Serendipity's Embrace
(2024 - Viki, 8 1:10 eps)

What could have been a very cliche story about a cold, smart, successful ML encountering his 1st love, who isn't interested in relationships, ends up being refreshing. Common tropes seem about to happen but tiny twists, like communicating, setting boundaries, & advocating for yourself keep the story fresh.

Great chemistry between all the couples, with great acting. The 3rd ML needs a main role soon. It's short, so the themes are a bit shallow. The story wraps things up nicely with justification for the characters' actions (except one - without much backstory, it's hard to understand the reasoning).

It's a cute, mostly fluffy romance with many high school flashbacks. We see the leads grow to understand themselves better. It definitely could be a comfort watch, but don't expect profound revelations.
