Underrated unrefined gem

Okay. I feel the need to defend this short drama bc of all the negative reviews.

Actually, first you have to realise, that it is a short drama. 8 episodes- 15 minutes each. And that might be the reason why some people rate it that low - ''it's not finished''; ''There's too much plot and too little time''. Yes, valid. But. In this drama's defense, the difficult plot was well-adapted and well-paced.

I loved that this drama portrayed traumas that people have and how it affects their daily life and relationships with people. It was not hidden, not vaguely mentioned, it was very realistic in this aspect:
You get the back story of the main lead guy, who's dealing with PTSD and panic disorder bc of his past relationship. He's an ex-trainee with a beautiful voice who is now working as a wedding singer and vocal coach. You get to see how he's interacting with people, and his fear of contact with others, and large crowds.
Also his love interest - he becomes charmed by the main lead's voice and that's how he starts to pursue him- how romantic is that!

ALSO
Actually... this was a pretty unique story, not overused, not overdone. The main lead couple makes smart, realistic, not always positive decisions, gets hurt, try to fix problems ... There are no overly sweet or cringe moments, awkward lines, or non-realistic plot. So if you're looking for only fluff - this one's not for you. From one side it's dealing with very serious topics, but also it tries to focus on the healing journey of the main character and on moving on.

ROMANCE? UMMMMM,.... YES!
Yes, there were a feww cute moments. And taken into consideration that this is a very very short drama - there was a lot of them, so if you're thinking - ''Are they only gonna hold hands'' YES AND A LOT MORE.
Chemistry for me was 10/10. I found the main lead couple very charming and cute. let's just say they had their cute moments and nice montages.

MUSIC!
OH BABY how amazing and sweet it was. Finally, a drama where a soundtrack is not forgotten and is well used. Loved loved all the songs.

Room for improvement:
Definitely wanted a bit more explained about what happened to the 'evil person'. Bc of the length of this drama, you kind of get vague hints, but it ends just there.

IF YOU'RE THINKING - SHOULD I WATCH THIS? BC THERE ARE MANY BAD REVIEWS THAT SAY I WILL WASTE MY TIME...
YES, YOU SHOULD!
YES. This drama will warm your heart, make u angry, make u feel all the right emotions, and feel happy in the end. Yes, it's worth it.
