I can't even describe how much I enjoyed watching She Was Pretty. I was completely hooked from the very first episode. Though the story was simple, the characters were unique and intriguing. I fell in love with all of them. Though I must say that Siwon, especially stood out to me. Shin Hyeok was by far my favorite character. Every time he came on screen I was laughing, yet I sympathized with him SO MUCH. To me, he was the real star of this show. He was the peeping girl and may be one of my all-time favorite drama characters. The music in She Was Pretty was wonderful and fit the show perfectly. The OST is so catchy. Every time I listen to THUMPING I feel as if I can't help but have a good day. I was completely thrilled that Close to You by The Carpenters appeared in the show. It's such a lovely song, and though slightly overplayed at times, was a wonderful addition to the OST. I think the show's main problem lies with the plot. By no means was it terrible. I was definitely satisfied with the conclusion, and the message of the show was wonderful. It definitely didn't stray from the point of the story. But I felt as if there could have been so much more. Things were mentioned throughout the show, yet they always seemed to be forgotten and were never brought up again. All of these little details could have completely changed the plot, yet they were treated as if they had no importance. I, personally, would have liked to see all of these things explored and probably would have far more invested in the show if they had been. Having said that, though things could have gone in a completely different direction, I am very happy with what we got. Overall, She Was Pretty was a light, fluffy, and funny show with a good message. The characters had wonderful chemistry (can we just talk about the amazing friendship between Ha Ri and Hye Jin?) and were all likable in their own ways. I very much enjoyed She Was Pretty and am very glad to have watched it.
