"As it always has been and always will be, lovers will repeat the same mistakes by fighting, breaking up, hating, and missing each other. Its always spring as long as we are together"

A very strong and meaningful message given.

`Story`
Although the web-drama was short and note that I haven't read the web-toon, the development of the characters & plot was amazing. It shows how two people loved each other purely and after their break up even though they're both trying to move on in different ways there's still a sparkle that keeps them looking back and that's cause they're still in love, no matter how many times they're trying to deny it not just to others but themselves as well.

The flashbacks were so touching and sweet & with the combination of comedy during the whole web-drama Istg it was so refreshing and amusing to watch.

`Acting / Casting`
Not going to hide that I am a BJ & IC so of course I adore both Sandara Park & Kang Seung Yoon, but their acting was still surprising and in a good way of course. They're both amazing at acting and even though it might have been weird for them to act as a couple considering the age gap as well, it's amazing how they managed to make us viewers put that aside and get into their characters so intensively. Some of the other actors & actresses were models and I am so amazed at the outcome of their acting skills, I'd trully consider watching more of them each.

`Music`
Not going to mention how much I loved the music. Other than Wild & Young which is a fantastic song, I fell in love with the duets. Acoustic versions suit Dara's voice best & with Seung Yoon's soulful voice it didn't last much before I got them chills.

`Rewatch Value`
I loved this web-drama and I can't wait to see more of both Kang Seung Yoon & Sandara Park as well as the other actors & actresses. I'd def rewatch it not just for the plot but also for the puns made, for example the come back home scene or . . 'glad i wasn't an idol - especially not at yg' :' )

If you want to watch this, I recommend it at all cost!!

I am kinda late with the review but here I go : )

The story may seem kind of rushed and at times kind of filled with scenes. But those scenes were not just for filling in the end, they were just made so it can break your heart into million pieces later ( kidding....notreally). What I mean is, we saw these two interacting and purely loving each other since they were young. They experienced true love and didn't just wait till the last moment. Like another review said the writer would give you hope then take it away and back to giving hope during the whole movie but that's why it wasn't boring and didn't actually make me guess the end ( at first I thought he'd die, then I thought he'd live and so on ). I liked the story! Didn't look like another basic romantic w some sickness story to me.

As for the acting we didn't get to meet the supporting roles too much except for Kou. I loved it!!! The expressions spoke for themselves. As for Mayu I couldn't help but love her acting. When she was sad or when he would be in danger but didn't know if he'd make it. You can see her confusion, agony and sadness in her face. But I got to point out the little kid actors. They are truly a m a z i n g.. so fun watching the start and the flashbacks throughout the movie.

I totally recommend this movie, but i suggest you keep a box of tissues if the melodrama gets you.

It was really short but enough to make me go like " awww " each minute passed. The actors' expressions pushed aside every word needed. You can understand their feelings just by their look. It was a pleasant 14minute-movie. I couldn't help but smile, tho the music was a bit off. I personally love Lee Hyun Jin and if you're a fan as well, you may as well wanna try watching it.

I am late but it's worth writing a review-. . .
I've seen many feeling insecure whether they should watch it or not. My opinion? watch it.
The first episodes seem confusing, you may get bored, but that's until you understand the meaning of this drama. There's an absence of romance which I totally find cool, because its focus is on deeper situations.
Plot; yes, I loved the story. Each character expressing a different story. Their background stories were colorful & more than just interesting. What's more than that, the reality they've captured in this drama. Schools can be scarier than that these days & it's good someone got the courage to point it out. The thing is, they didn't just throw light on it, they showed how hope can be found even at the last minute.
About the acting, I could say that it was pretty successful. I can't hide my love for Kim Woo Bin & Lee Jong Suk( and I loved Kwak Jung Wook's character by time ). Other than that, they all got to transfer the feelings of their characters to the viewer's hearts ( & that's pure talent ).
Music didn't play a big role, but the theme song is surely a must listen. The lyrics were touching.

To sum it all up, this drama is precious.

If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don’t fight, you can’t win! - Eren Yaeger

Note: This is from a manga/anime fan's perspective, but I'm going to try to present an overall view ( comparisons alert )

[STORY]
Obviously 1 hour and 38 minutes is not enough time to develop the story the way the anime & the manga did but they surely did a great job to present the plot as it is. Living inside the walls yet striving for freedom and all the hatred against the titans was achieved beautifully I would say.
Changing partly the plot and the characters' past was kind of a disappointment to me, since a cut short version of the original would be so much more interesting (in my opinion). Therefore I could not 'feel' the development, if the was any, of the characters throughout the movie.

The effects were nice, titans were designed scary but the killing scenes were not so creepy so I had no space to feel that adrenaline everytime a titan attacked. I did not expect something different though, because an anime to become a live action film, especially this one, is a bit hard.

I was suprised that it ended like this. Questions unanswered especially to the ones who do not know how Eren became a titan ( though it'd be a lot easier if they presented it at the start like the anime ). A lot of gaps as well, which I excuse because of the limited time.

[ACTING/CAST]
Okay, the acting was really good. I loved how they showed fear, you could even see it in their eyes & I must say that even if the story was kind of lacking the acting was like trying to fill in the emptiness. I liked the cast as well. Especially at the start where people were terrified, man the chaos caused me them chills, it was really good.

[MUSIC]
I admit sometimes the music ticked me off and it's the first time happening?. Sometimes it just didn't give the feel to it but the sound effects were great.
I loved the titan's cryings and shoutings and the gas sound and all that, that one was really good.

[REWATCH VALUE]
I wouldn't sit alone to watch it once again but I would watch it with a group of friends if the chance was given. Other than that it was a good movie. High expecations? Yes a lot, since the original owned a special place.

I do recommend it for the fun of it, so if you want to give it a try do give it one. It's a good one if you're for the adventure kind.

I am going to write a short review on this ^^.
I liked the storyline, though I could say that I've seen so many dramas ,where the girl is mistaken as a boy that I am starting to get sick of it heh-. Sometimes it would get boring though since it'd always happen the same; Something good, someone screws everything up, back to good and so it goes on.
The cast was daebak though. I liked the acting as well [ Song Mino aaahhh ]
Music was awesome too, totally my style- ( tho I really don't understand, come on that was a girl's voice )
I'd surely recommend it. If you like music, romantic adventure or anything related it's totally worth watching ^^

- Small spoiler; the ending was disappointing indeed, there's a lot of questions unanswered. Couldn't help but smile during the bloopers in the end tho lol -

Winter is the perfect season for a melodrama.

Story.
The story was great. Two kids who lived a perfectly normal life end up as victims due to a collapse and ending up having scars for the rest of their lives. The writers did a great job. Everything ran so smoothly and everyone was connected somehow. What I really loved about this drama was that everyone had a backstory, the writers didn't just give you a "best friend" without giving that bestfriend a story as well. Furthermore even the evil guys were not actually evil, you can't really hate anyone in this drama but before I give out spoilers if you want to watch a great melodramatic story this drama is for you. Grab some tissues, a blanket and you are set.

Acting/Cast.
Could not have asked for better actors. Everyone and I mean every. one. did a great job. You could really dwell on their sadness. What else can I say, I was impressed.

Music.
Okay I gotta admit, the music was unique it fits really well to the drama and it was the first time I've heard this kind of music in a drama overall. Especially the main ost, I bet everyone loved it and its a worthy one to be on someone's playlist in their phones. But I can't lie that some songs were kinda off at some scenes especially in the beginning but I guess it was just the uniqueness of it. 

Overall.
At times I felt like this drama was going slow but it always managed to make me want to see what's next. Especially in the end. One thing for sure. It ain't boring. I recommend you watching this 100%. It's totally one of the best dramas of 2017-2018 and if this doesn't win an award I'm going to be disappointed. So go for it you really do not wanna miss it.

This drama was really refreshing and amusing.I think the combination of music was daebak and even till now the songs are stuck in my mind. Love triangles and amazing background. Each character has a unique storyline, which makes it even more interesting to watch. I would surely recommend.
( Plus; Park Shinhye's expressions never fail to get me )
