My main problem was with the way that this movie was filmed. The idea of adding colour and lights was interesting, but it didn't pull through as it actually made it look like a very long music video. Plus, there were some music and dancing breaks that were too long to fit the movie. The camera work was mostly like a badly, low badget movie, or, rather, a home movie with badly lighting and close ups that didn't make sense. The editing was horrible too.
And now, there is the story. The main idea was interesting, but the way it was presented, you don't really get to see Chiwawa and her story, as it gets lost between bits of actual plot and fancy cinematography. Also, the story wasn't that good after all, as they left out what happened to her and they focused more on showing her crazy life, packed with over the top party, clubbing, sex, drinking and dancing.
At least the performances were good from everyone in the cast.
So, overall, two out of ten.

The main story about the cute couple was pretty good, although it started a bit oddly. The first few scenes as to how they met and how they grew up together was a bit off. However, the story started getting better after they went to college. Though the big transformation of the leading character was not well explained. So, overall, the love story was good and sweet. However, the rest wasn't. The rabbit thing was not well presented and it was only there to help the two characters have cute moments together.
So, six out of ten.

The story was not that original, but the couple had tones of chemistry. They were good as friends and there were many sweet and funny moments between them. The romance was progressed smoothly, as well, and they didn't rush things, building up the tension of the finale. The ending was pretty satisfying and enjoyable. Finally, the pace was just right and the performances from everyone in the cast decent.
So, overall, eight and a half out of ten.

The story was well presented, although the ending could have been better with a more complete and wholesome conclusion. Still, the story was more daring than other korean dramas, showing a tragic story of how two teenagers dealed with grownup problems and the grown ups around them.
The main plus of this drama is the pace. That was handled masterfully and the drama wasn't rushed as a result. The acting was brilliant as well, especially since the two main characters were so young. The story, finally, was touching, sad and interesting to follow.
So, overall, eight out of ten for this sort drama.

What makes this drama good is the chemistry between the two leads. Even though the leading lady can be annoying, the two of them made a nice couple and they were adorable together. Their love story was really entertaining, although, towards the ending, it got a bit cliche. The love triangle was good at first, but I guess the main story overshadowed it. Finally, the pace was nice and the drama didn't get boring, thanks to the nice side stories.
So, eight out of ten.

The story was sweet and I liked these two as a couple, as they had chemistry, but, the romance didn't really progress. The love story was kind of inocent and cute but that's about it. The story, overall, was packed with cliches, although it was entertaining. Another thing that was missing was that it wasn't as funny as other U-Prince series. Finally, the performances were good and the leading actor was adorable.
So, overall, six out of ten.

The series overall was dark, packed with emotions and followed a thrilling mystery. The pace, actually, of the story was managed pretty well and that helped the story a lot. The characters and the performances by all actors and actresses were brilliant and added a lot to the whole drama.
One thing that I, however, didn't really like about this drama were the final episodes. The cases were almost solved and the drama didn't really have much to offer. Therefor those episodes lacked intensity.
So, eight out of ten.

I liked how they didn't focus on the romance too much, but on the character development of the main character, the friendship of the boys and the girl and the basketball games. However, it would have been better if they had explored her realtionship with her old best friend more in depth, as it felt superficial and it didn't help develop the strong emotions that the story required.
The couple, also, had chemistry and they looked cute together. However, the love triangle was weak. Finally the performances were good.
So, six out of ten.

Good Enough
As a fan of Kong Hyo Jin, but a big scary cat who hates horror, I was fifty fifty whether to watch it or not. But, turned out that the horror stuff weren't difficult to handle. They were scary, sure, and well made and presented, with nice SGI, but they were brief as well and the story tended to leave them behind and move on with the main story. So, the plot was good, though I found it a bit slow. The love triangle was nice as well, but ended quickly and the drama focused on the main couple, who were really cute together. The small ghost cases, moreover, were interesting and saved the otherwise weak plot. The performances were good as well. Finally, the side stories were a bit annoying, and the final twist was predictable. So, 6.5 out of 10.Was this review helpful to you?
Other than that, the performances were good and the settings well managed. So, five out of ten.
