I started watching this drama after I found out that Lee Hyun Woo and Joy were in it. The plot of this story isn't anything amazing but something I really liked about this kdrama (I haven't watched a lot i'm a new fan) is that the girl is pursuing the guy first. I'm really drawn to dramas like that. I started getting tired of the basic guy is always chasing after the girl. It's more interesting to me when it's the girl pursuing the guy. The way they met was very different to me and I actually really liked their interactions. It was interesting enough for me to continue watching.

The obstacles they faced along the way to me was more then just people getting in the way of them. Yes, there was some of that, but it was also battles they faced with each other and with themselves. It was interesting to me how the male lead (Lee Hyun Woo) came to appreciate everything about the female lead (Joy).

The acting was really good. The friendship groups they all had made this show really heart-warming. The show to me was also sad at times. I can get really emotional so some parts of the show did make me cry. Especially when it came to them talking about struggles they're dealing with. I'm a fan of kpop so this kind of made me think about the idols I admire.


My overall thoughts is that this kdrama is pretty good. The way they met and everything they went through together and how it leads to the male lead finally realizing his feelings and not feeling trapped anymore. How he finally realizes his mistakes and matures enough to know how to take responsibility for it. How his friends helped him through it even if there were some bumps along the road. How the female lead shows her care and how that helps him grow and realize what love is. It was all so heart warming. It was interesting to see how they battled with the struggles they had to face and the jealousy that other people around them had.


It was also more then just that. Something else I want to add is that the growth the male lead has is great. In the beginning he's blinded by his own ego and in a way sees everyone around him as a puppet for his own music. Its not that as soon as the female lead shows up he changes right away. It takes time for him to realize the blessing that has come to him. In the beginning even he is just seeing her as a puppet that he can control to get what he needs. It's also not that he's a bad person. He's gone through things that we get to know throughout the drama that makes him like this. He's stuck in a deep dark hole and just needed a push out of it. This was my interpretation of his struggles and feelings and you might feel a different way but this is what I thought of this drama and the actors.
