This review may contain spoilers
Story - 6.5 - I really enjoyed the beginning of the show, it was cute and relaxing to watch, but then the last 4 episodes dragged and focused on unnecessary drama.
*SPOILER* Had the ending been sad I would rate it much lower, but since it wasn't I'd say it's a decent drama, enjoyable and cute for the most part. Not that sad endings are bad, I just think that for this particular show it wouldn't be fitting. *SPOILER*
Still not a 10/10 ending whatsoever. Episodes in my opinion were: 1-8 good, 9-11 kinda boring and draggy, 12 okay.
I would have liked more interactions and backstory on the friendship between Doo Shik, Seol Ah and Jae Sun, their relationship was supposed to be deep (they told us) but they never really show that. I felt like either the casting choice wasn't good or the writing of the characters was pretty bad, hence the characters didn't have chemistry and all of them, including secondary ones, came off at least slightly annoying. Not completely unlikeable though.
I could never discern Hong Jo's intentions and feelings, whether he was happy, in love, sad, annoyed, confused, etc. Jae Sun fell flat for me and Seol Ah was immature, childish and infantile. Ji Eun started annoying but improved, same with Doo Shik.
Cast - 6.0 - I'm within that group that thinks L still has a long way to go to be considered a good actor. The role does fit him since he looks cat-like and cute (especially when he pouts) but he still lacks the ability to emote that's necessary for a lead role.
- Seo Ji Hoon was okay, I like his acting but this role wasn't one that would allow him to show his skills.
- Shin Ye Eun, while I don't understand the hype around her (I haven't seen He is psychometric yet), did a good enough job.
Music - 7.0 - I actually quite liked the songs, I actually saved more than a couple of them on my playlist. While the OST is nothing to rave about, it does fit the show and it's memorable enough. Except the song in english... I don't like it but that seems to be an unpopular opinion.
Rewatch value - 5.0 - I don't think there's any rewatch value. I don't feel the pull to go back and watch any scenes again which usually happens with other shows even if it's just one or two scenes. It's a show to watch once and then forget. I don't rate it lower cause it wouldn't be dreadful to rewatch either.
