Ok. I know that I gave a 10 in every category, but that is because it truly deserves it. Let's start with the story. The story is something that has never been done (at least according to what I have watched), and it isn't super obvious. Yes, every drama has it's obvious moments, but the really important ones in this one aren't at all. Also, the writers did a really good job at keeping the audience at the edge of their seats. I found myself enjoying each and every moment of the drama and was dying to watch the next episode. The cliffhangers killed me but now you can all watch it to your heart's content (aren't you lucky). This drama has a balance in the funny, light-hearted stuff and the heart-wrenching, throw yourself out of the window moments. I won't lie, I cried my heart out watching this at times, but it's not a depressing drama. It has a lot of funny moments and tend to include some of these moments in between sad scenes (maybe to make us less depressed? I don't know). But I think the romance of this really stood out to me as it wasn't the typical cliched couple. And the plot didn't overwhelm you with the idea of aliens; it's subtle and enjoyable. ^-^ Now to talk about the acting. The cast was awesome and they all have a history of wonderful acting skills. The couple had great chemistry and have starred in a movie together before which may have helped with this. I haven't watched the movie yet so I can't really compare or anything. But you don't just fall in love with the main cast, you fall in love with everyone (or hate them to the end's of the earth). As for the music, I thought it was really put together well. They didn't overuse any of their songs and I find myself humming them throughout the day. I don't think anyone would be disappointed in them. Lastly, I would definitely watch this again. Maybe I might give it some time before I marathon it because there's too many feels at this point to re-watch it. Although the mystery part of it will already be known, I would still be happy to sit through it all over again. I highly recommend this drama. Don't let the alien concept dishearten you as it's not forced down your throat. Just sit back and enjoy the show. ~^-^~
