I Came for the Dance and Stayed for the Performance

This series is great because of the uniqueness of the storyline. It doesn’t spend much time on character introduction but immediately slips into the central storyline. Some might feel that as a disadvantage since we don't get much understanding of the characters and certainly no backstories, but with the main plot being so entertaining and the performances so exceptional, we can overlook those faults.

The story revolves around Song Shi-On, a talented dancer, and Jin Hong Seok, a debt collector. Their paths cross because Shi-On fails to pay off his debts, and Hong Seok forces himself into Shi-On’s life, taking control of his dance practices to ensure that he wins the competition and pays off his debts. This leads to a unique and captivating relationship.

One of the strengths of the series is the performances by the two main characters. Won Tae Min portrays Jin Hong Seok, a cold and stoic debt collector who slowly starts to have feelings for Shi-On. Tae Min fully embodies the character of Hong Seok, making us feel his belief in Shi-On’s dreams and his unwavering support. Choo Young Woo brings Shi-On to life, exploring the complexities of his journey and delving into themes such as self-discovery, pursuing one's passion, and overcoming personal obstacles.

One potential weakness of the series is its short episode duration, which might leave some wanting more in terms of character development and plot exploration. However, the engaging performances and captivating chemistry between the leads compensate for this to a large extent.

In conclusion, 'You Make Me Dance' is a delightful and uplifting series that offers a fresh take on romance. The brilliant performances by the actors, the well-executed dance sequences, and the fitting choice of background score make this truly entertaining.
