I was thinking about my rating for this drama, and it made me want to write a quick review. I gave it a 7 originally, but thinking back to it now, I think that's largely to do with the first 5 episodes, which almost deserve a 10/10. But then, the rest of the show is more like a 6. So i feel like it doesn't even deserve a rating of a 7, but when I think about the quality of the first 5 episodes, I feel like I can't give it less than a 7.
The kids were fantastic, and the mystery and story set-up of their episodes was enough to draw me in completely. I was waiting impatiently each week for the next episodes. But even with the adult actors being who they are (I was very ready to love this drama, with just the actors alone), that couldn't stop the drama from dragging its heels for all of the middle episodes, because they apparently only had one very thin plot point to go on (first love). The show was so focused on the main pairing that everyone and everything else fell by the wayside.
It was a very pretty drama, and got better towards the end, but I think this was one of the most overrated shows of 2012, and did not deserve to hit 40 in the ratings. It wasn't a bad show, not at all. It just wasn't as good as it could have been, or as the reviews and ratings suggest it is.
