For a romantic coming of age drama it has all the ingredients needed. Problem is, I'm more interested in the romances of the other characters, since the relationship of the main characters is pure self-inflicted. At any point she can follow him to find out if she's just part of a harem. She can say she needs more or keep very strict boundaries. It's so much inaction and doubt - yes that perhaps fits the age group. But also character, which is the writer's choice. At that age I preferred making mistakes I could learn from than sticking with a routine. Perhaps that's why it's less relatable for me. The constant worry about reputation is relatable as I've been brought up in a religious family, taught to care a lot about things are perceived. But it also is not pleasant to watch and the way educators warn about gossip affecting you in later life is downright nauseating. Still, as a teen drama nagivating love versus lust - it works and may even be considered progressive for Korean standards as it does try to not be judgemental about 'just sex' relationships.

Just from reading the synopsis it turned out to be as rancid as it sounds exactly! This feels it was made for a college group project while trying to be edgy and trendy. The standards keep getting lower nowadays.
