Never have a ever loved a drama as much as this. Ever. Out of all channels tvn always produces my most favourite dramas and is without a doubt my favourite channel. They always manage to produce a drama with endearing characters, great humour, amazing story lines and OST's that I find myself repeating over month and months. A lot of drama watchers either have this go under their radar or put it on their 'to watch' list. I am telling you now, MOVE THIS DRAMA TO THE 'CURRENTLY WATCHING LIST'!!!! NOW.
The storyline of this isn't merely a 'noona romance', to be honest I would count that as a minor detail in this drama (so if you don't like noona romances don't worry). What amazes me about this drama is how each cliche was re-written to fit the lighthearted and funny tone of the show to the point that you actually forget that it is a cliché. The humour is what propelled this drama to the top of my 'rematch because it's amazing list'.
The characters, there is no way I can write about them without gushing. Seo In Guk is one of my favourite actors and brought this drama to life through his portrayal of a high school student. Min Suk eventually was not a character that Seo In Guk was playing but it WAS him. Every line and expression drew me in and made me love him more and more. Min Suk was adorably childish but not in a way that made him annoying, but in a way where you loved his heart and the fact that he could always find the good in a person. Seo In Guk shocked me more when he played Min Suk's brother. How could a person act so different? Everything movement, expression even the tone of voice helped to identify Hyunsuk and highlighted how good Seo in Guk was at acting. The fact that he could instantly change characters just by his presence blew my mind.
Jung Soo Young at first was very weird. Very out there, but eventually she became endearing and such a nice change to the typical kdrama heroine. Her development throughout the drama was amazing. In the beginning she was someone who was pushed around and faded into the background. Eventually she blossomed and learnt to stand on her own two feet. She shined throughout the drama and was so relatable.
Lee Soo Hyuk surprised me in this drama. You go from feeling hate towards him to pity and rooting for him to have a happy ending. His cute childish bromance with Seo In Guk was always great to watch and made me smile. I hope he does more rom-com's as he was great in this and really showed of his acting skills.
I have to also say that the writers did an amazing job of making ALL characters shine not matter how small or large a role they had. Every character made the drama all the more amazing from the office staff to Min Suk's grandpa. As for the music? I still listen to all of the OST's over and over and especial love Seo In Guk- Finding myself. An amazing singer and actor, what can this man not do?
So if you find yourself contemplating whether you should watch this drama or not I am telling you…NO… urging you to watch this. You won't regret it and you will find yourself laughing and crying with all the characters.
