High School - Love On, Ep1
High School RomCom? Where do I sign up!
Characters:
Shin Woo Hyun is the high school boy that everyone has a crush on. He's sweet, he's kind, he takes care of his grandmother, he does okay in school, he doesn't show any one girl a preference. He also winds up in life or death situations with a startling regularity.
Lee Seul Bi is a Grim Reaper with enough boredom in the job to make Jung Il Woo's Scheduler or Georgia Lass proud. She's also obsessed with K-dramas, so you know, she's totally relatable.
Don't let the rest of the casting announcements confuse you. These are the only two characters we really care about.
Central Conceit:
This one's pretty straight forward. Lee Seul Bi accidentally saves Shin Woo Hyun's life and has to become human herself. Like any other fish out of water story, she needs to learn how to be human and do basic things (like use chopsticks, which is cute).
We have all the elements for adorable: living together, one character who doesn't know how to be human, high school, oh, and, of course, birth secrets!
P.S.
This is a 20 Episode Friday only drama. That means the story is going to go a whole lot slower than normal and have a whole lot less depth. And this is NOT me complaining. High School Dramas can manage as surface level cute.
