A very badly acted, random drama with very few entertaining scenes and a nice song or two.

Story: I watched it because when I read the description, it "sounded" interesting. But having watched this when I was new to dramas, I was in for a surprise and not necessarily a pleasant one.

Acting/Cast: It was horrible. There was a lot of overacting by everyone.

Music: The music was fairly decent. I still listen to one song from the OST, "Bitter Tea".

Re-watch: I never plan on watching this again and I honestly don't recommend it to anyone.

Overall: I watched this when dramas were bright and shiny for me and when I didn't drop dramas. If had I watched this now, it would have been dropped by episode 2 at the most. Or more likely, I wouldn't have even bothered with it. read more

This is one of my favorite Taiwanese dramas. Unlike most Taiwanese dramas, this is set when they are in high school. While the main story isn't very clear, the overall drama is fun to watch. The romance is more innocent and cute, which is good for this type of drama. It could have easily have been a typical romantic comedy drama, but I feel it was pretty imaginative. While there were definately some things I did not like, for example, their uniforms, there were a lot more things I loved. The actors and actress are both from idol groups and are not originally actors, so the acting was just ok. At the same time though, they are just playing awkward high schoolers anyway, so their lack of skills are pretty much hidden and some actors, my favorite was Gui Gui, did a pretty good job. The ending was a bit random, and almost made me feel like their could have been a season two. They did make another drama with most of the actors in this show, though I don't think it's a second season (more like ISWAK and Love&Bread).

If you enjoy idol dramas and romantic comedies, you will love this drama. Definately worth a watch! read more

It's been a long time since I watched this drama, but I remember it to have been OK. It's a fun and light-hearted drama, but the acting isn't really top-notch. From what I've understood, the actors and actresses are part of two groups in Taiwan.
It becomes a bit silly sometimes, and the biggest problem I have with this drama, is that they, in the very end, just hurriedly squeezed in all events; it all happened way too fast. Then they tied everything together, and left a few questions unanswered; for example, what happened with Apple's problem? I feel like they should've planned out the script better.

Story: this kind of plot usually sounds very attractive, different people forced to live together. Troubles are guarantee!!

Acting/Cast: well, boys and girls are not actors, and we can see it clearly. Whatever, they're so funny! I saw a huge number of faces and looks.. I felt like I was watching an anime! XD

Music: The music is so good, I like every single song!

Rewatch: who knows? It's a pity I couldn't find episodes in better quality..

Overall: I can give it a 7! It's funny, and light. It's perfect if you want to watch something with no worries and tragedies!

Let me first off say that I was unable to fully complete this drama, because I could not find episode 13 anywhere!! But I don't think that is really relevant concerning my review. I really think that this drama is underestimated. I loved the story about long lost brothers having to work together to inherit their father's money. It's not a story that is typically seen, and that is what attracted me to this drama in the first place. I do think that the drama focuses more on the relationships the brothers develop with the girls in their class rather than with each other, but there is definitely the aspect of brotherly love, and friendship that I thought was one of the best parts of this drama. I think the actors actually did good. I'm not too familiar with Taiwanese music stars, and I know that this drama was apparently an idol drama, and what people typically say is that idols can't act, well I think they did a good job here. Each character had their own unique personality, and the actors did a great job of portraying each and everyone. There wasn't one character that stood out more or less, they each were able to hold onto the spotlight when they needed to. The theme song was extremely catchy, which is a big thing from me, because I don't really like Chinese music, but I really did like the music in this. I will watch this drama again one of these days. It's not a must watch once every month, on every holiday, and during every sporting event sort of drama, but I most likely will check it out again in a year or two. Overall, I thought this drama was extremely cute, and should be higher rated than it is! And if you're able to find the complete 13th episode somewhere, please tell me...I would really like to see how this drama ends. read more
