Overall 5.5

Music 8.5
Rewatch Value 2.0
Judging by the count and length of the episodes, I thought (and hoped) this would be a rather fast-paced, relaxing cheesy drama, but I was WRONG. (they should seriously put "melodrama" in the tags) Story: The first 3 episodes are actually quite interesting and funny, the rest slowly turn into a pain to watch (with the exception of a few scenes, really). They keep introducing new issues, but the whole story has no depth - there is not much character development until the very last episode. This is a perfect example of lazy writing, you can't just leave gaps in the plot, trying to cover them with some emotional flashbacks all the time. I had some hope for the last episode, but it still felt quite rushed and shallow. Acting: This is hard to rate.. I am not overly impressed with the acting, but a big part of it is probably just because of how poorly the characters were written. Still, I saw some good acting from the supporting characters and also the main characters' kiss scenes are quite good and the viewer can actually believe that the characters are into each other. Overall the acting is tolerable. Music: The music is pretty OK, I guess. Nothing memorable, but at least there wasn't something that made a bad impression on me, so I say it's a win. Rewatch Value: I seriously don't think this drama is worth rewatching. There are a lot of flashbacks anyway. You can't really miss anything worth remembering. Overall: I give it a 5.5 - just a little above average, because I was still able to finish it. I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone though (maybe I recommend just watching the first 3-4 episodes and then just the intros of the rest of the episodes, and finally watching the last episode, idk).
