review from a manhwa reader (includes a manhwa spoiler! but it happens at the first few chapters)

ok let me be honest. i LOVEDDDD the way the actors portrayed jaewoo! and yuna! i didn't like how they changed a lot from the manhwa tho, and how they didn't include that part where sangwoo totally didn't recognize jaeyoung three? or four times and even called him by the wrong name bc i think that played a big part in showing his character. their first meeting after the freeloading fiasco was also a bit disappointing bc,,, okay i'm not going to spoil this as the experience will be so much better if you read the manhwa without knowing. also, is it just me or did they really change ryu jihye's characterization a bit? it wasn't a good change, and i frankly got pissed when she and jaeyoung talked like that at the cafeteria bc that's not how she is in the manhwa, but i still liked what she did in the last episode. i just hoped they stayed a bit more loyal to the manhwa but oh well.

THE ENDING WAS EVERYTHING! it was beautiful, i legit teared up at sangwoo's confession and at jaeyoung teasing him for his ppt making skills. overall the drama is worth watching! and hello??? even though the plot and setting is something cliche, HOW IS THIS STILL SO ADDICTING???

OBSESSED. A 56-EP MASTERPIECE I WISH I'D WATCHED SOONER.

y'all... i regret watching this drama late into 2024. it spent years gathering dust in my watch list bc i got intimidated by the number of episodes but my GOD. never let the drama length hinder you from unearthing diamonds i'm telling you!!

let me just say i finished watching this five days ago and until now, even while watching another cdrama, i cannot stop thinking about ling buyi and cheng shaoshang and everyone else. are they married with three kids?? is the cheng grandma still insufferable? i really am just obsessed not only with the main characters but also the supporting characters. i love them all so much, 56 episodes weren't enough to unravel this masterpiece. the actors were splendid in bringing the characters to life, especially zhao lusi with such a complex character like niaoniao. can't say i'm surprised though, zls has always been a magnificent actress.

i wish we could've seen more of ling buyi and cheng shaoshang towards the ending, though. AND I NEED WU LEI AND ZHAO LUSI IN ANOTHER DRAMA! MAY THE CDRAMA GODS HEAR MY PRAYER.

PS. this is my first wu lei drama ever and now i'm in love with him i'm omw to binge his works TT____TT
