Description
After Yongcheol's mother suddenly faints on the day of her college entrance exam, her world is turned upside down. She starts working to pay for the hospital bills, but one day after work, a university jacket randomly lands on top of her head. Inside the jacket, she finds the ID card of a student named Chaeyeon Lee. One thing leads to another, and she starts impersonating that student. While things seemed all right initially, the real Chaeyeon finally shows up. How will Yongcheol explain her way out of this, and does this mean the end of school for her?

AAAAAGGGHH this one gives me such mixed feelings. Rant:
Summary, less specific non-detailed spoilers:
Overall! I think I feel... disappointed. The FMC was just willing roadkill that no one would commit to fully running over. The side characters were either too perfect or too shitty to support. The drama started feeling over the top because the FMC just had to be absolutely miserable all the time. The romance was frustrating because I could see "the end" alarmingly early in their relationship which made it an annoying waiting game. And the ending was an irritating culmination of "do the right thing" after so many characters were in-your-face "screw everyone else, I need this to benefit me, me, me".
Despite all this, I quite liked Mr. End Game... Even stuck in The Friend Zone, he was a really good character.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
First, the FMC is way too nice and way too quick to apologize & take the blame for EVERYTHING. She didn't argue with anyone when it mattered, she didn't stand up for herself when it mattered-- she sees the bus loudly annouce it's going to run her over and just stands there and gets run over.
Second, the side female characters all suck. They're all obsessed with their crushes/exes/inferiority complexes and it makes them all so nasty. Even the FMC's friends aren't as supportive as you would hope they'd be. I realize how stuck people get in a "Know Your Place" culture but how could you say that to a friend and not immediately regret it?? How?!
Third, tagging this series as primarily "romance" feels... inaccurate (looking at your betrayal, Webtoon *eyes*). Mr. Perfect was never end game & their relationship felt very background side story and when the breakup happened it happened pretty close to how I'd been expecting for more than half the story. Mr. End Game did the usual suffering in the friend zone but never got his chance in the main story-- BUT! The series ended with a VERY short "5 Years Later" full of potential hope and the perfect lead-in... for fanfic writers everywhere to go ham. *sigh*
Fourth, why does the "perfect ending" have to be: they turned themselves into the police because it was "the right thing to do"? Why does doing the right thing result in a tarnished record because of one lapse in judgement? No one got hurt. NO ONE. Because of the characters' individual selfishness not even the schools' reputation took a hit.
Fifth, that blue haired bitch didn't suffer AT ALL. She tried so desperately to ruin the FMC's life-- SEVERAL TIMES-- INCLUDING things that could be considered illegal actions-- and nothing came of it. NOTHING.
Sixth, the more I think about the title, the more I dislike it. "Exchange Student" would have been perfect for a season two that focused on Mr. End Game + FMC (that convoluted reunion with extremely low chances of actually happening by accident) while "Student Exchange" would really fit the story as it is right now. Not sure if that was a translation issue or if someone missed the perfect naming opportunity but oh well. I'm just being nitpicky now.

idk, the whole concept for me is nonsense. trying to get away with it-situations are not my cup of tea. rooted for her with seonbae but im guessing that wouldn't be it. checked the final ep and sure was right to drop it as the ending seemed rushed and eh. just eh.
