im an avid lover of romance so i was skeptical about watching this at first. There were small moments where romance was hinted at, but nothing that actually happened. BUT, there are three words that can sum up this drama: Bromance On Fire. hahahah, i loooved it. the character development is awesome, and you find yourself getting teary eyed at moments. I think its made even more powerful by the subtleness of the situations that arise - they feel realistic. they are real problems high schoolers actually might face. so, ultimately, i would DEFINITELY recommend watching it. either way, kim woo bin is in it - so you dont have a reason not to watch it ;)
