Short & super cute Korean animated trilogy you can finish in about 90 minutes. It was as if K-drama was animated — tropey and predictable, yet wholesome at the same time. I'll be rating the whole series in this review.

I suggest you watch the series in canonical order for maximum enjoyment:

A day before us Zero Episodes 1-18 (prequel)
A day before us season 1
A day before us season 2
A day before us Zero episode 19 (epilogue)

Story: 7/10
Really not much to go off of since ... each episode is 2-3 minutes long, but you can get a sense of what's going on pretty quickly. Pacing is quite good, and each episode builds well on each other.

Art: 8/10
The distinct art style and bright visuals added to the cheery vibes of each episode. Dramatic moments were captured well, and comedic moments likewise.

Sound: 7/10
The Korean songs were a nice touch to the end of each episode. Voice acting is done in Korean, and sometimes it felt like the voice actor was too close to the mic, but okay voice acting nonetheless.

Character: 6/10
These characters are what you would consider your ordinary romance protagonists — nothing spectacular but nothing lousy either. I think they could've done a little better job tying some loose ends at the end of the series, but solid character development otherwise.

Overall enjoyment: 7.5/10
My romance and slice-of-life junkie enjoyed this one. Recommend this one for anyone who wants an easy watch; sit back and drown in the wholesomeness.
