    The worst acting

    The boys where really handsome ' but acting was reallybad . I agreed with kiss sceneses it looked real but the s+x scene was not good enough and although they looked a little bit scared . I dont know why but i did not feel any emotions in this drama unlike other korean shows such the night flight and to my star and you make me dance which where full of romantic scenes and emotions .

    It does not deserve to watch it.

    Cute and simple story

    I really liked the chemistry between two main characters. The storyline was pretty basic, but cinematography and actors made it work!

    Cha Siwon is this guy that really cares about his popularity status and wants to be likes by everyone (because he wasn't at all popular when he was younger).

    Meanwhile Hyeong Da Un is already this cool, and also popular guy that does not to impress anyone.

    The last episode is unfortunately really rushed and quite confusing regarding what happened. However, at least I am happy that there was happy ending with promising future for both characters.

    I would like to watch this short series as a full long 2nd season / movie.

    WORTH TO WATCH !

    Have just finished watching all blueming ep yesterday. Truly i'm amazed with all the storyline and adaptation. From the cinematic scene, the acting, scenery, emotions, skinship and chemistry between both actor, and background extras. All is perfect, no less. People should give blueming a watch and rate the story yourself. IMO I think this series deserve much more attention and love from all.

    Ps: Also I love the top so much, loves how he portray the character from the manga so well and deep emotions release from his acting. I'll give 10/10 myself for this series.

    Best series hands down!

    Best series hands down! I can't believe it's so short- I felt so attached to the characters in the end that it was send to say goodbye. 💔 I rewarched it several times already! The story was amazing with a powerful message, the cinematography was outstanding (so many beautiful shots), the character depth, the amazing acting(I cried at several points) - breath taking! I loved that it felt raw and honest. There were no overreacting or silly dialog.

    The story will definitely stay with me for a long time, that's how good it is. Lastly and most importantly I lovedddddd that the series used alot of "show don't tell" it made it so more powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤😭❤😭

    Sweet, beautiful and relatable

    This drama really is nicely filmed, and i like the pace of the drama as well. Both male leads are well acted and the story is quite refreshing. Hope more people can watch it.
