If you get pass the acting, this is an overall worth the watch yes the lead actor is a bit stoic and yes delete this may seem a bit over the top with her rush acting but this is what having an overwhelming crush is about you don't get to know how you up or know how you treat them. The story seems overall good. Thats how you would probaly reaaly act in your first love. The character improvement is good too. Every first is overwhelming and considering that supposedly this is their first love, this is justifiable. I love how the lead actor is seeing her worth and know that they probably dont see it themselves due to the influence they hav on the other hut i also like how they can be firm like miao2. No one else can stand up to i fluence first hand but she tried even though it was probably wrong. The acting does seem cringy at first but no one here really know how to act when infront of their love one especially the first one. The second lead does seem to be rushed (ehem hexinxkaitou) but it kinda redeemed itself in a way. I liked how they try to include kos of the actors story line too except for xia (lead's initiat bestfriend). Overall worth the watch. The story line seems slow to kdrama viewers since they are used to 10-16 ep timeline but it was very bearable. There are times for face palming due to timidness of the female leadbut thats understandable in a realistic point. She got no basis how to act around an overflowing emotion. The lead actor acting is a bit bland but was okay plus it was kinda worth it as how knowing your emotions as you go through an intense love is kinda clueless and tbh most guys ARE clueless. Defenitely recommendable. Besides the chemistry was good you almost wished they kinda developed outside of the projec.. I know i did.
