School days of Korean drama
You may find my review headline weird of sort. This isn't a drama about school of any type or grade. However, for me the experience I got from watching this drama was the same I got when I watched School Days the anime.In fact, I stopped watching dramas for about a month after I finished this one. I skipped a lot toward the end as well and it still get on my nerves to this day. I came to this after I watched the Flower of Evil. Both of them has the same female lead which I liked after watching the Good Doctor. The actress there was so bright and gave me a good and warmth vibe. In Flower of Evil she showed lost of those great feeling. Even in this drama, I don't blame her or her character. I hated the love triangle and how the male lead kept hanging on the other witch. It was hard for me to keep watching while those two kept hanging out. That witch was the worst character I ever saw till this day, and that guy was so annoying to the extent where I skipped his other dramas besides Vincenzo.
I completed this drama with a broken heart not for what happened at end but for the huge amount of corruption of morals I experienced while watching it. It's indeed School Days of Korean Dramas.

Just great!
Stay with me was the best song or OST in this drama. I loved it so much and I go back to watch the first episode to listen to that part.The female lead was great and pure. I loved every moment with her in the screen. The male lead was great as well. The story was spot on. I loved every aspect of it. Even though, it doesn't align with my beliefs, I find it very appealing and smooth. I think this is the first drama where I couldn't hate any character. The cliffhangers and how episodes ends in this drama were out of this world. Especially with the catchy songs.

You can't ask for more
I will keep my review short. This is an excellent drama from story to acting to OST. I loved everything about it. It is short, and I never thought it would be this good. I can rewatch it, again and again, to live through the funny moments I lived while watching it the first time.What I love about the story is how they kept it clean with no useless fat in it. Most dramas have a knack for stretching the dramatic or tragic aspect in them to make it to the 16th episode. The fat in those dramas makes me heartache and usually I drop them if they continue to delay things and complicated them. Often, I fast-forward while watching the last episodes to avoid ruining my mood. Well, this drama doesn't fell under this category, it's the opposite.

I don't trust the rating and I won't!
I never reviewed anything in my life. I comment on episodes when I hate or like something in them. However, I never wrote a review before. This review is my third review for anything, and I will follow a particular template or structure as I saw in others.Let me start with how much I enjoyed watching this show. It was a fantastic journey that I cherished and didn't want it to finish. I hold myself from watching episodes one after another to keep the feeling as long as I can. The lead actress was spot-on. Her acting in Dr. Romantic was fantastic, especially when it comes to the romantic part. She seems pure and suits her characters.
The chemistry between the leading trio was unbelievable how the story developed made it close to reality and added so much to its value. What made it even better was the likability of the evil characters or what should be in the eye of other dramas. I hated them for some episodes, then I sympathized with them and liked them toward the middle.
The way they directed and produced this drama was unique, from the choice of sites where they shot the scenes to how the camera roles. I enjoyed the portrayal of the buildings and how they move the camera to cover where you should look.
I saw some negative reviews saying that it was empty and didn't deserve the time to watch. I find these reviews weird. I want to read their point of view regarding "It's okay not to be okay" and how they stretch the staring scenes of the lead character whenever they meet or say "I love you" or "Why you don't love me".
