I stumbled upon the show by accident and at first was turned off by the idea of two dimensions. I seen this done before in other ways and it’s OK but I wasn’t sure about this one. I decided to give it a try because of Lee Jong Suk, as I have liked him in a few other shows. I’m glad I decided to go with it. It took a couple episodes to really grab me but by episode four I was sucked in – pun intended.
The writers of the show definitely put a lot of thought into what they were doing because even when something doesn’t make sense they tie up the loose end later in a way you weren’t expecting. Sometimes I forgot that Kang’s world was a cartoon and whatever was happening could be seen by everyone else in the “real” world. The only thing that really got on my nerves was the doctor in the real world - if that’s what a professor is like to his students he should not be teaching. Thank goodness none of my professors were ever like that I might have punched them in the face.
The show isn’t perfect it has issues like any other show. But if the idea is to be entertained and drawn in to the point where you really hate for the show to end that I think the writers and overall production team have succeeded.

Short and Swwet

I had seen this title a couple years ago but wasn't very interested in it. I wasn't even sure how a format like this would work so I didn't give it a chance. The other day it came up again and I decided to give it a chance and I was greatly surprised when I realized that all the guys in the show were members of SF9. I have recently discovered them due to two of their members being on Imitation and competing in Kingdom: Legendary War.
The writing is not original but very cute with how each of the storylines are written and wrapped up very nicely. I decided to watch every storyline but chose Chani's first.  I like how you can go back and choose a different path and the story still seems fresh. I give a lot of credit to the young actress who has to play these different emotions. One could argue that it seems silly if she could fall for these different guys but that's the twist of the story. That in each pathway you do believe it.
Part of me wishes this had been a longer drama with more choices but at the same time I'm glad that it still feels complete regardless of the fact that each storyline only gets two specific episodes for it.
The music is cute and peppy and does well to move the story along. I'm assuming it's the group singing.
I had to laugh at the references to the group and that the name of the school is their old group name, as well as the reference to the number nine.
I really haven't watched the four main guys act before but they handle their characters very well.
I think this is definitely a good choice for a light easy watch on a weekend when you have some time to kill. I know that while I have watched all the pathways and know how they end I will probably watch it again. This is definitely not the kind of show where you can watch all of the episodes in order even if you've already watched it because it would just be awkward to do it that way.

I’ll write my own destiny please!

I just finished the show and I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending. In many ways the show is predictable but it could be that I've watched a lot of movies and read a lot of books so I always have I sense about how things are gonna happen from the tiniest close early on.

And yet, the show still pulled me in. It was a very sweet and enjoyable show. Are usually like to watch the standard 16 hour show. But lately I've been getting into the shorter web series because I don't have a lot of time. And so far I have not been overly disappointed. Are usually like them and then move on.

But this one has wormed its way into my heart and I probably will watch it again maybe even tomorrow.

The storyline is nothing completely out of the ordinary and yet it has its own unique take on love and destiny. While there are subtle hints given throughout the various episodes they're careful not to give away everything. But if you pay close attention you'll probably figure things out for yourself.

I really enjoyed the acting of the main cast hung I've never seen in anything before. Go Chae Kyung remind me a lot about myself in some ways perhaps that's why I liked her character so much. However, I don't really know anyone like Shin Ho Yoo - but that might be a good thing as he is the God of destiny. I don't think I ever want to meet the person writing my story.

If you ever had a little bit of time and you just want to enjoy a fun no-frills story I highly recommend this one.
