I'll start with the story of this drama, honestly if you're looking for light romance with a simple story this is perfect, but it wasn't my type of story line, it's repeated and there wasn't anything unique about it, the roles of the main characters were poorly written and for the female character, poorly acted as well, her being the gullible, poor and kind high school student, and him being the cool, cold and a bad boy, the problem with these types of dramas is that it becomes annoying after a couple of episodes, especially her lingering and clinging onto him, she became quite annoying and pathetic , I had the phrase "doesn't she have any dignity?" in my head all the time, I was embarrassed for her, and of course I had the extra thoughts of what I would've done if I was in her shoes, I'd punch him in the face for fucks sake, that's the type of feeling you'll have at the second to third episode, kind of reminds me of heart strings vibes.
As for the acting, who doesn't love lee hyun woo, I really liked him in moorim school, his acting is good, the role sucked though, I didn't like how he was an ass at the beginning and for no certain reason, to his friends as well, taking into consideration that they show you how close they were in the past, he went overboard, but he's bearable, more than the female character, joy.. oh joy, I first saw this idol in clips of her drama tempted with doo hwan, to be honest with you, except for IU in my ajusshi and moon lovers I haven't seen any idol, male or female, including joy who knows how to actually act, I know that directors use them anyway for more views, but it just kills it, she acts like a child, I mean no offense but people should stick to their jobs, but I wasn't expecting anything so I wasn't disappointed, also hyun woo's acting covered it up, as for other characters, I didn't mind the existence of so ri mi (joy)'s friends, they were light, that goes for hang yul ( hyun woo)'s friends as well, except for chan young ( lee seo woon) -I just learnt about his sexual harassment when I searched up his name yikes his career is killed- anyhow, the character was quite annoying, he kept butting in ri mi and hang yul's relationship, instead of a supportive friend I saw an obsessive controlling creep, if you change the soundtrack in his scenes with so ri mi to a horror's movie's background music, my my I'd feel tense, without him hang yul would've been their producer and trust me that would've saved us, many, many episodes, I had a soft spot for CEO Lee, but CEO Yoo was a plain sellswoman, another character I thought was completely useless is Che Yuna, well she was good at being an idiot.
The music was good, the OST's and the songs so ri mi sang were actually good, but the problem with the songs in this drama is that they are all recorded at studio and then used in scenes where she's supposed to sound natural, for example she's singing on the roof and her voice is perfect, all clear without a sign of the air, it's so perfect that it's become unrealistic, what were they thinking, they could've shown us how good she is when she sings on stage or in studio..
Overall, I don't recommend you to watch this, it's nothing good, but if you want to pass time you can use this for some laughs, also if you're like me, if you just want to think about something else, I highly recommend it.
