A wholesome drama
So I know y’all must’ve seen very different reviews and must be really confused about this drama so I’ll have a little detailed review so that it can help you clear your mind!
Story — The reason I put the title as wholesome is that this drama not only gives us normal rom-com feels (which is in-fact its main genre) but also touches other genres too. It’s packed with everything— romance, comedy, music, suspense, angst, melodrama!
With the course of 16eps it takes us on an emotional roller coaster and once you start watching it you really end up wanting more.
The drama has a very pleasant and interesting start showing the bitter-sweet friendship between Rara and Jun and around ep 5-6 we have the first plot twist! So tbh, I didn’t feel it was that big of a deal. Yes, morally, lying was wrong but as long as he was mature and didn’t do anything beyond his boundaries I was completely fine with it. Also it was quite understandable that as Jun had a 'love on first sight' thing for Rara, he didn’t want her to treat him like a kid and have zero chances with her so out of innocence he lied. And also he was determined to tell her the truth. Moving on, in the mid episodes of the drama the suspense about the the stalker and who the actual Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol was, things got interesting. Like nothing till episode 12-13 was any normal cliche stuff. No one actually expected a rom-com to get that intense! Towards the end of the drama, the few last episodes, things did get cliche but still it worked fine.
Yes the ending could’ve been better just like how all the previous episodes were but only because of the ending of a few minutes I can’t deny the fact that the rest 15eps were extremely good and can’t rate it low. Basically the ending was actually what all of us wanted, happy, but just that the writer took a lot wrong path to express it. I’m glad it didn’t have unnecessary time skips. Just the one time skip in the end was a little too much I think. Instead of 5 years it could’ve been only 1 year then I guess most of y’all would’ve agreed more with it. Believing someone is dead and that person suddenly comes in front of you is very shocking but if we see this from the perspective of Rara and why she reacted very softly was all because of her positive and bubbly personality. We never saw her crying excessively in the entire drama and how she was always optimistic and didn’t get too sad also explains why she accepted Jun after all those years.
Characters , Acting — I loved each and every character of this drama! Not just the leads, the entire supporting cast was doing wonders. For Rara, I loved how adorable she was, always positive, dealing problems with a smile! Even if she was all cute and aegyo type everything time, it didn’t make me cringe even a bit! Seriously only Go Ara could pull this off! I think if it was for some other actress,
I might have cringed. For Jun, I liked how mature he was for his age, calm and caring everytime, doing everything for Rara even on denying at first. He’s was a total boyfriend material with a little tint of tsundere. And yes Lee Jae Wook was the best for Jun! Dr Cha was a very nice and supportive senior figure guiding Jun and Rara both, whenever needed. I liked how he accepted the rejection and didn’t pursue Rara anymore after that. Other than that Ha yeong, Sukyeong, Seungi, Mr Man Bok, the ladies, and all other characters made the drama so much fun and their acting was wonderful! The entire cast literally felt like a real family which gave so much good vibes!
Music— Every OST of this drama was so nice! Like after Angel’s last mission love, I found this drama in which every single ost is so good! Definitely playlist material!
Rewatch— As this drama had some secrets and suspense in the plot so having it already spoiled, rewatching might not be considered by some but apart from that, I know for sure that this will be great to rewatch to have all those good feels and all those butterflies back! So yeah can definitely be rewatched.
Overall I liked this drama. Just because of the ending I won’t rate it low because I really liked all the episodes before the end and how happy and good it made me feel. I’d recommend this if you want something FEEL GOOD or something fresh in rom-com . Do watch :)
