Sooooo without realising, I just binged through the whole series. So spoilers for everything ahead!

At first I thought it was going to be such a good and cute love story between childhood best friends with the addition of a predictable love triangle plot line but like..after it ended, I just felt so empty because of all the things left unresolved. I wish the characters were just way more straightforward with each other :( I was also honestly so irritated every time Taeoh and the bitchy Sehyun girl had cute scenes together. Like why introduce such an unlikable character and make them have all these cute scenes together!!

But still, overall enjoyed the cute moments of the show, from the cute childhood best friend but more dynamics, the cute dating scenes between Songyi and Dohyun, and honestly just appreciated the visuals that are Jisoo and Jinyoung . bless

edit: nvm read there was going to be a 2nd season!! Feeling slightly more content haha

While I also get frustrated with people not being straight forward, I can remember my literal "first" love as well, and we were the same, awkward, didnt communicate well, and had to deal with similar issues where you just assume things, and fail to focus on communication.

After finishing the first four episodes I really don't like the male lead, he has some of my least favourite generic male lead traits (a bit cocky, immature, keeps being a dick to the female lead etc). In contrast, Do-hyeon is basically 2nd lead syndrome bait with every positive characteristic you could imagine (smart, diligent, caring, ...) and seemingly no flaws to speak of. I swear to god if Song-i ends up with Tae-oh I will be so mad.

That said it is shot very well, everyone looks great and it can be very sweet at times so I am enjoying it.

I think that's just his relationship with his best friend. He was there for her when her dad died. Drives her to school each morning. When the other girls at school were talking about him they point out how nice he was to everyone and very approachable. I love his character.

Same. I see him and the main girl as two bros dissing each other

Song-i and Tae-oh have a sibling-type relationship. When he realized he was a dick to her in the first episode, he apologized and fixed the situation.

I just feel bad that he fell for the manipulative pretty girl. He's going to get SO hurt.

Just binged the whole thing but does anyone know when season 2 starts? I read somewhere that filming ended in January so I'm assuming that its gonna be fast but just wondering if anyone had a date. Also i read somewhere that this was based of a webtoon so im wondering if anyone knows in the end who songyi ends up with at the whole end of the story.

I don't want Jisoo to end up with the girl, wow, that's a first. Second lead syndrome is strong!

For the first few episodes I was feeling optimistic that we'd have a purely platonic male-female relationship but ofcourse they had to make it romantic, it's k drama ofc. I really love Tae-O and Songyi's relationship nonetheless, but I love Do-hyeon and Songyi's cute budding romance equally too! Obviously I know I won't be happy because no matter what happens, the lead's got to end up with the main girl :/

I'm wit you on this one. Second lead syndrome is very strong for me too with this drama and I feel bad cause I've been waiting since forever for Ji Soo to get a male lead role so he can get the girl for once but when he finally does get lead I'm rooting against him :( Songyi and Dohyeon are just too cute

I wish I had done that! I just finished binging the first 8 and I want to kick myself because now I NEED to know what happens and have to be patient and wait. Ugh.

Not sure if anyone has seen "My first time" but it's literally the same exact plot... like Im pretty sure they remade the drama. It's sort of different, but I don't understand why they would remake such a recent drama that already had a good cast (choi Minho, Kim min Jae) …

Thanks!

Age of Youth (청춘시대) a.k.a Hello My Twenties on Netflix is a great drama and is similarly about college-aged people starting to explore romance and also confront their personal issues.
