As a fan of Kyungsoo's work, I tried not to spoil myself and went in blind, barely reading the synopsis, so I could be surprised. I had watched a bunch of the cast's enterviews about the movie when it came out, so I was expecting a summer story about dreams and friendship. What I got was a painful ride about life, feelings and growing up. I cried a lot. It hurt. The feelings are so intense, there's no way it can be anything but a 10.

The story itself isn't new, it holds that feeling of movies about youth that were a lot on TV on the afternoons when I was a kid. But, even if the story is a cliche, it was so well done and delivered that it feels kind of new.

The acting is simply superb. You laugh when they do, and you dehidrate yourself to death when they cry. The young actors showed such strong emotions you can't help but get choked up at times. It's like you are member of the group as well. Kim So Hyun and Kyungsoo were obviously the main ones, and it's easier to bond with them, since we see things through their eyes. But the other young actors did such a good job, you can't help but relate and feel whatever they're feeling too.

The OST was good and fit well in the story. Specially because the movie plays itself around a radio show, if the music was messy it certainly would not have had the same impact.

I wouldn't watch it again, simply because the movie was about the plot twist, at least for me. Now that I know what happens, I don't want to inflict that pain upon me again. But if I do need to cry, this a go-to, at any time.

This was one of my first dramas. It was an amazing ride, and I still rewatch everytime I get bored and miss some Shin Hye and Yong Hwa.

It is a very decent school drama. The actors are good, the couples are cute, the music is amazing and the main plot of the school musical is so good you don't want to stop watching it.

The drama tackles everything from being in love to deciding your own future, with sweetness and touching moments. The last episode has so messy last minute writing that defnitly takes some points out of it, but I don't think that very last plot before the end has that big of impact.

Overall, a very good drama.

This drama is the sweetest thing. Having Kim Young-Kwang and Yook Sungjae already has me halfway there to watch anything, but the plot promised some fun, light show about growing and learning how to be happy, and I'm always down for that.

The show ended up being mostly about the romantic relationships of the two oldest guys, but I loved every second of it. The little boy parts were the one I liked the least, but it was still fun to watch him getting to grow out of his celebrity pose. Sungjae didn't get much of my attention this time, unfortunately. The romantic plot of the older guys was just so much more interesting, to be honest.

The characters here, unlike in many dramas, didn’t beat around the bush for ages instead of trying to solve their problems and talk to whoever to try and get their happiness, and that made the drama nicely paced and enjoyable.

The drama took it's time to show the relationships of the characters as well as their difficulties in life and how they overcame it, and it was a fun show.

The music wasn't anything special, but it wasn't horrible either? Just plain.

Still, this is so worth watching, specially if you’re looking for something light.

The only non-adult drama I’ve seen since Heirs (which I hated) and it is my absolute favorite from all of those. The story touched on subjects like corruption, power abuse, bullying, teenage suicide, parents-kids pressure, first love and friendship.

It’s a high school dorama, but it’s not silly and the acting is supreme. The main actors are all great (no one has any right to doubt Eunji ever, but I didn't know she was an idol at the time and I was so surprised), and Kim Yeol’s smile was my ruin for the whole thing.

It is a coming of age tale, and it's sweet, fun and adorable. I cried in a lot of episodes, I laughed a lot and had my heart melted the same amount of times. I wasn’t expecting such quality in a high school drama, to be honest, and I was delighted with the result.

This show has a very strong Hearstrings vibe (my all time school drama favorite), but it doesn’t have plotholes nor a slow and then rushed storyline. The pace is great, the storyline makes sense and the feelings are all (bitter)sweet. Even the antagonist is relatable, even though she can be cruel. They are just kids, after all.

I finished this so fast, and then got sad because I had nothing similar to watch, but I’ll probably watch it again soon, same way I did with heartstrings. It’s worth it.
