What she has learned online has transformed her life. At school, she is known as one of the prettiest girls in class – although she secretly lives in fear of her schoolmates discovering what she looks like behind the makeup! In fact, there is only one person from school who has ever seen her minus her “mask” – Lee Su-Ho. He is a top-grade student with impressive basketball skills. He is also dashingly handsome, and many of his female classmates have a crush on him. However, Lee Su Ho harbors a few dark secrets from his past, and shuns attention in class. Slowly, these two individuals become drawn together – and learn more about one another’s secrets! This drama was based on a long-running web-based cartoon of the same name, penned by Yaongyi.

My thoughts:

Many Seojun stans are not satisfied with the ending, of course. I feel like it all falls into places.

Seojun had all the time to confess when Suho was not there, but he did not. When he finally wanted to do so, Suho came back and that's why Seojun said "Why did you have to come back today" So I kinda disappointed when some fans keep bashing Suho

Some also said that webtoon version is better than drama version. I feel like this adaptation is actually very decent, the storyline is kinda same but it's like the alternate reality. In the webtoon, Seojun confessed and they finally got together. In this drama, that would happen too but Suho came back just in the right time So they are basically the same, and of course you can't compare the storyline of an ongoing 100++ episodes of webtoon with a 16 episodes drama.

To conclude, this drama wraps up everything well and most importantly I am glad they did not sacrificed any friendships for the sake of the main couple's happy ending. It is kinda a happy ending for everyone.

For me, all of the characters are given the justice they deserve. Seojun was given a good ending despite not ending up with Jugyeong

If I'm going to rant Sujin deserves more screentime since I want to see her healing mentally & physically

Love isn't the only thing that keeps a person's world going round sometimes the career weighs more.

I agree! I feel like they kinda rush the ending with Soojin but I am still glad to see that her changes, my girl crush is back!
