Something different but I like it!

Honestly, after watching this series, it definetly didn't go the way I had thought it would but that's okay! I still enjoyed it! This was also my first time watching a musical drama and so I wasn't sure what to expect. The songs were great and the production was AMAZING. I really enjoyed the storyline and was genuinly shocked by who the culprit actually was. I loved this drama because, at least for me, it wasn't as predictable as so many other shows these days. Yes, it gave us some common plot points but I think the whole element of magic added a nice addition. Usually there's another drama I can compare it to but this time around, I can't because I've yet to see anything similar. Which is not a bad thing! I do wish it was a little longer. Maybe 8 episodes? But at the same time, it's not lacking anything and all bases were covered so that not major flaw or anything.

I think this drama is worth checking out. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but I think many people will appreciate it.

100% Recommend

This drama is hands down one of my all time favorites. Everything about it is so good. The acting, the storyline, the OSTs, etc. I recommend this drama to anyone that is looking for something new to watch. I’m a sucker for dramas that can make me bawl my eyes out and this is one of them. If I had a list of top dramas, this one would fall in seconds place; right after Just Between Lovers.

Of course everyone may not have the same option as me but I wholeheartedly believe that this is one of the best kdramas out there.

Should've been a series instead.

Honestly, this wasn't that bad but it definitely left me wanting more. I believe that if this was made into an actual series instead of a movie, it'd make more sense. It was an interesting story but the whole thing felt rushed. Tbh, I was never really a fan of movies where everything happened in one day. But it shouldn't be completely written off bc, like I said, the story could've had so much more depth if it was played out over multiple episodes of a show. I don't really recommend this movie because a lot of things are just never explained. But if you're bored, get it a shot.

Also, there wasn't really any music that stood out so that's why the score is 1.

An Amazing and Heartwarming Story

This drama was honestly one that I didn't plan to love as much as I did. I'd been scrolling past it on Netflix for a while and finally decided to give it a chance a few days ago. Although it was a bit predictable, it also had a few plot twists that I didn't expect. There were times when I laugh and even more times when I cried. It's a wonderful story about a woman finding herself years after trauma. It was very well written and I honestly wish that I could experience the whole thing over again. This drama has made its way to being one of my favorite dramas of all time. A comfort drama, if you will. I do plan on rewatching this in the future once I've forgotten most of what happens. I'm so glad I decided to check this drama out. I genuinely so happy with it.

I didn't know what to expect going into this because the description on Viki didn't give too much away (which I appreciate). It had me hooked from start to finish and I ended up watching all 8 episodes in one day.

The story was interesting and I never knew exactly which way it would go. It kind of felt like there were two different story arches that happened over the episodes. That being said, I wish it was just an episode or 2 longer. Parts of it felt rushed at times but, ultimately, it was still enjoyable.

I LOVED the acting in this drama. I'd seen the other 2 main leads in otters dramas but this was the first time I'd seen Jihoon act. And he did AMAZING. He really transformed into the character and I honestly forgot the he was an idol. If I didn't know him before this, I would've thought he'd always been just an actor!

All in all, this was a great drama. I'd watch a season two.

It was really good

I wanna start by saying that I started this drama in late 2018 and finished in late February 2019 so it’s been a while since I’ve seen it. I still remember it though because I know that I really liked it. See, it’s supposed to be a remake of “Who Are You: School 2015,” which is my favorite School series season(?) so I was excited to see this. It was actually one of the first cdramas I’d ever seen and the first I’d ever finished. The story had similar elements to the original but the storyline was pretty different. I loved the this dramas take on the premise though. It was pretty lengthy but I didn’t mind it.

Also, I don’t remember any of the music except I vividly remember liking the theme song.

This may be one of my favorite dramas I've ever seen.

Honestly, I had zero expectations going into this show. It was just recommended to me on Netflix and the premise looked interesting, so I thought I'd give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I ended up enjoying it. I invested in the story and characters ever since the first episode. This drama did a good job at showcasing what teaches have to deal with at school and the pressure they get from faculty, parents and even students.

My only complaint with the show was that I wish I'd been split into two parts. After the first set of students graduated and the next school year came around, it felt like the show kind of began again. They spent so many episodes on the first year of Ha-neul working at the school that the next 2 years were mashed into like 5 episodes. It all happened so quickly and wish we would've at least gotten a few more episodes to play out the story.

But, that being said, I still loved the entire show. I would definitely watch it again. This honestly ended up being one of my all time favorite dramas. Please check it out if you need something new to watch!

It was cute!

Listen, I honestly enjoyed this drama a lot. The characters were cute and sometimes all over the place. The chemistry was amazing. The music was fantastic. The plot was a little predictable though, and the ending was okay. I kind of wish it hadn't gone the way it did but there's really nothing we can do about that lol The main leads were so cute though, especially the least actress. It was refreshing seeing a cute, bubbly "rich" girl with good morals. Honestly, I know this may not be fore everyone, but it's just my style. It's not too over the top but it's also not too slow paced. It's just right imo.

Better Than Expected

Every so often I get this urge to binge-watch recent k-dramas and this happened to be included this time. Tbh, I'd scrolled past it for a few weeks before finally giving it a chance. Honestly I'm glad I did. The characters and chemistry was so good! I loved how everyone evolved over time and the character development. Also, let's not forget about the music. I actually first heard about this drama when it was announced that DK was doing an OST for it. It's such a good song; along with literally every other song on the sound track. This is one of those come of age, feel good type dramas. I highly recommend it.

Was Good At First...

I liked this drama at first and it was good enough to make me watch it all the way through. But it went downhill in the last few episodes. Most of the characters are annoying. (Not the actors/actresses. They did a good job portraying such unlikable characters.) The ending seemed so forced and rushed. No, it’s not the worst drama ever but it’s definitely not the top of anything. I guess it’s like when they make a movie based on books but in this case it’s a webtoon, What I’m saying is, I think the webtoon is probably better. I should read it and see for myself.

(I have nothing else to say but I need 500 characters...)

Everyone should watch it at least once tbh

This drama isn’t exactly the greatest drama but it’s not the worst. This tends to happen a lot with kdramas that were webtoons before. The story tend to be pretty repetitive, predictable and even cringy at times. Back when this drama came out, it was REALLY popular. I had just started to watch kdramas and this one was EVERY where. I ended up watching it in later 2016/early 2017 and it was fine. It’s never been one of my favorite but it’s not terrible. There are moments that I loved and moments that I hated. There were characters I hated too (*cough* the male lead *cough*) but it was still a pretty good show. Honestly, I’ve always said that this was one of those essential dramas ppl should check out when you first get into kdramas. I just feel like it’s essential viewing, kinda like Weightlifting Fairy KBJ and Strong Woman DBS. Either you’re gonna really love them or be like “eh…at least I watched it.”

It did it's job.

Listen, it was very cute and lighthearted mostly. The story was a little boring at times but honestly, I'd be lying if I said it was trash. I was rooting for all the couples like I was cheering for a team at a basketball game or something lol My biggest issue was the ending. I HATED it. What is it with these k-dramas and making the leads separate for a few years and then meet again? It's annoying. I mean, I know this was based on a Webtoon but still. Who reads these stories and is like "Oh perfect! a predictable ending. We need more of those!"

Lol I enjoyed it though. I mean, I wouldn't watch it again anytime soon but maybe in a few years when I completely forget the story.

A Must Watch Show

Idk how anyone could watch this and rate it anything other than 10s across the board.

All of these talented actors/actresses coming together to relax, have fun and get to know each other is something they needed and something we as fans needed as well. They all seem like genuinely nice people and it was cool to see actors/actresses from dramas I'd watch come together. It was like star-studded crossover event.

I really enjoyed this show and really hope that they do a season two. I would love to see the cast of Weightlifting Fairy KBJ, Extraordinary You and True Beauty do this! There's plenty of young actors/actresses in those shows and it think it's be cool to see them bond as well.

A Chill Drama

I don’t think it was boring but it also wasn’t the most interesting drama. A lot happens but at the same time nothing really happens if that makes sense. The main characters are cool and not annoying like other dramas I’ve watched. The whole plot is nothing but your typical 30 something year olds’ problems. It is a nice break from the usual dramas though. Not bad.

I also don’t remember any of the OST. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen this drama but ig it wasn’t memorable.

It’s VERY Good

Although I was intrigued just by reading the synopsis of the drama, I still went into this not knowing what to actually expect. Before watching, I read a few reviews and comments and saw how a good bit of people actually didn’t like it bc they felt it was highly over exaggerated and unbelievable but trust me, it’s not. Parenting like that of this show actually happens in parts of the world and once those viewers understand that, they’ll realize that this drama isn’t as fictitious as they want to believe it is.

Anyway, on the the actual drama: First of all, the actresses/actors deserve awards bc I’ve seen so many shows/dramas/etc. in my 22 years of living but never have I seen such amazing on screen chemistry and talent. The only other drama I can say even comes close is Just Between Lovers.

The story and plot are both intriguing with many twists and surprises to keep the viewers hooked. And don’t even get my started on the ending omg. I swear, there NEEDS to be a season two but I’d be okay if there isn’t.

Please everyone, just go watch this. Some parts may make you want to reach through the screen and strangle a few ppl, but you’ll keep coming back for more. I guarantee it.
