| I'm not loving the voice acting for now I think. And I've watched the kdrama so I keep expecting the same voices 😅 I like the adaptation so far! |
 |
| This is likely gonna be the first Korean animated series I’ve ever seen |
 |
| Watched the PV and can't stand the girl's voice...call me if they redub in Japanese. |

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
| @Oishy_14 I think the same. I didn't like the webtoon because the author kept pushing the series with new conflicts just to keep earning more money or something but the drama is one of my favourites (I even started watching kdramas after that lol) and is disappointing how the series is so rushed, and childish? Even the bullying didn't look like a big deal here while Jukyung tried to f**ng jump from a building in the drama series LOL And I liked how they expanded the story of her family members also. |

is this the first anime made by a korean animation studio?
| @AmeKnite Actually, no. There's plenty of Aeni (Korean name for animation) that were also created by Korean studios. But I'd admit that they're mostly missed marks nearly everywhere (story, art, and dubbing specifically) and rarely released, it's hard to find great aeni tbh. Dunno if this correlates to the issues I've said earlier, but animation adaptation were outsourced/created by Japanese and Chinese studios lately. Also oddly, Korean aeni in recent years, they spams BL instead bruh. |

| 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 It's called My Hightlight, by Jo Yuri, former member of the legendary girl group IZ*ONE and now soloist :) |
| 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 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. |
| 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! |
TophSmash said: 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... |
