Absolutely hilarious in many parts! Main couple is super cute, but such a tease, lol! I don't hate the ending as much as others. I didn't fully understand it either, but I laughed anyway. It reminded me of Business Proposal with how lighthearted it is, and certain other elements, but it gave me a lot of the same joy.
This is the kind of healing drama that actually feels healing to me. Maybe because I relate to it much more than others, but I think more people should watch it, as it probably resonates with many. I would have liked more romance, but I could still tell the love was there, and Yuyeon is an amazing ML that was patient, fun, and the sweetest of men.
I've been meaning to watch this since it came out, since I read the webtoon, but have just now gotten to it. And good thing too, since Class 2 is coming this month. While the backstory is a bit different to what happens in the webtoon, it was a really good watch. Only nitpick I had was that Grey's (Sieun) actor doesn't quite have the right look for the character (at least as portrayed in the drama). Grey is meant to be frail and fair. People in the webtoon are constantly noting on his appearance resembling a girl, which there was a bit of at the end when he transferred though it was just his name. Some of the changes made sense for the story, so I let those slide. For those that want to read the webtoon, PLEASE DO!!! It's absolutely fantastic. Keep in mind, though, that the story starts with Grey already at Eunjang High, and we only get parts of his backstory through flashbacks. If you thought this story was good, his arc at Eunjang is even better!
Very cute! I was squealing at many moments in the show. There were some moments that dragged a bit, but overall, it felt very real until the end with the tongue-in-cheek ending. I honestly feel bad for Aoey as a character, as I feel like he was underutilized and thrown away. Like they decided to make him the "antagonist," but he doesn't feel like one. I feel more sorry for him than angry.
Just finish this series, great watch, the only thing wrong was Aoey got away without any consequences for his…
I think he was punished enough in that he didn't get a happy ending. Sure, he had his fans, but he was all alone. His manager had left, the one person that was interested in him just got a new series (which means he is in a shipping pair), he's living in guilt over almost ruining the life of the one person he cares about the most who is now with his SO, and it only seemed like there was talk a of a new series with him and Sib, but maybe it's not set in stone yet. So he doesn't have any projects lined up. Seems pretty fitting for his actions.
Moody's Cell. Not really that accurate. I never drop a series no matter how much I don't like it. I'm pretty stubborn about the hope that the ending might turn things around. My ptw is getting longer by the day, and I will watch something not even on it if it catches my interest in the moment, so that's true. I don't really rant about tropes I don't like, if any, because there are some series that have tropes I don't like, but are still one of my favorites. So I rarely complain about that. Also, it's not that I don't know what my taste is, but it's hard for me to describe because I know it when I see it. I definitely have a type, so to say.
There is a lot of charm about this drama, and I can see why it might be considered a classic. The ML's behavior is problematic at times, but I think the show knows this and addresses it during moments woven into the story. They don't say anything directly, (except one time from a side character) but there is a noticeable change in him as the story goes. This series also subverted my expectations on how the supernatural elements would be handled, and I enjoyed the times they switched bodies. The pacing was a bit slower than what I am used to, but I got used to it after some episodes. I was completely surprised by Hyun Bin's acting and didn't know he had such a huge range! I've only seen him in Crash Landing On You, and his character is really stoic in that series. Not saying he was emotionless, but in Secret Garden, he was so expressive and cute at times! Also, I don't know if people forget about him when they talk about this topic, or don't know he exists, but the character of Han Tae Sun is so important! He's such a good dynamic character and should be on any list that talks about LGBT representation. Totally recommend a watch if you are in the mood for some nostalgia!
The story is pretty good and the two leads have good chemistry. The friendships are the best part though! I loved the trio of Jihyun, Aeri, and Joonpyo. They are so much fun. Yoonwon is also a great character and I loved her song and how she was a great senior for the club. The biggest downfall of this series is the editing and some of the camera work. It's so choppy in some parts that it's easy to get a bit confused on what's happening in the story. There's also events that happen that feel like they aren't really happening, so it's a bit jarring when the story continues from there and you realize it wasn't a dream. Another great aspect of this drama is the OST. There was one song I was actually so focused on I forgot I was watching a drama and had to go back.
Loyal and noble. He will always be with you through thick and thin!
Alright! Love that!
