Best Mistake (2019)

I've seen this many times before, and done better

Web series, which isn't bad in and of itself. I've seen many that manage to pack a lot into each short episode. Here, however, that didn't happen. The overall show was pretty bland. Typical high school/bullying storyline. However, I would say, for the bully that was after the female lead, someone should have called the police on him, because he was a stalker! One of my problems with this was that the guys all looked so much alike, especially once the ML dyed his hair.

The female lead was pretty boring, so I couldn't understand all the interest in her. Add to that the fact that motives for people's actions were never explained fully, it was hard to get invested in the characters.

It filled an evening while I decide what to watch next, but that's about all I can say about it.

rewatched for the 2nd time

i remember watching this drama quite awhile ago, i had no new dramas to watch and so i watched this instead.

the acting is good for a web drama, and so is the story. i would say this drama is pretty laid back and a slice of life high school drama. it makes you feel happy on the inside. i will say there is nothing special to this drama or overall exciting to this drama. i would recommend this to a friend who is wanting to get into kdramas, since this drama is easy to watch, short episodes, and overall a relaxing slice of life.

rewatch value would be a good 50/50, maybe i will rewatch this in the future but this drama is a good mediocre high school web drama.

A good word to sum up this drama is “unforgettable”. Best Mistake is a fifteen episode mini series centered around our main protagonist: the typical sweet and studious good girl who catches the eye of a bad boy. Through the power of love bad boy eventually changes to be someone our protagonist would like. It’s a very run of the mill high school k-drama that has been done many times before. We also have the supportive best friend, comedic friend, the genius second lead, and finally the ‘evil’ second female lead.

Best Mistake is unoriginal but that’s not a bad thing. The short length allowed me to binge pretty fast but the problem is it brought nothing new to the table. There was a few plotlines (like the second lead and his secret of the second female lead and her insecurities) that I wished they would explored more in-depth. If they did I think this drama would of left a better impression that on me. Even though I just finished it I could not tell you anything about the characters or plot. The acting, script, soundtrack, and couples were okay. Hence the solid 5 stars I’m giving it. It’s not terrible but it wasn’t exactly phenomenal. It was just...okay. If you are looking for a quick, mind numbing, and quirky little drama this is perfect. I don’t regret watching it and I recommend it if you just want to turn off your brain for awhile but just don’t go into it expecting a ton.

Average.

Best Mistake was good even maybe better than Be My Boyfriend until the last few episodes it just went down and down until it wasn't very good anymore, I'd have to say it was just quite average and the two leads liking each other felt forced on Yeondoos part, I get she started liking him but I didn't see any chemistry or anything on her part, more like she just dated him to date him. If she acted like she liked him in the last 3 episodes I'd understand them getting together but she seemed like she didn't care about him. Went downhill fast wouldn't recommend it honestly, there are better web dramas.

Sumpah web dramanya bagus banget menurut saya.
Ceritanya menarik sekali, walaupun aktor dan aktris yang membintangi drama ini kurang dikenal banyak orang di Indonesia. Drama dari KOK TV juga tidak pernah mengecewakan, kalian bisa nonton di youtube atau vlive.
Kalo aku bilang bagus terus orang lain bilang kurang bagus........Ya gimana orang beda-beda.......
Saya disini hanya memberi pendapat saya.
Sama seperti drama lain yang saya review, maaf kalau kata-kata reviewnya sama.
Tapi emang web dramanya bagus kok gk boong.
Saya rekomendasikan juga kalau web drama korea banyak yang bagus, tidak hanya drama tv kabel saja.
Jangan lupa nonton season 2nya yaaaaa......

Really liked this light drama, I've literally devoured it in like three hours or less!
I love the school ambient, but in this one, I LOVED the growth of each character, usually, short dramas tend to be dispersive due to short episodes and really contracted stories that fall into really dumb ones. Luckily that wasn't the case for this drama, really really enjoyed it, 99% gonna rewatch in the future!

Cute but I am always a Second Male Lead fan

I like this one. The whole series, all three seasons, are comical and cute. The episodes are short and easy to binge. I enjoyed most of the show. (Side note: I find their marketing approach throughout it amusingly obvious and completely endearing.)

The criticism I have for it is that there is soooo much drama between the main couple. The build up is wonderful but I found myself rooting for the second male lead. To be fair, it is actually difficult to tell who will get the girl in this drama.

I also really like the side characters. While later seasons are not as original as this one, I think this one is pretty great!

This web drama is warm and nice. It gives lessons on whats essential in life, friends, studies and then sometimes you need to be egoistic/rude to save yourself.
Story was cute and it finished so soon that am in dilemma right now. I didnt like how she starved herself and fainted. Leave the friends, does the parents also dont concern with their child health.
Stalker comes till the home, shouldn't she tell that to her parents..
Acting was good by everyone. When ji hyun ho was acting jealous, he shined.
Music kind of reminded me Burning Ost from Gank your heart. It was really similar.
Overall good drama for change.

Great for a binge

For a drama of short episodes, this packs in a lot of story.
All the things that humans are guilty of doing, not just in school, but adult life too, are incorporated into the plot.
There are characters being labelled and judged based on their appearance (when it should be character), unhealthy obsession, one-sided crushes, jealousy and the spitefulness that brings out, feeling alone/rejected and the importance of friendship.
The cast are pretty natural and suit their roles. I thought some of the best female acting came from supporting cast member Joo Hyun-young, who was convincing as a no-nonsense, level headed and loyal friend.
There were aspects of the story that could have done with being treated more seriously, seeing as the issues were introduced in the first place....
The obsessive character of wannabe boyfriend Heo Jin-soo was no joke; he harrassed, had tailed and got physical with Yeon-doo, all pointing to the possibility his behaviour would escalate further, not to mention using his father's position in the police and bullying tactics (he had no problem using violence or seeing another person get seriously hurt) ~ hopefully consequences will come in S2.
The teacher accusing Hyun-ho with no evidence and in front of the entire class, was also wrong; if that's an example of S.Korean teaching, it's unprofessional and unethical... so much for supporting efforts and welcoming change; I also didn't get why those that knew didn't speak up immediately.
The sudden and prolonged attack from Se-chan was very weird, especially with where that suddenly went, which was bizarre given he seemed to relish the attack. No comeback there though.
I didn't like how not just 1, but 2 characters, 'conformed' and changed their images to fit in with people they liked ~ to me that is a message to youth saying society and peers will never accept you unless you look 'normal', clean-cut and don't stand out unless it's for grades or achievements. I get that in school a uniform isn't just about establishment ~ it's also about belonging and does actually ensure poorer kids aren't as noticeable based on their wardrobe, or those dressed by mum and picked on for it. However, that had nothing to do with this. Instead of the judgemental attitude changing, the character did ~ that's a major let down for me.
This series was pretty entertaining to watch overall though and I liked all the main characters.
Be interesting to see where this goes in S2.

For a web/mini drama, I really had fun watching it. All the actors and actresses that portrays the characters here in this drama is new to me but I already like them, hope to see them in big dramas too. I really like the OST here too, it matches the aura of the drama, youthful and lovely. This drama is cute, I know there is nothing special in this drama but I think the actors and actress really played it well and the story is adorable and bearable. All of them suits the character they play.

Since this is just a web/mini drama my expectations are not that high. And I am not that strict or I don't heavily(?) evaluate web/mini dramas. So far I really love this drama. I'll rate it 10/10 and I think it is good enough to recommend it to someone.

Refreshing

I really liked this little drama, short and very refreshing. Originally I was searching something enjoyable to binge-watch and I found this one. Besides I was in my school drama phase so the timing was perfect !!

It's a story without headache, with a cliché and déja-vu type of storyline. This is a romance in a school where, at the beginning, the ML "hate" the FL, then he starts to grow attached to her and he falls in love as he is spending time with her. It's not complicated, we sit down and devour the episodes one after the other.

I look forward to the season 2 because I really wonder what they are going to do following this ;)
