I liked the direction this drama was taking but didn't really like how the story was progressing. I like how some issues were discussed and portrayed in the drama and how they were taken seriously and not used as a means of getting laughs. The way the characters progressed and matured was quite nice. I would say that I liked this drama and enjoyed it at times but found it to be a bit dragging and dull at some parts. I honestly finished this drama because I love Eun Woo and because I wanted to know how it ends and what happens to some characters.

The first half was good, they tackled a cliche topic in an interesting and well-achieved way. The second half was a waste of time for me, very slow and the main couple very bored and childish.
The performances were not remarkable, Cha Eun Woo improved a lot but he was forced to act like a tough guy.
The soundtrack was the best.
I'll give a 7.5 to the first half and a 7 to the second half, wishing that jTBC do a better job in his next drama.

Episode average rating: 7.37 (+ 0.15 for the music + 0.15 for acting) = 7.62 total rating, rounded up to 8/10:star:

I think it was pretty fun, but I'm a huge fan of slice-of-life series set in college, so this was right up my alley. Leads were endearing and the romance was wholesome. Standout from the series in terms of execution was the [spoiler]reconciled mother-son relationship[/spoiler]. The side characters and their stories weren't that interesting lol but I do have a huge crush on Yoo Eun; Park Youna is gorgeous.

I didn't mind Eunwoo's performance at all, and thought that he acted well enough for who his character was. I'm actually not a fan of stoic male leads (I prefer goofier personalities like Wooyoung) but I liked Kyungsuk well enough here; the episode where we [spoiler]had to budget money and find work[/spoiler] was particularly funny to me. The fact that I could tell what he was thinking and feeling from his micro expressions, considering we never hear this actual thoughts in the show, is impressive.

[spoiler](Also in my head Sua is a lesbian and ends up finding true love with Eun)[/spoiler]

Let’s talk about how this came before True Beauty and Chan Euwoo literally played the same character twice. Difference is, True Beauty was a little bit more light hearted and I felt that Gangnam might’ve been slightly darker in comparison. Nice watch but found it to be slow.

there are a lot of better kdramas out there but this one has Cha Eun-woo <3

Almost painfully cute couple - check
MC with low self-esteem but great sense of style who can totally stand up for herself - check
Antagonist you can despise the guts of until about the last episode - check
Some positive messages that are quite straightforwardly addressed - check

Overall: fun, if a bit slow after the first couple episodes.

>> True Beauty in College setting

Decent !! If you have watched True Beauty this has similar performance ; only that True Beauty is more entertaining and FLs struggles were more relatable.

CHa EUn-woo does the usual cool , chic guy that girls swan over and Im Soo-Hyang is the FL with insecurities.

We also a decent third wheels in Hyun Soo-A and Woo-Young ; although you would want to punch Soo-A through the screen the actor has really carried the show on the shoulders [spoiler] how crazy is it she breaks up all the couples .. guys and girls she doesn't care about [/spoiler]

Watch it if you are interested in a college dating show with fore-warned bullying and body shaming.
