who needs a love life when this drama exists

Honestly i don't even know what to say or where to even begin.
Story: think of the most cliche, cringe, partly unrealistic plots and picture it all together as a drama and you will get this: my unicorn girl. But do not fret cos when i tell you that even though this drama had all of that, i was addicted from the first episode and binged it all. I don't even know why i decided to watch this, i came across a post on Instagram and just thought it'll be an "on the side if i can be bothered drama" but i invested so much time into this its ridiculous. I mean every accidental kiss had me going crazy and be aware there were loads, not that i'm complaining. Its a basic story, but its cute and fluffy and overall joyful. Its so cliche I cant even stress that enough but that's the best part of it. i'm pretty sure there were a few mistakes here and there and i mean the whole story is questionable in a way but even then it is so worth the watch.

Acting/Cast: i cant even begin to imagine this drama without the people it had. They did a pretty good job and the chemistry the leads had was just *chefs kiss*. i literally watched it for them. Darren Chen as Wen Bing and that's all i have to say. i fell in love with him and now i cant get him off my mind. just watching him being all mischievous and playful its a joy to watch. This drama just suited him so well and i need to see more of this. He just looked incredible and i can't with that. And then there's Sang Tian, innocent little Sang Tian. She was so cute. The actress did pull off that boy look pretty well too. Sang Tian had me tutting at her lil dumbness. ti amo. i can never think of those words the same as how i did before i watched the drama. i just loved her. she was so cute.

Music: i was honestly belting out the songs whenever they played. i kinda have one stuck in my head right now. i cant really say much else but the songs were not bad at all.

Rewatch Value: i honestly want to watch it again right now. i cannot with this drama. i am addicted. even with all its stupid cliche lines and plots, i am addicted.

Overall: Even if cliche and cringe is not your thing at all and you puke at the sight of even one basic romantic comedy plot, I beg you to watch this just for the fact that its full of them. Watch it while its playing in the background or as an on the side if you can be bothered drama like i was going to and just fall in love like i did.

a pointless review that no one asked for

story:
as literally everyone knows, this drama does not follow the webtoon. which on one hand i am happy with, considering the drama needs a development before it can end (jukyung realising beauty is skin deep) and well the webtoon is on going so we aint gotten it yet. so for that, i loved it. i was so happy when the thing she feared and would later empower her happened cause not only did it show character development, which many wanted, but also strength. it taught a good message too.
lets also be real, all the side couples. they were all adorable, especially jukyungs sister and teacher. i loved them.
parts of the story which i wish didnt happen, seojun being unable to move on. look imma be real. for her, suho was the one. i knew. you knew (or if you didnt you do now), everyone knew. it was so obvious, so since it was so obvious i wish scenes where anyone could tell that seojun loved her didnt happen or scenes that had maybe hinted at a something in the future, like that whistle flower scene that had a deeper meaning. it was unnecessarily painful lol. or basically the whole last 2 episodes. im happy shes happy but i cant be happy when seojun is crying alone and shes out their having seggsy time. lmao i know she didnt love him and im not telling her to, im just mad that they made him still love her till the very end cos lets be honest he didnt cry out all his feelings if hes still looking at her like how he did when she put lipstick on for him. ok this is really turning into a rant. lmao. seojun stans amirite.
also in terms of the characters, i wish they werent changed so much. seojun was never that mean. yh he was mad a suho and blamed him, but never called him a murderer which was excessive, and suho wasnt that bland. he had more character.
but the story in general, the change is something needed and so i liked it, i jut wished peoples scenes had stayed theirs (cough suho stealing webtoon seojuns scenes cough)

acting/cast:
moon ga young. absolutely amazing. as she had said in an interview about having to understand jukyung, she did a good job. she really did well considering how mad i was at jukyung at times lmao.
cha eun woo: im mad at people saying he cant act. he can! yh him as suho wasnt as expressive as seojun, but if you think about it, its really cos of the character. suho is pretty plain stoic and cold. hes a lot different than in the webtoon which is a little upsetting but cha eun woo, considering what he is like irl, did a good job acting completely different.
hwang in yeop: i love this man. for someone not having acted for long, the emotions, his eyes. he did an amazing job. the reason i fell for seojun was because in yeop acted so amazingly. heart and soul. i really cannot wait for his future dramas.
park yoo na: from being most loved to most hated to kinda understood, park yoo na is incredible. i cant describe her any better. i really am waiting for the day she plays a charcter that isnt hated at some point, preferably as first female lead.
the rest: the supporting cast, everyone really did do a good job. they all had something about them that just makes you love them. the chemistry between Im Se Mi and Oh Eui Shik. they were literally what i had to finish the drama for. also Kim Min Ki i love him (subscribe to his youtube channel lol)

music:
the OSTs *chefs kiss*
hwang in yeops voice *triple thousand chef kisses*
thats it.

rewatch value:
lmao my rewatch value is 5 because the pain of being a seojun stan is unbearable. i dont ever wanna watch this again because if i was hurt enough so cry on the phone to my friend, and then in front of my parents and brother and sister in law as someone who HATES crying infront of people, then nope! i will however be watching the sad edits of seojun when i need a few couple thousand tears to shed.

overall:
honestly, think basic kdrama with cheesy plot lines and a heart breaking love triangle which isnt even a triangle but is, then youll get this.
although i regret having watched this, i dont regret it at the same time. the message was beautiful, and although everyone but seojun was happy, it was an alright ending. it just really sucked when they threw away seojuns character like that. but watch this as a suho stan and you shall be happy.

*cheering in the background*
thank you, thank you
