Though idols brought me to the drama world, I admit that many -if not most- of their acting have proved a total failure. Just because they have a huge fan base, they get all the lead roles and high rates and give the audience hell. So I was not all excited at starting this but I thought trying a 12-episode series an episode per week won't hurt. I'm glad I did. Though there's nothing extraordinary about the plot, the drama presented serious and deep issues in a comic way while making us feel the depth of them. Paternity, one-night stands, love, gender, friendship, fate, unemployment, plastic surgery, society's expectations, dreams, talents and the pressure of youth are all portrayed in the drama. The nuggets of wisdom at the end of each episode were so loaded but cute. Though I hate didactic messages, I thought they were to the point with no pressure. Being 24 myself, I related to the struggle of the guys. The last episode was epic. And the last words of Kim Dong Joon were like a soothing breeze to my troubled heart. The music was awesome here. The way they'd add classic songs to some ridiculous situations was so hilarious. Kim Sa Eun was a pleasant surprise -I'm a Super Junior fan so I'm pretty biased to my band member's wife-. Kim Dong Joon's dialect and terrible sense of humour made the drama for me. For a light break after watching a sageuk or a melo; this drama would present a great solace. This is the Currently Watching article I wrote after starting it: http://mydramalist.com/article/2014/11/12/currently-watching-boarding-house-24
