Replay: The Moment When It Starts Again (2021)

The Main actress is great?

Yes, I did come for Miyeon ?
I love the main Leads and this type of Drama is my taste ?

I think the writing was also pretty spotty, there were several plot points that were introduced and then randomly dropped, and I feel like we didn't get too much into the characters' individual motivations aside from the two male leads. There was also a lot of filler that wasted valuable episode time as well. I also think, while the male lead definitely grew as a character by the end, I think there could have been more actual buildup of he and the female lead's relationship - there wasn't much progression of that dynamic from Episode 1 to 10.

All this being said, the series still gave me the warm feelings a cute romance story always does. It was also a very aesthetically pleasing series, with beautiful sets, outfits for all the characters, and great music.
I would definitely recommend it?

Another second-lead syndrome~

Yes, I did come for Miyeon but I definitely stayed for HwiYoung.

The story was basic but enjoyable. The screenplay could have definitely been better.

As for the cast, I have a lot to go about for this one. First of all, surprisingly I have seen all of them before: Kim Min Chul in "Single and Ready to Mingle," Miyeon from (G)idle, Choi Jisu from "Convenience Store Fling," HwiYoung from SF9 and Marco from the Unit. For her first webdrama, Miyeon didn't do half bad. Her visuals were stunning though. Min Chul was quite stiff; I think he's just visual material. As for Jisu and Marco, I think the acting came naturally. Their relationship was so cute, although I like them with the friend dynamic more. Finally for my favorite character, HwiYoung did a okay job as well--he just looked really tired throughout the whole thing. I highly doubt his character is like that so I'm just hoping he catches some rest.

Overall, I would NOT RECCOMEND unless you are a fan other either of the k-idols or k-actors or unless you have absolutely nothing to do.

Replay? Replay.

So I was randomly going through my watchlist on Viki and I see this. I saw the summary and I thought I wasn't going to watch it, but then I saw the episodes were only about 10-15 minutes long so I thought to myself, yeah I'll try it and see how it goes. It wasn't disappointing. What I specifically liked about this was that the show went back and forth with the past and present, which looked really nice. And can we talk about how the group is squad goals?? They get along so fine, it's actually kind of unbelievable that they're acting-

Cho Mi Yeon was such a sweet character. She was so kind and oblivious and I loved that about her. Gong Chan Young is the most adorkable male lead character ever. I loved him, he's so wholesome ahhhh. Lee Ji Hoon was one fine ass second male lead. I wish there was more insight on that moment with the waitress though, manz needs some love after being stuck on Mi Yeon for so long. Im Seo Eun is the essence of a female friend, she was so supportive. She was so cute whenever it came to Shim Tae Young, she denied everything yet she didn't. I could tell she liked him a lot though. Shim Tae Young is the kind of guy who can be everybody's friend, and I love it.

This show lowkey needs a season 2, I want to see everyone's relationships develop.

Movie length KDrama with fabulous OST

Cute show clean for teens with a sweet romance, normal teenage angst over whether their crush likes them back makes for a short watch and pleasant entertainment.
A transfer student from an arts school with exceptional piano skills is approached to join the reforming school band. He agrees when he realizes that the girl he fell for at first sight is part of the band. Included is the KDrama requisite meddling between the ML and FL becoming a couple from the one-sided crush SL’s lies.
The story switches back-and-forth between the high school aged first crushes, and later adulthood as the crushes never died, amidst yet more delays in confessing, to ultimate fruition.
It’s worth watching for the OST alone, which is jam-packed with fabulous songs.

Just my thoughts, don't be so serious

I watched this drama because of Miyeon <3. Also before watching it, I read 2 reviews about it and if I'm not wrong, it's 4 or 5 out of 10 and one of the user mentioned that it is pretty boring. So I watched the drama without expectations.

After watching it, the drama definitely exceeded my expectations. I would like to talk about what I like first. So first of all...of course is Miyeon <3. As a rookie actress, she did a great job. She gave me butterflies LOL. The other casts are fine too, not really mind blowing but not really bad either. The drama also nailed the high school rom-com vibes. I felt like I was back at school with a girl beside although I'm being forced to stay at home because of 20K Covid-19 cases daily in Malaysia :( .

Now, I would like to talk about the things I think need improvement about this drama. So first of all, the transition is very random. In one of the episodes, episode 7 if I'm not wrong, Ji Hoon just suddenly gets mad at the band members just because they make a mistake. It's weird how he gets mad out of nowhere. Like okay, I get it that a drama needs to have this kind of plot but it's just very random to me.

Apart from that, I also think I should share this. Some users might find the timeline confusing. Including me. So, not a good thing.

Moving on, I'll say talk about the OST.
I would say it's pretty good . Would I listen to the whole playlist again? Yes definitely!

Last but not least.
Would I recommend you to watch it? Yes, for sure!

Actress Miyeon!!!

The first reason why I’m watching this web drama is because of (G)I-DLE’s Miyeon. This is her acting debut and she’s doing great! Their school band, "Neon Paprika" looks promising, I’m expecting a great chemistry and performances from them. Miyeon’s role, Yoo Hayoung is the band vocalist so we’re gonna hear her angelic vocals in the drama!!!

The other characters are great too! I’m especially interested in SF9’s Hwiyoung, in contrast to his cold aura in the drama, he is really cute off cam. I really wishing that Hayoung will end up with Jihoon (Hwiyoung).

same high school dramas; very cliche

this high school drama is the same high school dramas. its not my taste.
its always the same personality of the female leads. (bubbly and acts like a little girl)
its always the same personality of the male leads. (strong and that mean looks)

i am not very good at reviewing dramas so i will try my best.

this drama got really hyped up because of (G)-IDLE miyeon. same goes for me, i was extremely exited because it was her first time acting. looking through her skills, its not good, her emotions were really bad and she couldn’t express it during the episodes and it was boring but its her first acting and she has probably never trained acting before so i wont say anything more towards. her role is the same typical female lead, so i cant really say anything about her acting skills alot, all i can say is its not that great and i think some people will agree on this.

the male lead isnt that bad but hes similar to Miyeon. couldnt express. his face was so still and it was just not good, overall he is an experienced actor and i have seem him in previous dramas and they werent that bad.

the rest of the actors/actresses were good.

unfortunately, i dropped this drama so i dont know what really happened towards the end and like i said from the start, its the same high school dramas, kinda disappointed. they could of add some something interesting instead of the same other high school dramas. i dropped this because its not my taste because i prefer a non-weak female lead who doesnt act like a 5 years old but that doesnt normally happens in school youth dramas sadly. i like how they formed a band together, its was nice to see them all together. i also didnt really need to see the ending as well because its was obvious who she was going to get with.

overall, normal school setting, nothing is really different.

the OSTs were amazing. its was nice that they made alot of OSTs to only 10 episodes only. i like it.

i wont recommend myself to rewatch this but if you like a cliche school dramas, then rewatching this is a 5/5.

i am sorry if my review was bad. this is my first time doing this. i apologise if this is bad. i tried my very best to review on how much ive saw.

thank you : D

the cast?

The last year 2020 was tough, but for those of us who discovered the pleasures of Korean dramas, it was a bit easier to take. We got some amazing viewing experiences thanks to dramas like 'Crash Landing On You', 'It's Okay to not be Okay', 'Start-up' and more. Some dramas premiered in 2020 and are continuing in 2021 like 'True Beauty' and 'Lovestruck in the City'. 2021 also brings us some great dramas to look forward to.
the cast is stunning!
take note; their acting might not be on-par with veteran actors/actresses as some of them have been K-pop idols
(singers), not actors/actresses.
highly recommended for fans of (G)I-DLE's MiYeon, SF9's Hwiyoung and HBY's Marco as they will acting this web series. it hasn't been released yet so I will add the review later.
can't wait to binge watch this
