The story is fresh and engaging.

Keeps you hooked. Not even one low point.

Beautiful cinematography. Every frame looked spectacular.

Good production design- actually looks like the 19th century. Apt costumes and make-up.

Good and convincing performances by all.

The characters have depth, and are well-written.

The film doesn't tell you what or who is right. Leaves it to the audiences to decide for themselves. When exactly does our faith become blind?

I feel that blind faith and patriarchy have always been a dangerous mix. The film portrays that very well.

A must watch for all cinephiles.

Omgg...Absolutely adored the film! A remarkable coming of age film... This story is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same times❤😭.... Didn't see the end coming at all. Hats off to the writer! The screenplay is brilliant as well.... The romance between the two main leads is so pure and heartfelt. Very good performances by all actors. A shoutout to the actors who played Bo-ra and Woon-ho..... You'll like it if you like sweet heartwarming romance.........I wish people were so innocent in real life too.

Also, Woon-ho💔😭 What a character! You fall in love with him. Such a well-written character.

My 1st Chinese series. I can't gush more about how much I liked this series😭 Such a well-written show with such fleshed out characters (except for Younian who is unrealistically perfect). If you see the story looks cliche' on the face of it (I mean, a geeky girl falling for a popular guy and then becomes beautiful), BUT the story's been told in such a fresh manner with subtle nuances that you fall in love with the characters. Thank God, no overnight fashion makeovers! The transformation happens at a slower pace, much like real life (I didn't like the equivalence of beauty with fair complexion though. Colourism is unacceptable) Personally, I found the student life more relatable than what is shown in the Western teen shows.
