Gloomy Salad Days is a drama that is both so great yet so bad. The name may put people off but its still worth watching but the title really does not do it justice. If it was called Gloomy Days it would make a lot more sense. Story: The story follows a short period of the lives of some students from a school. It touches on a lot of harsh subjects such as being a homosexuality, domestic abuse and other subjects not often shown in dramas. Although the story is jam packed full of controversy it also has a bit of a boring side to be honest. Some parts of the story drag on for way to long then what should have been necessary. The only story i purely enjoyed was Nicole's story for some reason. I found the story about Du and Shen Qi to be not needed as it seemed so out of place and i think it could have been done a lot better. Cast/Acting: There are a large range of actors in this drama but only very few appealed to me. Lin Chen Xi who played Nico/Nicole was my favourite actress in this drama as she made the character that she was playing really believable. Music: Was really well chosen for this drama i personally loved the Song Gloomy Sunday from the story from Nicole's story and after i looked it up i found out why it was so well chosen for this drama. I admit i loved the song so i downloaded it as depressing as the song is. Rewatch Value: I personally would only watch 2-3 stories again as some really made me sleepy watching them as they were so much more mild then others but everyones tastes differ. Overall: This drama was really something worth watching cause even if you did not like some of the stories there will be at least one or two you will enjoy and will really make you think. I recommend giving this drama a try but its not one for people who cant take sad and depressing stories.
