It is a story about love,
it is a depiction of a time,
it is an ode to teenage friendship
and cherishing all the relationships we build.
It is also about pursuing your goals
even when life throws you with the hardest time.

Friendly warning:
watching this story unfold could make you look like a person that's gone insane,
it'd make you laugh for one minute and then you'll find yourself crying the next.
The main characters are so full of depth and real character
that you can't help but live and laugh and tearing up alongside them.
Some of the things they have to go through is not at all common or tolerable for their age,
because of each other, they fought through the tough times,
and came through giggling and thriving despite it all.

김태리 and 남주혁's acting is impeccable.
They certainly proved what it takes to be the top of the chain
with their performance in some of these episodes.
Aside from all the light-hearted moments,
it's their portrayal of the hardest days,
and how their bond get them through the bad times,
that make them shine all the more as the stars they already are.

Korean only releases 2 episodes a week,
which is so hard for an audience.
It does stretch the screening time for longer,
instead of just 1 month for those shows from China.
But a week is truly a long wait for a story that's so captivating.
So if you're like me and hate the waiting,
you could choose to start binging it in April -
when all the episodes have been released.
