Hi. If you have never seen this show, I highly highly suggest you see it. This is my favorite kdrama EVER. Like ik i was an X1 stan and liked Yohan but that's literally not even the only reason why. Okay so I found this show right when it came out and it was so bright, and cute, and happy and... relatable? Soli is just the most adorable girl and she's always smiling. And idk, she just made me so much happier. Like I never kinned a character but literally I love her so much. Also this show is so soft and pretty and (I'm obsessed with the OSTs and stuff-) it's just... A BEAUTIFUL LOVE LIKE IDK HOW TO WRITE OUT MY FEELINGS I LITERALLY LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH. I really really REALLY REALLY want a season 2. Listen... I don't usually get this attached to a series... Like I watched Hello My Twenties almost three times and have loved Dodosolsollalasol and Startup like crazy but this is different. I'm actually attached to this show so badly I love it so much. When I realized it was ending (yesterday was the last episode), I cried. I literally broke down. This show has given me happiness and a more positive outlook on life. It isn't just a distraction-happy show where I'm sad after the ep is over, but the happiness stayed with me. Please this show is so cute and wonderful I wish a season would come... I waited the whole season to write a review. So, in conclusion, A Love So Beautiful is the most wonderful kdrama I have seen... I've seen a lot and yes this is a simple light-hearted show, but the simplicity of the love and life is so... it relates to me on the same level. Being a student and trying to live out your dream, yk? Anyway, this is the longest review I've written besides writing NCT album reviews haha.... If the cast/director sees this, I beg you for a season 2!! Please! But thank you so much for this show, it has genuinely made me happy in the time I needed something uplifting most.... <3 Tysm.

A Love So Beautiful

So I had to read 1984 by George Orwell for my summer reading assignment, and despite being a book I was being FORCED to read, it was pretty good. Besides the sexual content in the book (yes, this is a warning for those who want to avoid that), it was a powerful text that illustrated a society under the control of a totalitarian government. This novel has made a great impact on me and helped me to realise the power of thoughts, human relationships, and the importance of your consciousness. It was truly an interesting novel, and at first, skimming through the pages I thought it would be boring. But! It turned out it was a lot more exciting than I first suspected. Ngl, a good pick from my school haha :D

Okay LISTEN. I had to read this book for my Humane Letters course and it is by far the best book I had read that whole year. Usually, I would drag through the novels given to me and it would take me so long to actually FORCE myself to annotate, but in TKAM my pages had notes everywhere. This book is really spectacular-- its storyline, its characters, and ofc, its values. I really recommend it!! The trial, the coming of age for both Scout and Jem, UGH I cannot say how much I love it. My best friends and I who are separated by school district ended up reading the same book for classes coincidentally, and we all literally obsessed over it together?!?! That sounds so stupid but I'm not even kidding on twitter we would be like WHAT CHAPTER ARE YOU ON? This novel is so thoughtful, and at the same time entertaining, also Dill is hilarious, read it!!

To Kill a Mockingbird

Okay... it's honestly a pretty confusing book when I first read it. I also had to reread some pages multiple times to actually understand what Lewis was trying to say. However, it is well thought out and envisions how men would become if leaving behind moral values, etc. Actually, I had to watch a youtube video to really, fully understand men without chests. But once you get the gist of what Lewis is saying it's a lot easier to understand the rest of it. Also, I think it would have been a better book if he weren't so philosophical and nerdy-- because like that makes it harder to process. But other than that, it was okay.

If I were to be honest about F451, it's a pretty boring book if you are looking for a great storyline. Guy's life is depressing (at least to me) and the setting seems gray and lonely (which it is). To read as a pleasure novel? Not the best choice. To read for a good lesson and understanding the importance of knowledge? Pick it up. F451 has a dry plot, and the characters' lives are not as interesting as I would have liked-- then again everyone has different expectations-- but the thesis and morals of the novel are very strong. I suggest you read this if you are a bit older? Maybe eighth grade and up because it can be a slow and tiring book if you don't understand why you are reading it.

Fahrenheit 451

A very classy book might I say... I had to read this one for my Humane Letters course as well, and the professor crammed it into the curriculum the last week of school haha! I would say that it would have been a much more appreciated book if I were to read it over more than 3 days. That's what I'm suggesting-- don't rush this book. I was not able to take in the beauty of the sea and a man's relationship with the nature of it because it had been a rushed read. This book is a relaxing story, and so innocent, yet you can find so many good details and depth within its pages. If you're looking for a short and simple novel, but with a lot of thought put into it, then this is the one for you <33
