I heard lots of good stuff about this drama: "It's so cute and everything" "It beat out 1 Litre of Tears and Gaksital on MDL" "It's so different from other typical k-dramas" etc etc. So I thought, why not giving this one a chance? After all it has Seo In Gook, Eun Ji Won and Hoya ^^ I started to watch this yesterday and watched first 8 episodes = 1st half of the drama. After those 8 episodes I thought: "I really can't understand HOW and WHY this became the #1 drama on MDL. Of course, the story is cute, it has good and strong comedy, it has good looking cast = perfect drama right? But to give this 10? No way. I'm not sure if this gets even 8 from me." And today, I watched rest of the episodes = 2nd half of the drama. The second half was stronger in my opinion and I really liked how they didn't reveal the ending before the final episode. It was funny to figure out which one ~ Then about cast: I liked how they used new actors but of course that can be seen in their acting as well. I really loved how all the cast members used the Pusan accent. I just think it sounds really cool XD Before I haven't thought nothing of A Pink. I just haven't been able to get into their music so I was hesitating whether to watch this or not.. After all the female lead is from A Pink. "They're boring and dull", I thought. But the acting of Eunji proved me wrong. At first she was REAAAALLY annoying with all her whining and stuff. But then I grew to like her character a lot. I knew that Seo In Gook is a cutie pie but this drama made me appreciate him even more. He's just so cute XD And Hoya.. His acting wasn't the best but the character of him was really well acted ^^ Eun Ji Won is over 30 and he did really well playing a high school kid. I really loved his chara a lot ~~ The parents of Shi Won were really amazing XD My conclusion: Gave this 8. Just because the story was cute and I liked the cast. I didn't like how it jumped back and forth all the time. But while going forward the final episode it all glued together well. I considered giving this 9 but I just can't. The acting wasn't the best out there... But still, very cute drama ^^ Seo In Gook, Hoya and Eun Ji Won were superb ~~ If you read all this I'll be really thankful XD Sorry for this messy review...
