I was not expecting a masterpiece so it I enjoyed it for what it is.

The story is a typical wattpad or fanfic material. I feel like I've read this kind of plot over and over already. That being said, the story was not novel for me but I liked this kind of cheese and trope so I consumed this one with gusto. At first, I was hesitant with the main leads' chemistry. Probably because at the first few episodes neither one of them is actually likable. But if you actually gave it a chance, the character growth is fantastic.

Sooyoung and Tae Joon did well although I think even rookie actors could've done this show too. After the initial unlikability of both HJ and GY, I was always smiling when I see them both on-screen. I am convinced of their chemistry and love story. I also didn't care for the other characters in this show (well I liked JJ in the beginning - so much potential in his character that got wasted). The "past" was an overdue arc that I stopped caring for it halfway through the show. I only really liked the relationship build-up between the main leads. I feel like we were robbed of more moments with the two of them. Give me more HJ and GY lovey dovey moments. They should've just focused on the love story instead. Lots of unnecessary plots in there that the writer decided to stop caring midway.

I liked the songs used in this show albeit a bit overplayed but that's not an issue for me because Kdramas tend to overuse their OSTs. Pity though because they could've put more songs in there considering the main character is supposedly an idol.

Overall, it's an okay show to pass time. If you want to watch something with a grand plot and more substance, this show is not for you.
