The story was endearing, though I personally think the plot moved a bit slow. Or maybe I was just too sleepy at the time, and two hours was too much for me then. What I liked the most about this movie though was that I never expected to laugh so much. I thought it was a really heavy melo, but it proved me wrong. I think I may have laughed more than I cried. But the thing is, the moment I started crying, it was too hard to stop. The acting was very outstanding. Considering that Song Joong Ki barely spoke, his acting was really impressive. As for Park Bo Young, I never saw her in anything than this, but she's quite good. She just grew in me unknowingly as I watched.
Overall, this movie is indeed a masterpiece, and deserves all the love it's getting. And I'm not saying this out of my love for Song Joong-ki. But then again, he definitely owned this movie. He is the heart of it, hence the title.

The story is amazingly simple. Yes, the plot just revolved around the problems kids and teachers are facing at school, but the way this drama portrayed this story really struck through the heart. Through the various characters in the drama, the viewers were given a reflection of the sometimes harsh, sometimes bright realities happening at school. The only thing I may not have liked about the story was how it mostly focused on reviving Nam-soon and Heung-soo's friendship. I did find their friendship wonderful, but I think there were other characters that could've been explored more (like Kang-joo). I commend the actors though for their believable acting (although most of them were rookies, I was surprised that they're not that bad at all).
In dramaland where almost everything that happens doesn't seem to really happen in everyday life, this drama proves to be different from the rest. It breathes reality.

Acting/Cast: Everyone was spectacular in this drama. Kim Seul Gi, who plays the chief editor role, stole the show for me. She has a very loveable character and is pretty hilarious. The actors act the serious scenes really well and also act the funny scenes perfect.
Music: Ok, so JRabbit is plastered all over this drama. Which it shouldn't be a bad thing, but it was this time around. While she does have a beautiful voice, I got tired of hearing the same exact song for such a long period of time. Park shin hye would come on sometimes and sing her song. But I didn't really start hearing any difference in music until the later episodes.
Story/Overall: Ok let's end this thing. The story was pretty good. It wasn't anything spectacular but it also wasn't recycled (which is good). There is a WHOLE LOT of aegyo and super cute acting in this so, if that makes you mad, then you'll want to kill yourself at the end of this drama. The story starts off really good. They introduce a lot of characters who are all very different and come from all different places. I loved watching this drama at first. Although I loved the two mains, I still found myself attached to everyone else because it just felt like one big misfit family.
The story progresses really good, but only for about half the drama. It falls REALLY flat towards the end. I couldn't wait to finish it so I could just be done with it. It felt like the relationship between the two mains peaked too early. Like there was nothing left for them to do for like 4 episodes lol. And as I mentioned earlier, I loved the sub-cast, but the back-story for some of them was totally non-existent. Which made me really mad. In those 4 episodes where the leads weren't doing anything they could've really expanded upon the stories of the other characters so that you can really feel immersed in the drama. They all live in those cheap run down apartments. But why? What happened in their lives to make them all live close to poverty? Everyone has a unique story as to why they are at where they are at in life. And they do kind of explain for a lot of the characters, but some are left out. They have characters that appear in almost every episode that you just never know anything about lol. That was annoying. They could've developed the back story a little more to divert attention from the mains because the mains ran out of juice towards the end.
Rewatch value is low. Mainly because it's pretty boring maybe halfway through and towards the end. You'll be glad that it is finally finished.

I loved the moments of Dokko Jin when he struggled with his feelings for Goo Ae Jung. :)
How Goo Ae Jung procected the secret of her friend, how she helped her escape. It was really touching..
Maybe I'm not very helpful but this is what I write about this drama :)

Story is what pulled me into this movie. Cast was what kinda kept me through the film. Music was ok; there was this scene were the violin piece just came in from nowhere and it was just so blatantly obvious, it made it horribly melodramatic.
Positive thing: I want to run my hands through Takayuki Yamada's long hair. I mean, even though his character looks and acts like a complete douchebag, just look at that hair. It's so shiny and it looks like he rewashes it for every scene. Glorious.

The first few episodes are really adorable, love the characters of both the leads, I like them both as actors.
Then from the middle to the end (even though its still beautiful) the story drags a lot. The pace is really really slow and situations repeat themselves one way or the other to the point that you have to ff to get on with it.
But for anyone who likes a romantic melodrama, this is not to be missed. I have already watched it twice and probably will next time too when I need to watch a sad and romantic story with a nice ending.
Mind you all the cliches are there, the dreaded love triangle, terminal illness, birth secrets and many more. But still its a beautiful watch.

The first episode had me completely hooked within ten minutes. For me, that's saying something. I usually find that dramas tend to keep the story pace fairly slow in the first two episodes, thoroughly setting up the drama. That has always annoyed me, but then again I'm a very impatient person. So to see this drama really setting things up in the first two episodes with plenty of action... Needless to say I was thrilled.
To put it simply, Shut Up Flower Boy Band is superb. It takes bromance, first loves, music, and the struggles of being a high school student and rolls it all into a big ball of indie rock love. Each character has their own unique struggles to discover themselves. It shows the difficulties of coming into adulthood and having to balance friendship, love, school and work. I found myself laughing one minute, then crying for the next ten. Other times I was on the edge of my very uncomfortable seat, anxious to see what would come of their newest dilemma. More than once during an episode I found myself shouting at the screen, telling characters what an idiot they were, and getting just as frustrated as they did when things didn't turn out the way they'd - and I'd - hoped.
Perhaps the best part about this drama is the sheer imperfections. The characters aren't perfect. They aren't bubbly and cute. They are hard, raw and almost violent in their passion for life, love and music. That may be what makes it so addicting and fascinating to watch.
Shut Up Flower Boy Band is a must watch. I highly recommend it - and a box of tissues.
