Lighthearted fun drama

I started this drama because I feel korean dramas always have fresh take on school/university genre.
Though it may get repetitive from drama to drama, the execution does feel different in this case.

We know who our three couples are so no heartbreaks over the end game. The love triangle is also pretty much straight forward. Our main female lead wants to start her first love with the handsome, rich, polite sunbae(senior) and female lead's long time male best friend is not so much on board with this idea. Its a delight to watch Ma Joo Ah and Cha Min Ho bickering with each other, supporting each other, pushing each other in the right direction, consoling each other and getting aware about the romantic feelings for each other. We are also introduced with the other 2 couples, though the romance with the other 2 couples does seems scripted at some point. They do not shine as much as our main couple. However these 6 characters interacting with each other as friends, roomates in the background of university life is portrayed very beautifully.

And in all this mix of romantic feelings we have mystery regarding dear m. I personally found this mystery very unpredictable as you suspect every character to be this mysterious post writer and in the end you will still be surprised. Every student in this drama including the side characters have their own story and own struggles. So I liked the overall message that no matter what your family will always support you and your friends will always cheer for you.

Personally this drama does make you feel nostalgic about you own collage/school days where exams, assignments, mid terms, friends, study rooms, classrooms, collage festivals, first love, first heartbreak does seems like your whole world.
P. S. Thought I am familiar with students not being prepared for the exam or preparing for the wrong subject, forgetting that you finished that subject's exam and asking cheat notes for that subject to teacher makes me feel I was way too sincere in my college days. LOL. You may or may not guess who dear m is but 2 episodes into this drama and you will definitely guess who this unprepared character is.

Hope you find this review usefull.
