Can't believe they decided to ditch the fundamental parts of the story (heavy bullying/trauma) to make it a pretty people romcom.

So who knows anything about the OP? Sounds good, maybe I need to move from Jpop to Kpop?

@FutoiOtaku Kpop is fantastic, but why abandon Jpop? Listen to both, my friend!

Wording… ok, maybe I’ll expand in the kpop direction then…

as a webtoon reader who watched the disaster that was the kdrama adaptation.... this was somehow worse

Calling the kdrama a disaster is a lot, and this anime adaptation is not even a disaster, is way worse than that

The drama was horrible imo, (from acting to plot) but to each their own.
I agree the anime is absolutely worse. I hate the voice acting, although it's cool that it's in Korean and not Japanese. With how rushed it is... ugh.
Plus, with both the kdrama and anime, it seems everyone is scared to make Jugyeong a character that isn't conventionally attractive without makeup. Which is what plays into the whole "learning to love yourself" theme, but whatever😭

It's been a while since I watched an Aeni, and although the premise isn’t something entirely new, I liked the pacing. I don’t understand what’s going on with the excessive bullying in Korean schools. I know that in Korea, using makeup in schools or among men is very normalized, but I think a large amount of foundation would be noticeable unless the makeup tutorials the protagonist watched were magical and made her look natural.

As for the OP and ED, they weren’t too bad, but they gave me the strange feeling of an intro to a pre-teen Disney or Nickelodeon series

I read the Webtoon, so I know what to expect in terms of the story, and I gotta say the pacing so far is quite fast. Also, I can't help but find the cast for VAs kinda unbearable, but maybe it'll grow on me. Other than that, it's pretty okay thus far, it does look good visually.
@Moiloru I also found the pacing to be way too fast! Didn’t really allow us to connect with the main girl

Animation is fine, but not liking the pace at all. Literally jumping from one scene to another without any clear plot. Kinda disappointed after watching the kdrama and reading the webtoon ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

ikr? 😭
I've been hoping this would get a anime, but kinda a disappointing start with the pacing 😭 and they changed the keychain she drops to a earbud? :/ (if I remember correctly)

This is some like Disney channel garbage and the voice acting isn't good. The message is terrible too but I guess it makes sense from the plastic surgery capital.

its very fast paced, which is kinda expected since it's being adapted into an anime, but it's too fast. And they changed some tiny details like the earbud she lost in the store. other than that its a cutesy type of show so far

I know is different but the drama adaption (aka the live action) is better showing the bullying of the main character. This animated adaption is too fast in my opinion showing the beginning of the story.

@TheSekiryuutei That's more or less what I expected from the premise, and I almost didn't watch it as a result. Even when I decided to give it a chance, I expected to give up in disgust 5 minutes in, but I didn't. In fact, from the episode I actually got the impression it was going to end up with a different message completely. We'll see, but I'm hoping it won't turn out like you say.

I found this first episode way too fast! The messages of the K-Drama are completely forgotten and the dubbing is really disastrous. It's a real shame because the animation and the character design are magnificent and the opening and the ending are adorable!

the voice acting isn't good.


I'm having a hard time deciding if the voice acting is bad, or just the sound mixing. The characters are way too softly spoken. I'm not sure if I even understood Korean if I could hear what they are saying. The dialogue stood out to me as bad though...
It’s time to ditch the text file.
