There were parts of the story that I was here for, while others I could have personally done without. The Main story line, beginning the Eye Candy band and their friendship, was the best part of drama. their friendship was endearing, and I think the best moments of the drama was from their interactions. I wasn't a huge Fan of Su-ah's characters, and the way the actress chose to portray here kind of irritated me. She felt redundant, and I found her character to be a little flat and underdeveloped to consume such a large part of the drama. Even with Ji Hyuk's and Su-ah's Romantic Story line, I never really saw chemistry between them. Which made me want to give up the drama at times because I was so disinterested in the love triangle. I just wanted to hear more music and other things related to the band.
I think the music in this drama was great, but I wish there had been more music from Eye Candy. I think by episode ten if I heard the song Byung Hee wrote for his muse one more time I was going to loose my head. So You could imagine how happy I was with "wake up",and that I actually liked it a lot.
For me this wasn't a life changing watch, and I can say in the past six years of Kdrama watching this doesn't fall into my top favorite. But I it was nice watch, and I particularly enjoyed the performance of most of the actors, (specifically eye candy), and will probably check them out if I see them in future drama's.

Of course, all the pretty boys this drama has to offer is a bonus. ;)

As you might have guessed from the title, this drama is about a highschool band and how they got famous n whatnot but the most amazing part in this plot is how they fall together and the characters are well acted.
I have to mention here the drummer, oh my god, is sooo cute! lol. They are indeed an eye candy! :D
If you haven't watched this yet, you are missing out on a very very very heartwarming drama. :)
Thats all.

Although you can find some cliché in the storyline, this drama is unexpectedly good. The acting and the songs are also more than satisfying. This drama makes Dream High look at least overrated. Shut Up: Flower Boy Band is probably the best drama on the youth/music genre.

-The characters fit really well with each other and were written well.
-The acting was better than I initially expected.
-Music was catchy and interesting
Bad:
-Background information and the actions taken throughout the drama based on that information was lacking. Found myself put off or confused once in a while.
-Plot was good, but not the greatest. It didn't get me addicted to the drama.
Overall: This is a good drama worth watching if you like music.

Before starting drama I wasn’t expecting anything other than music from it because of its musical genre. But after watching every single episode I expected more from this show and it gave me more!!
After reading synopsis it sounds like typical popular genre ‘school’ drama in which two groups are fighting against each other. Yes like many other dramas it has display of mature friendship, pure romance but other than that there are hidden messages of responsibility and it tells you to do the thing that you want to do and don’t force yourself to do the things that you don’t want to do. There are some touching moments. I won’t tell about ending because I don’t want to ruin your mood but I want to say, ending is perfect.
Every actor did great job in acting. They acted from their heart. I like all Eye Candy members including Byung Hee and Su Ah. It is one of the best acted dramas.
I have favorite OSTs for movies but I hadn’t favorite OSTs for dramas. Now, I have one. It is the first time that I liked every track from its OST. I didn’t like ‘Jaywalker’ first but then I loved it and…..‘Wake Up’…when I heard it for first time, at that moment I became addicted to it. I can’t stop myself from listening ‘Wake Up’.
I never felt boredom. It doesn’t have any dull moment and has only 45 minutes for each episode. So, I’m definitely going to watch it someday.
So I recommend this drama to every music lover (I mean everyone – who doesn’t like music!!??) and if you are looking for deep friendship, soft romance and music this is for you!!

Sidenote: For the quest appearance of Lee Min Ki his character and acting are scene stealing and even if you cannot commit to the whole drama at least watch the first two episodes to see his performance. I'm curious to see where the main's in this drama head next a lot of future talents are riddled into this production. At some point I'd love to see Jung Eui Chul in a positive leading man role where he is less the dark and twisty character to the drama.

I thought the acting was well done by everyone. The music is amazingly catchy - I've been listening to Jaywalking and Wake Up on repeat since I finished watching the drama!
I thought this was one of those rom-com dramas like You're Beautiful, but it was a real tearjerker. The ending really touched me and I have no idea what to watch next because I keep thinking about this drama and the EyeCandy boys.
Definitely recommend this to anyone who's thinking about watching it - if you like a moving story about life, friendship and music, this is your next drama!

It was such a good drama and I know that I keep repeating it but it just really is. One of the best dramas I've seen this year and in a long time. The drama made me rage in anger, smile widely at its cuteness, cry for hours,feel frustrated over their decisions but...tested my sense because the situation was both right and wrong. Overall the conflicts in this drama had a moral for every lesson and I for one learned a lot. I learned some valuable lessons in this drama: trust, communicate, and being there for one another.
