This drama was very similar to A Love so beautiful, a which is a drama I just watched recently so it felt a bit repetitive.
In all actuality the only difference between the two dramas was that here the FL was crushing on the ML’s best friend, and in A Love so beautiful the FL crushes on the ML.

There were very few differences between the two dramas, maybe you could say the FL here was a bit toned down compared to the one in ALSB but just barely. Otherwise both the dramas followed the same pattern, high school led to college which led to falling in love, then a try at long distance/too busy to meet which led to an unnecessary breakup and then a reunion at the end. I don’t know who copied who and I also just can’t be bothered to check the year each was released.

I did really like the ML here, he was cute. I also liked that the ML & FL developed a proper friendship that acted as a frame work for them liking each other. But I did find the FL frustrating, but that’s a problem I have with a lot of C-dramas, the FL are mostly childish, unpractical and weak sadly.

I also want to point out whoever did the FL’ makeup during the high school years, you seriously F-ed up. She constantly looks so pale, and the concealer on her eyes, gawd, so many creases! I don’t know if it was done to make her look younger, but with that awful, I assume wig, she always looks a step away from passing out.
