A sweet romance about a geeky girl and a movie star who transferred to her high school. It was really interesting as it inverted certain stereotypes. I liked the male lead - he was a sweetheart. I liked the fact he was Korean and that his cultural background and family were celebrated as well. The female lead was lovely as well and I related to her a lot, but I felt there was a little overkill when it came to her obsession with homework.
