  Ma Boy is one of those feel-good, forget everything kind of dramas. The gender bender theme is a well-known one, but at least this one features boy as girl instead of the typical girl as boy.
  
  I really enjoyed seeing some of the younger up and coming stars and the acting, while green, was cute and it was surrounded by a cute story and love triangle (which are commonly uncute).
  
  Overall, I'll probably rewatch Ma Boy many times, because it just lifted my spirits with its sweetness.

  Watching this drama and rating it would depend on one's mood and/or liking.
  
  In my case, I was in a mood for a low-key-rom-com drama which does not require me to think too much. Ta-da! Ma Boy was perfect. I couldn't help myself from smiling from one episode to another.
  
  I may like the drama but of course it is far from being perfect. There are scenes that made me want to cringe and fast forward due to unnecessary airtime of mischief but since this is supposed to be a light story... I sucked it all in and enjoyed the whole show for what it could offer.
  
  Be reminded that this is a high school gender bender story where Boy Dresses up as a Girl while Girl keeps his secret for him. It's light, funny and cute. Not to forget that the boy is really good looking and dances so well. Music wise, as per young k-pop idol themed drama - you already know what to expect... but wait! There's more.
  
  The drama may be light but the characters has their own story to tell. Thus making this drama more interesting than what the plot line let's us perceive. I also like the fact that the young actors and actresses suits their role. Who wouldn't fall for the plain looking girl paired up to pretty boy scenario without the perfect casting? Even the mean trio of male/female fans for each idol was the right fit. I couldn't imagine anyone else being casted for the roles, including the main ones.
  
  I am surely recommending this for those who's craving for something light, cute and funny to watch. read more
