Super adorable series! It was so funny and so cute. Total feel good series. Reminded you of all the little moments that feel momentous when we fall in love. Highly recommend as it's entertainment value was high. All the characters were great and all the storylines nicely developed. While predictable it was a joy to watch. Another great K-drama!!!

Girl has had a crush on the boy next door since forever. Boy is not interested in the slightest, is scornful and dismissive of her. Ugh.

Enter a sports jock, a star swimmer with a kind and generous personality, who takes a great liking to girl.

Suddenly the loser next door (typical dog in the manger) is piqued and jealous that she's actually got someone interested in her, and ends up behaving badly.

This goes on: we see the years move forward semester by semester.

Kdramas have a ridiculous habit of getting their middle aged and wrinkled actors to don a bad wig and play themselves back in high school. Luckily this doesn't happen here.

The female lead plays an effervescent high schooler so effectively and when she's all grown up in her 30's her body language and mannerisms change accordingly. I was so impressed with her acting ability and her cheerful smile.

I think if I hadn't watched the Chinese version first, I probably would've enjoyed this one more. With that said, the main problem I had with this one was the casting. While both lead characters did their best to portray their character, the main problem I had was their age disparity. It was too obvious that he was much younger than her. It was fine for him when he was in high school. But for her, it was pretty clear that she wasn't that age. Fast forward to when they are suppose to be in college and beyond. It fits her, but it was hard to picture him as a medical student let alone a doctor unless he's suppose to be Doogie Howser. He just looked too young and obviously younger than her. And I think that distracted a bit from the overall story. But as a whole, the series is still pretty good and if we take it separate from the other series, it's a decent watch.

Can't help but to notice she female principal actress doesn't look young enough ... her profile is according to her age 27ish... She is pretty but doesn't match with the test of the cast unless she is smiling ... still a good show to watch

The series follows the life's and loves of a group of students over their lives at school onto the success in their particular careers. A light fluffy story with the occasional very funny incidents. If you want an easy watch with heartwarming friendships you won't go wrong here.
