*This is a review by someone who has been reading the Love Revolution webtoon for quite a while =)

STORY
This web drama was very enjoyable to watch: it's cute, hilarious, and so much fun! It's pretty similar to the webtoon, IMO. The webtoon's storyline gets kinda dark and heavy in the later chapters but I much prefer the lighter mood of this drama's storyline. This show is simple and easy to watch as there isn't really an overly dramatic story arc. Most of the dilemmas presented in each episode get solved quickly since each episode is only 20 min long. As for the romance, I actually really loved the main couple. They're a unique duo and I absolutely loved their cute moments together. The romance between Gong Ju Young and Wang Ja Rim might be hard to watch for some people at first but I promise that it gets better pretty quickly. It doesn't drag on for way too long and you get to see the development of their relationship and the character development of Wang Ja Rim. This drama didn't just focus on the romance though; Gong Ju and Wang Ja's friends were heavily involved in the show as well. Many episodes featured their whole friend group hanging out together and it was just really fun to watch. I loved the friendship aspect in this drama.

This might be irrelevant but I'd like to point out that they were actually able to swear in this drama because it is not being shown on national TV in Korea (it is a Kakao TV webdrama). I like that the characters were able to swear in the show because there's originally a lot of swearing in the webtoon and it demonstrates realistic dialogue between teenagers.

(!Maybe a spoiler?): Based on the ending of this drama (after the end credits), I feel like there's a strong possibility that there will be a season 2. The webtoon is still ongoing and the producers of this drama still have a lot of content that they can work with.

ACTING/CAST
I was really excited when I heard Park Jihoon was going to play Gong Ju Young. I cannot imagine anyone else playing Gong Ju other than PJH. He was perfect for the role. Most of the main cast in this drama are rookie actors/actresses and I thought they did really well in their first drama. Everyone's acting was natural. It really felt like I was watching a bunch of teenagers in high school. What really impressed me is that the main cast looked EXACTLY like the characters in the webtoon. Hair/makeup/costume crew did an excellent job. Also, I'd really like to see Lee Ruby in other dramas in the future. Wang Ja Rim is originally a very emotionless character and Lee Ruby did well portraying her but due to the character's demeanor, Lee Ruby wasn't able to show her acting skills that much here. I'm looking forward to her new projects~

MUSIC
This drama has 4 OSTs and they're pretty good. I liked PJH's Midnight and the song Pit-a-Pat the most. They're super catchy!

REWATCH VALUE
Personally, I think the rewatch value of this show is high. If I stumble upon it again, I'll probably watch a random episode. It's easy to re-watch because the episodes are short and fun.

OVERALL
Overall, I genuinely enjoyed this drama! I watched it from Sept to Dec, twice a week while it was still on going so I'm really gonna miss this show as it had become a part of my weekly routine. I loved the story and the cast. I may be a little biased though because I've been a reader of the webtoon for a long time. It's just super fun to watch and it may be reminiscent of your high school days. It has its cheesy moments but it should be expected from a teen rom-com based on a webtoon. If you are looking for something lighthearted, heart fluttering, easy, and fun to watch, I highly recommend Love Revolution!


*I've been an English reader of the webtoon for a few years now but Eng translations currently only go up to chapter 76 so I haven't really gotten that far in the webtoon bc there are A LOT of chapters =(
