Like most well-rated and popular dramas, I was so late to watch this and I feel so ashamed. This was seriously so good and memorable, I'm having weird feelings of emptiness after watching this drama.

While I've seen a couple of shows where the action is taking place in a manga / book, this didn't feel like a strange concept to me. Extraordinary You managed to take this a step further and make it more psychological in a sense. I was a very big fan of the "stage" concept of this show, and how characters were self-aware or playing character within the manhwa. The female lead was very-cartoony-like, and also becoming more human as the story progressed. The characters were also able to play the cliche "shy heroine", "bad guy", "handsome popular boy" tropes really well. However, what surprised me the most was Haru's character, considering that the actor was so fresh to acting at the time. I was very swooned and in-love with his demeanour, history and the way he carries himself throughout the drama.

Although so many people call this drama cheesy and "wasted potential", I completely disagree as this show combines both stereotypical KDrama and something above that. Please disregard the reviews, watch a couple of episodes and see for yourself. Needless to say, this was so beautiful I need a season 2!
