Cute cute cute!

Basically take Addicted but a G-rated, extremely cute-ified version with NONE of the parental drama. And throw in a sport (volleyball). So the story is simple: new kid is forced to join volleyball team and falls in love w/a senior on the team.

But man oh man the acting. Both MLs did phenomenal but the actor who played Yu Hao was brilliant. Umm first of all what a babe (honestly both ML actors are eye candy for days, trust me). But beyond that, the way in which this actor looked at his partner just hits you at the core. When you watch it, you'll see what I mean, The acting from both was believable, real, and breezy. It never felt awkward and was just insanely cute to watch.

Oh and yes, steamy kissing scenes galore for all the smut fans (myself included).

I sped through the first season by forwarding and getting the gist of most of the characters and their stories. Typically stories about cold and uncaring male leads and clingy female leads can be a turn off, though for some reason I still make myself suffer through them because something about watching that annoying male lead fall in love with the female lead is brings me back every time. So the first season didn't really leave an impression on me.

The second season was suggested to me on Netflix and I decided to give it a shot because it's the Holidays and I'm at home being a bum. I'm legit so happy I gave the second season a shot! Basically it's a vast improvement from the first season. The characters feel more real, the acting is a lot better and more believable, and I weirdly found myself rooting for the female protagonist! I absolutely adored her character growth this season and watching her become the character she became at the end was such a treat. Heck even the male lead and his character growth was wonderful to watch! Their acting as they mature into adults and fully understand their love for each other was the highlight of the last few episodes.

Be warned, the Second Lead Syndrome is SO powerful in this one. Good God the second male lead was such a gem! He had me rooting for him till the very end. What a delightful character.

All in all, I definitely recommend this. Even if you are turned off by the cold male lead-clingy and hopelessly romantic female lead trope, don't let that deter you. This show isn't what you think it'll be in the best way possibly.
