Despite everyone loving 1997 better, my favorite of all the sequel is actually this one.
This is the first drama that I've reviewed with 5 stars 10/10. The only thing I wasn't fancy is the music but this is totally preferences as I don't like the oldies songs.

This is probably the only movie that I would re watch again and again because it combines all my favorite component of a drama. No extreme dramatic plot, very comedic, romantic, friendship, family, siblings, neighborhood aka parents friendship/ relationship (no typical mistress/divorce/money etc etc issue which portrayed mostly in recent drama - I think this has to do with the time where the scene is set) and last which is my absolute favorite is the lesson learnt or moral they teach. I have to say the acting of every single cast is amazing! This is probably the first time I love all of the main cast and how they portray their own unique characteristic. Everyone shines with their eccentric personality. Also probably the only drama where you won't find anyone to hate. No excessive climax but still so damn interesting to watch.

The romance side of it has a very big twist. I had a feeling the writer changed the lead actor after the eps 10 as PBG is getting much popularity with his acting and face. I honestly feel so bad for KJH as I think the he and DS have so many funny interesting interaction with each other, but honestly, despite my favoritism I think it makes sense who DS actually ended up with. After the more eps going through I kinda understand why he didn't get the girl and hence the lesson learnt, I especially like the scene when KJH missed his last chance and crying inside his car on the rainy day and the words he talk about fate/timing isn't really the biggest issue but he being hesitant from the start. I was like screaming, you are right! you should have grab her from the start! then no one will even snatch her from you, but the constant rejection causes all this, the fact you are running away is the only reason why the timing fails. His last confession is so damn touching, I cried! kinda feels better to know in real life he actually get the girl! good for him. Although, I have this strong 2nd male lead fever with this series, I actually also rooting for CT as I fell with PBG acting with CT. I think this is by far his best drama of all time. He portray CT so well, eccentric introvert genius who is not shy with his feeling at all and all his smiles and cries! he portray CT to be strong but also sensitive. I typically loves RDR being the adviser too and KJB being sort of dumb looking but absolutely sweet and loving brother also obviously DS fun eccentrics and all the parents too. everyone just did so well!

I especially loved the mood and setting where it portray those time where things are so much simpler yet romantic and much more fun where you spent times with people. Kinda reminds me of those good times which I think kids nowadays will never ever have the chance to enjoy. Absolutely well made drama, nothing much to pinch at all. Good story, good directing and crazy good actors, definitely highly recommended!
