This drama confused me a bit but I do feel like episode 15 did a good job of explaining the plot holes or maybe confused me even more. I can’t decide which of the two it was.
That episode also got me teary. It was well done.
Also with Izy’s character… I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt many times because she couldn’t stand injustice but her battles to get justice wasn’t right. To me, she was selfish and she wasn’t thinking about the consequences of trying to avenge wrongdoings.
And Ahn Young Mi slayed her role!
So am I happy with how the drama was concluded? No.
Am I unhappy about it? No.
I feel like although I didn’t get the ending I wanted, where my ship wins because that does determine my opinion on a drama to a GREAT extent. I feel like everyone in the drama got a happy ending. So I can’t be mad.
Without spoiling the drama too much the second I found out that the drama was not gravitating to my ship. I lost about maybe 30% interest. I think it added up to me a few episodes back but I was still in denial.

7.5 chestnuts?
It’s been a very long time where I can say that I was able to watch a number of episodes non-stop.I did put this drama on hold for a while, I wasn’t even going to consider it. I have to admit I completely judged it without even giving it a shot, I didn’t know what to expect when I started it and my little theories were very much proven wrong (For some reason I assumed it would be a martial arts drama, idk I saw ‘class’ in the title and I went with that). This drama is way different from what I thought it to be.
Although some elements were very predictable, I truly enjoyed the concept of this drama. It’s different and a change from the dramas that mainly focus on the romance and I liked that. It’s nice when you’re rooting for other things besides the romance.
About the predictability though, I cannot stress enough how many times I screamed at the screen “I’m disappointed but not surprised!”
I truly liked every character but I will have to say not one failed to not frustrate me. You will find yourself being frustrated by each character in this drama.
I have to also mention the time skips in this! I felt like I went through a time machine. I can see why they were used for the plot to an extent. But I feel like we could have got more glimpses of what happened during them. QUESTION, HOW IS HIS HAIR STILL THE SAME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?!!!!
Overall, would I watch this drama again? Did I enjoy it all throughout? And would I recommend it?
I wouldn’t necessarily watch it again and that’s because personally I have to be in the right mood to watch angst-filled dramas kinda like this. I mostly go for light-hearted and fluffy dramas so this wouldn’t really normally be on my radar but I can still say that I enjoyed it and I’m glad I watched it. However, to answer the second question, I didn’t enjoy it all throughout, I kind of feel like the ending was dragging for it to be you know - predictable. That being said, I would still recommend it to anyone, it’s a good drama and a lot of life lessons that could be picked up. Park Seo Jun really did great with his role!

Just as the headline suggests, I was wrong... Sure there were elements of a light and fluffy romance but what I was quite surprised about was how deep and much darker this drama showed to be. I would say I went into this with a pretty open mind as I tried to stay away from edits but some edits that I had seen had drawn me in and had, in turn, made me more curious about love alarm. I already knew that only half of the show was released... Not sure I like this concept I'd rather have it all out in one go or at least on a consistent and regular schedule.
It would be easy to say that I was quite conflicted throughout and easily swayed. I couldn't figure out if I liked Sun Oh and I was really mad that he courted Jojo knowing Hyeyeong liked her, do you need him to say he doesn't like her to make yourself feel better about it? But I couldn't be too mad because I liked them together he was SO nice to her and it made all the difference with her pretty sad life. Then came the problems which I feel we whizzed past through (which I guess I'm thankful for the fact that we didn't have to deal with too much angst). Hyeyeong even mustered up his courage to court her and I was so happy. It's hard to say who I want her with. It would have made all the difference if he told her from the beginning or it was clear that he'd liked her even before Sun oh came along.
I really feel for her Sun oh's new partner too especially after the last episode. She's such a sweety as well :(
What I'm really curious about is Duk Oh :( I want a bit more on his story. It feels very plot holey. Also, who is the creator now? If not him.
If you guys have watched school 2015 (Kim So Hyun's in that as well), I had major flashbacks to that show whenever I saw how badly Jojo's cousin and aunty were treating her. Her ex-bestie was so mean to her as well, It really made me frustrated and feel for her. I can see her growing a backbone in this and that makes me happy :')
Doesn't Hyeyeong look like Kim Soo Hyun!!
