Too Many Questions
As usual I dud prefer the movie version over the serial version. To be honest I watched this show originally because of Holland. I loved the actors and the chemistry was good.I don't really have a problem with with the story except I feel like they lost a couple of sections (or episodes in the series). Here come the spoilers....
1. Why does Tommy just leave? No explanation, no note, no nothing? Ha Da said he would support him with his music and then Tommy just poofs anyway!
2. Tommy comes back after 1-1/2 years or so and they both act like it's only been a couples of months?! Still no explanation but no anger either!
Those two points are what keep me from giving it a higher rating. I just cant get past them! If those gaps had been filled in it would have been a 9.5 easily. Otherwise it is a sweet little Korean love story. It is what I would expect from the 8 episode stories come from Korea.

Well, It Was Something
I placed a spoiler alert at the end of this review.The series/movie: The story idea(s?) seemed cute. However, there really is no clear story concept. The script is greatly under developed and goes in many different directions for no reason. It also had many elements that made no sense. See potential spoiler alert at the end of this review if you want more info. There is also very little character development with both leads. The acting from most of the cast was good.
The movie: They did a great job editing the episodes together to make a very cohesive movie version. They also added a nice introduction scene at the beginning of the movie to explain why Han Ba Da is moving to the town. There was one major editing problem towards the beginning of the movie.
Random Notes:
Watch if you have some time to kill and have nothing else on your must watch list.
******Spoiler Alert******
Another Korean BL series that has a 1-year time jump for no reason. There really is no explanation why Tommy left Han Ba Da. Yes, he wanted to continue with his music career but that didn’t mean he had to completely cut ties with Han Ba Da.
