SPOILER: Elle luuuuvs this drama  …. Spring of Youth is a short, sweet college idol drama, and the actual definition of unserious.  Elle and Maddie have never seen a drama cram this amount of plot into the first two episodes, and they’re cracking up because they cannot begin to guess where this story is going.

Name a completely under-appreciated 10/10 drama - I’LL GO FIRST!! … Undercover High School is a great kdrama. It has comedy, action, romance, mystery, intrigue.
