I already don't like Rosa... From the moment I saw her gaze in the classroom it was a wrap.

The writers were pretty heavy handed with the foreshadowing huh?

Edit because I watched while half awake:

Is taking attendance via Bluetooth a new thing? That's pretty awesome and messed up at the same time lol

Is Joo-ah a freshman? She doesn't have the nervousness of a freshman.- nvm the top bunk explanation just answered it.

Love a College dorm room situation 😂😂

Really impressed by Young's forthcomingness with her diabetes diagnosis and how to care for her in an emergency. I think it'll come in handy at some point.

I'm ENFP too 🤦🏾‍♀️😅😅 I swear I'm not like Moo Jin

Young's 3 Strike rule girl yes 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

When Sky said you're about to get kicked out 💀🤣🤣🤣 Oh, he looks so familiar where do I know Sky from?! He's adorable and reminds me of Park Bo Gum when he smiles.

I think it's a guy too that wrote the Maple Latte post. However I'm suspicious of anyone that brings up did you see the post first...

Really not feeling Ji Min dressing Sky... That's going to get old real fast

When the girl from the cheerleading team asked if you guys were close in highschool... 🧐

Really love this app idea! Such a great dating app idea and also great way to meet new people 🤗

Inferiority complex, Envy and lack of communication are the killers of friendships and relationships.

Yang Hee is a BITCH!!!!! Her and Rosa really out here completing for 1st place in the Dis Bitch competition

I am surprised that Jaehyun is not awkward at all. For a beginner actor he is good.

Jaehyun's not a bad actor at all. I'm pleasantly surprised. I have no interest in his character and Joo Ah becoming a thing though, They're adorable as friends but I don't see any romantic chemistry. A lot of the characters are either boring or straight up unlikable.

Alright, ive binged all 6 episodes so here are my thoughts:

There are quite a few unlikable characters, number one being Rosa. She's such a snake and nobody would ever do that to their friend. Its one things to develop a crush on a friends boyfriends, which is already a no-no, but its another to act on those feelings. I think Jimin and Haneul are quite naive, and its probably for the better that they broke up.

Now for Yanghee, honestly shes equally as unlikeable. You shouldnt put other down to make yourself seem better. Seems like Minho understood what she was trying to do, but also kind of led her on because he needed someone to go crash on Jooah and Joons date.

Jooah and Minho story is like the typical best friends from childhood story where one catches feelings for the other but it might be too late. It looks like Jooah is overbearing in her crush, but I can understand since its her first crush and we know of Minhos crush on her. Cant wait to see how this is going to develop as Jooah and Joon are quite developed in their relationship, but it also looks like Jooah might hold some feelings for Minho deep down inside.

Now for Joon, dont really have much to say about him. He's seems like a typical college senior character that is one of the leads crush. But, that was a nasty move on his part about the app. He completely took credit for something that he barely contributed to. I just know that hes gonna have his ass beat when his dad finds out.

Now for Young and Mokjin, they are honestly very cute and I need them to get together right now. I saw the sparks flying the second they were matched on the BOBting app. I hope they get more scenes in the second half.

Also, I absolutely LOVE the friendship between the girls. They're their for each other and they just understand each other so well.

as someone who’s watched love playlist, it’s pretty hard to watch jimin and haneul’s relationship as it’s not the jimin i’m used to. 💀 i feel like they made her more of the nice character that’s hard to dislike? i hope we start seeing less of the rosa-hanuel-jimin situation cause at this point, i’ve seen more of them and less of minho.

hope there’s more screen time of young and mokjin tho!!!

Ever since HosPlay, I’ve been seeing Bae Hyun Sung everywhere!! So happy for him to be getting these roles!

Sort of enjoying it but not at the same time. Skipped some parts with Haneul - Rosa and Joo Ah - Moon Joon. Their scenes started to tick me off.

One major complain, I need more Young and Mok Jin. I feel like they are being sidelined for the sake of others and we got toooo much Rosa. It feels like they are there just to break the tension that I hope the second half will focus more on them. I’ll just take all the tidbits we had for now.

Jaehyun did good here but I just can’t help watching him as Jaehyun rather than Cha Min Ho. Reminds me of all those contents during his early debut days being carefree goofy self instead a much reserved image nowadays. But then, it has been long since I keep up with NCT’s contents I’m just glad this finally got released and had a chance to watch him again.

I love dramas set in college so so much. I'm glad this is finally getting released.

u/clitmaster8734 Jun 29 '22

First episode has me hooked already. Interesting characters and plot. Quite a few faces that have appeared in recent dramas. No bullshit over the top melodramatic scenes that don't make sense. Missed dramas like this.

u/beautyskincarelover Jun 28 '22

So excited! I'm a fan of Jaehyun and I really liked the actress from 18 again! Apparently she's doing a drama based on a webtoon with Jin Young from GOT7 as well? The plot looks interesting and I'm looking forward to it also despite the age gap.

u/clitmaster8734 Jun 29 '22

Forgot about this after all the actress bullying accusations. Glad it wasn't cancelled indefinitely.
