well, knowing that both are immensely in love with each other.

The scenes where Ro sa takes pictures of the skies 'na-neul' , uses the same pet name 'ma-neul' as Ji min, taken his pictures secretly, used the same keychain as the couple, sits beside him every freaking where, threw Ji min's uniform in the dustbin and spilled coffee ... are the ones most hated by me. The most surprising thing was she had justification for everything she did. The so-called co-incidents were actually done by her...off course. lol like I hate her..really do. She made our cutesy couple break-up and I hated that-(credits to the actor who played Ro sa as she really did her job making me wanting to slap her!! )
At the start the dirty games played by her was not minded much by Ji min, so I felt they will not break up but they did which can be justified . Ji min came to know about Ro sa's feelings but,did not tell anything to Na neul...he always felt somethng was wrong . In my opinion, she should have told him everything but, there was this thing that her pride would hurt if she had told him to maintain distance with her so-called friend Ro sa.
She is the lead center in her cheer group which also made Ro sa jealous. Ro sa is not focused on her life but their life... like gurl get some life....
Ji min wanted to be stopped by Na nuel when she broke up...the scene where she tells her roomates her break-up and that she packed her things slowly and walked slowly out of the cafe thinking that he would stop her from leaving... bought 1000 tears to my eyessss!!!!
Na-nuel does not act fast.. he sat there like a statue....not speaking a word. He then becomes miserable after break-up which is also taken as an advantage by Ro sa.
The fact that when he was drunk, he gave a back hug to Ro sa thinking it was Ji min made him feel sorry and that he commited a crime made me feel bad for him....Throughout the drama he made us know that he is not very expressive, everyone acts in a certain way but should know how to act, what to act when..
special credits to Ban yi-dam who gave company to Ji min after her break up....was our straightforward guy(I felt the contrast between him and Na neul). He liked Ji min and told her openly about it,though younger he was mature. When accused of flirty nature he said I tell the truth...the forth one to get involved.... I should say this was a love square or a rhombus.
When Min ha war removed from her group....Yi- dam consoled her in a way telling her to find something else to do and that she could built interest in something else. Min ha loved to be on stage and perform she was always doing that.
Changing her dream at this point is a little...um um.. Na nuel took the initiative to convince the two girls that they should accept their mistake as they also wouldn't want Min ha to leave,, which made me repect him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lee Jin hyuk added the perfect touch needed to the drama, he is amazing and a cool person (he is my fav)
The cleaning expert, he had OCD and was kicked out of other dorm because he was too clean lolll. His dream thing to buy was an automatic cleaning machine hahaha...:))))
Hwang bo young who initially looked cold ....was actually a sweet heart. She is pretty......She has type 1 diabetes and it is scary to the point that she had to carry medicines everywhere, take regular tests and inject insulin shots, and drink juice when sugar level gets low.she could also get hypoglycemic shocks as well.She is the dating expert here, she listens to her roommates and gives them the best advice.
I felt that Jin hyuk and she wouldn't end up together but I liked their chemistry as well. I wish they could show more about these two.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHERS-
Overall the drama gave me happy vibes and I would give it a second watch as well.....
I liked the scene where they all played games during their getaway, Jin hyuk had arranged everything for them. We got to see the character development of all these amazing people.
The only thing that I didn't like was they made the drama a bit rushed at the end. It is sure a 12 episode drama but it felt like it was longer. I felt it was a little stretched at some parts.
There were so many instances where they are like "I would like to have a talk". which after a point gets so irritating.
The scene where Jin ah was consoled by Min ho after that Sunbae thing and when he hugged her after the pepper spray incident bought butterlies in my belly.
I hope you liked my review ,, because I poured my heart into this....Thank you.
