Amplified by Kim Yerim's performance, Blue Birthday is not your mediocre web drama as it offers an intriguing and nostalgic high school drama with impressive directing and scoring.

I felt a rollercoaster of emotion throughout the series specifically from Episode 1 to 15. I was always on the edge of my seat every time an episode ends. I highly recommend this series for binge-watching.

However, the last episode was such a letdown. I kind of wished ML still died at the end and that FL only get to have stolen moments and new memories with ML. It was so absurd how they can time travel and change things on their own accord carelessly. I get that what they did is for everyone's sake and happy ending. It just felt like every turn and twist of the story boiled down to the leads' happy ending.

On the other hand, I didn't expect that Yeri was such a natural actress! The camera obviously loves her but I was amazed by her acting skills. And this series is absolutely a good start for her acting career. I can't wait for more!

Once again, this drama is a breath of fresh air in web dramas! Usually, web dramas are so cringy with lots of cheesy lines and cinematography that do not have that much creativity. Blue Birthday is hands down one of the best short series I have seen!
