It has the sorts of characters I, personally, really love: one incredibly popular guy who knows he's popular, but is also absolutely smitten, and the oblivious object of his affection who wildly misinterpreting the situation. The main character's romance is quite sweet, and the love interest is a jerk (but in that entertaining way that jerk characters often are). It's easy to get invested in watching their dynamic develop.
While a fairly straightforward FwB-to-lovers story, I found a refreshing amount of nuance in how conflicts were handled. Miscommunication stems from reasonable worries, both sides of the relationship(s) often make mistakes and sometimes regret words as soon as they say them, and things are never too simplistic. The way the final twist and finale are developed really cemented the subtle maturity behind this romantic comedy/drama, and made me appreciate it more.
