So sad that this drama started off with great potentials yet it left me with an open ending with so many questions and loose ends. Especially with the main lead's love story and how focused the story was on studying/grades and the importance of students' career path yet, the ending didn't do their future after all the hard time they suffered any justice.

I also want to commend this drama for a lot of things like how the FL that had bad grades wasn't forever labeled as a lost cause and instead she worked hard and made it on her own and how characters with unrequited love moved on without jealousy drama that targeted the main "couple". I also like the simplicity of the set, it wasn't extravagant and reflected exactly each family's income.

Finally, if you came here after someone recommended this to you because of reply 1988, please don' t watch this drama with that in mind. The comparisons between the two shows ruined the experience of this drama for me.
