Why you should watch this?

The actors fit with their roles and the way they perform and expresses their emotions really brings out our own emotions. The way Yeo Jun showed his emotions when he opened up about his painful world was so touching that you definitely need tissues nearby. Seeing Nam Soo-Hyun struggling with his life to earn money reveals a bit part of the real-world out of the drama as well. Besides the cast, the story line and the acting, this drama concentrates on the struggles of college students and thus feels like a realistic drama. We also get to know that the way some people presents themselves is maybe not their true self. We should be aware or have it in our mind that if everything seems good, perhaps there are worse things that happened before.
