Overall it was a bitter sweet drama.The first few episodes are filled with laughter, but towards the end it gets quite depressing....
The sotry line was great, it kept me interested through out the series, many unexpected plot twists.
The cast did a surperb job, espicialy JiSung- playing 7 different charcters.
The OST is perfect. I'm in love with 'auditory hallucination', it always makes me sad every time it comes on.
Comments (spoilers):
Idek how the female lead could forgive the male lead about her childhood, plus she also indirectly forgave his father. If I were her I don't think I would forgive them at all :((
The characters relationship is confusing so I googled a relationship chart, but one of them said Cha KiJoon is interested in RiJin, so I watched the series waiting for KiJoon to fall for her, but it didn't happen. So for the people who is looking at the same chart I did, don't have false hopes :)

The drama started off really well.
The story line is like any other drama with a female lead and 2 boys that falls for her, but I thought the male lead fell for Dong Cai too quickly. The leads have really good chemistry together. Si is funny and doesn't know how to express his love for DongCai. The second male lead didn't have much chemistry with the ShanCai, so it's not one of those dramas where you would feel bad for the second male lead.
The acting and cast is perfect. All the boys in F4 are so handsome. Si is so brave, funny and bold. Lei is cute, quite and funny. Lei has to be my favorite, his eyes and teeth when he smiles melts my heart. The female lead ShanCai is cute and natural. She portrayed her character really well, but in the middle of the series she lost a lot of confidence in herself, and isn't like her character in the start, she cries too much ://
I can't believe all the main cast are rookie actors. Dylan did so well acting in his first drama, I'm so surprised he's only 19!
The music is spot on. Every time I hear the song "River" all I can imagine is F4 walking towards the camera. But I think they over played "Say something I'm giving up on you" sometimes it just doesn't suit the moment. I liked all of the chinese OST, even though I didn't understand the lyrics. lol.
Rewatch value
I would say 10, but towards the end it dragged along, and got confusing. But if the end was more better I would definitely say 10!
From here there's gonna be spoilers
Negatives;
Why the heck did they add in the sub story of Terence and Caina!!! I think when they came in the series got boring. Terence gave me the creeps tbh. They were such a waste of time. They could have used that time to give Ximen and Xiaoyo more chemistry.
Other than that I think all the other scenes were super fun to watch!
Positives;
I really like Zhuang (Si sister). She is so funny. She portrayed her character really well, I hope to see her in more dramas. She slayed her dancing scene.

The story line was awesome, I haven't watched the Japanese version or read the Manga so I can't compare. This drama always kept me in the edge of my seat, especially the last few episodes. I was low key hoping that they would kiss in the last episode.
The acting and cast is perfect. Kang Do young is really like a psychopath, his laugh/smiles always scares me. I love his acting so much, I hope he gets more lead roles in the future. The female lead is naive but not in a stupid way (like most female leads in kdramas). I love how she became more confident in the end. Cha Woo Jin was also super cool. I love how in the end he held Da Jung hand, a cute flash back from when they first met.
The music suited the situation/scenario. Most of the music was just instrumental.
Re watch value is definitely 10/10!! The ending is a cliff hanger, season 2 plss!!

It's so hilarious!!!
The story line is so funny, so many misunderstandings. It's not too deep. Lighthearted drama. Very good chemistry between the leads.
The actors are so funny. Reactions are priceless.
Not much music in the web drama. But their singing so hilarious!!! One of my favorite scenes.
Rewatch value- 10/10 definitely. Season 2 plssssss
Overall I absolutely loved this drama. If you want a super funny romantic comedy this is for you. It's impossible not to laugh in every episode.

The ending is sad and meaningful. "Goodbye, my youth. Goodbye, Ssangmun-dong” -Deok Sun
Teaches you how important and significant your youth is. Beautiful story. So many feels from this.
The plot and setting is on point. Love it!
Some parts of their acting was awkward.
It has a mixture of family, friendship, school, romance and real world problems that happened at that time.
I love how they interviewed the adult Deok Sun and Taek, and than the whole thing was just them recalling their childhood memories together, super creative.

The drama has an open ending. There are questions left unanswered such as;
- Are they together?
- If they're together what happens to his career, what happens to her gang?
- Why was the second male lead sitting in that room in the end?
etc. etc.
The plot was good. I liked how it was different, you would expect the gender roles to be switched. I love the girl badass character. I really wanted the second male lead to be with her, I was expecting her to open up a bit after seeing his sincerity, but noooo, the male lead had to ruin everything!! Arggg!
The acting was superb.
Definitely would watch a season two!

+ I love how this drama doesn't have those super overly dramatic family relationships like in most Cdramas.
+ You won't get a second lead syndrome here as they aren't that strong, especially Fu Pei who's the most annoying character in this drama.
+ The main leads relationship is super pure, genuine, cute and bubbly. I love how they are not swayed by the second leads and genuinely love each other. Gu Wei Yi rejecting girls is so cute and funny. Their chemistry is so good!
+ I love how Gu Wei Yi is so dedicated to pursuing Si Tu Mo, he googles tips and learns from others- but it always ends up being cheesy. hahaha.
+ No plot holes that I can think of
Cast-
+ Gu Wei Yi did an exceptional job in his role considering this is his first ever drama and he was 18 when they were filming.
+ There was no awkward acting between the leads even during the scenes that are uncomfortable.
+ Fu Pei acting was bad or maybe it's just the character he was playing idk, I don't like him in this series :/
Music-
+ The cat dog sound effects are so perfect
+ Nice OST even though I have no idea what the lyrics mean
Rewatch-
+ Would definitely rewatch!!

? The story line overall is good. Some small plot holes, and some of the romance is a bit draggy...
The plot will keep you hooked, and at the end of every episode there's always a cliff hanger
? The cast is perfect for each other. The main couple looks so good with each other, I loved how Shin, Shin mum and So Bong has light brown eyes, it's so pretty! xd. The acting is overall good, Gong Seung Yeon crying scenes has improved a lot, but some times she doesn't express sadness that well... Kudos to Kang Joon, his acting is spot on, he manages to convey feelings of two different characters well!
? Music is good, I cry every time "Love" and "Is it love" plays. Their whole OST is awesome! Always brings out the perfect vibe to suit each scene. One of my favorite Kdrama OST!
? I would definitely re watch!! I hope to see Seung Yeon and Kang joon together in another drama or real life! XD
This is definitely one of my favorite K drama in 2018, I hope this drama wins many rewards!!!

PLOT:At first I thought the plot was going to be about a powerful, manipulative female lead who is as sly as a fox. But I was so wrong! The female lead is a cute, innocent and naive girl, who is actually a fox. Lol. The plot was interesting up to episode 13 ish, but from there it became cliche and boring. The last 3 episodes are about who should die; they both love each other so much as would die for each other, each scene became quiet repetitive. The only thing that made me finish the drama was No Min Woo! He is so cute! I wished he could've had more screen time as he had so much potential.
Acting:
Both Lee seung Gi and Shin Min Ah are legendary actors, they both portrayed their characters well. Too bad the plot didn't develop their characters throughout the drama. Thanks to this drama I was able to discover Noh Min Woo, I'll definitely watch his other dramas, he is such an eye candy, heheheh.
Music:
I only heard 2 OST through out the drama, both sounds really good. I really like 'Trap' sang by the one and only Noh Min Woo. Every time there is a scene with Noh Min Woo and Shin Min Ah that song will play, and I'll just ball my eyes out because of second lead syndrome.
Rewatch value:
I wouldn't re-watch the whole drama as it does get quiet draggy in some episodes. But I'll definately rewatch the scenes with Noh Min Woo to help me get over my second lead syndrome. Lol

Warning this drama gives you second lead syndrome!Thanks to this drama, I've discovered Young Hwa, and he's now one of my bia wreckers. I'm planning on watching Heartstrings to get over my second male lead syndrome.
The plot is just like any other drama. A female lead and a couple of dudes that's into her. The female lead disguise as a guy and joins a boy band, the boys slowly fall in love with her. The female lead is naive, so the boys always cares about her. But in the end the female lead chooses the least compatible guy. The drama is light hearted and funny. No tissues neceassary.
Acting of female lead was awful. This is one of PSH first dramas shes the lead in, you can definitely tell her acting and emotions has improved a lot through out the drama!
I love the OST for this drama, definitely gonna save their songs to my playlist!
*Edit: Heartstrings isn't on Netflix, I'm so sad :(((((((

Do not watch this if you don't like cliff hangers.The problem with all short Kdramas is that they end with a cliff hanger because there's not enough episode to wrap things up. But this ending is much better and logical way to end the drama then other Kdramas such as Unexpected Heros. We need to know more!!!
The story line is just like any other drama 2 male liking the female lead. This film tells us about 2 childhood friends that grew up together since they were 3. When they get to College they get their own boyfriend and girlfriend, that when they realize their feelings....
The cast is perfect for this drama. But it was so hard to choose who to ship the female lead with, Jisoo and Jinyoung had a history of being the perfect second male lead, they have both made me shed buckets of tears in their past films.
Overall I would rewatch, and hopefully there is a season 2 because I really want to know if all the characters have a happy ending, and I want the guy that doesn't get the girl to have a happy ending.

This is a very simple short drama that has been dragged into 12 episodes.Personally I found most of the scenes in this drama cringy.
The story is quite random. They do not specify in detail the reasons why characters do things, (e.g Andrew quitting his job, why Choi Go likes chicken so much). There are many plot holes, especially towards the end. (e.g. what happens to Sohye dad?)
There are asmr chicken eating scenes, but not too many food scenes. If you are wanting lot's of food scenes i recommend watching the "Let's Eat" series.
The main cast acting is quite stiff and awkward. (Especially when the leads kiss). Andrews acting was quite good, but the rest isn't that great, which is understandable because they're still new to their acting career. Kim So Hyes acting has improved a tonn, I've watched her short web dramas on youtube (which is basically her voice overing and talking to the camera the whole time). I hope to see So Hye doing more bigger dramas like this!
Good OST, suits the situation. Lot's of happy up beat OST.
Sorry, I wouldn't rewatch :<

I haven't finished this drama yet. I watched it because I saw many good reviews about this, and I saw a teaser which was fun to watch. Personally I didn't like it...I watched up to episode 4, but stopped, my reasons are:(WARNING: May contain spoilers)
Park Shin Hye terrible acting/ character
This drama is kinda old and her acting has definitely improved a lot! When I was watching it tho I always cringed at PSH, sometimes idrk if it's because of her naive shy vulnerable character or because it's her acting...
Her character is really annoying, it's so stupid and has no confidence what so ever, she needs to talk! I understand that it's because of her past bullying, but I can't deal with it anymore :(
The plot is confusing and not in depth
I don't get PSH character, maybe with more episodes I can understand her character better.
How did Oh Jin Rok fall for PSH from watching her pick up rubbish, I find that really stupid
Sorry for bad grammar.
