Yellow was a series I procrastinated to the fullest because I knew I'd love it from the start. There's something about this band concept that is irresistibly charming. Maybe it's the cast, which is as gorgeous as you usually find anywhere else, or maybe it's the music, reminiscing of many English and Korean indie bands, or perhaps it's the approach they used to show each life of the band's members, as clichéd as their stories might have been.
I do recognize the series had its plenty amount of flaws, such as the awkward acting (Kwan Soo, I am looking at you), and, sure, I'll admit it, the series is... romantic. Although it does want to depict the problems the youths face, it romanticizes the process through vibrant music, slightly sepia tinted visuals and sentimental quotations and lyrics- exactly the way I like my unrealistic idealization to be done. So, yeah, it might not attract every crowd, but the overall vibe of the series was tailor made for me. My standards are now off the charts after this...
Kudos to this series for making me a fan of Wetter, the band that owned the songs Yellow performed. If you're a fan of indie/rock music (The 1975, The Rose, Day6, Coldplay, etc), I suggest you check them out. Their "Romance in a weird world" ep is amazing, and their "Don't make me dance" song featured in the web drama is easily one of my favourites.
