Jun-pyo was so toxic regardless of him changing.
Jun-pyo's character was like any of the F4 stories, the leader of F4. And the bully of the whole school. Leading him to do whatever he wants. At first, I LOVED the drama. Like I couldn't get enough of it. But now, it's like "meh." I've never realized how toxic Jun-pyo was. Even with Jan-di in his life at first. Remember that episode where Jun-pyo grabbed Jan-di by the collar because he was pissed about her photoshoot with a guy? Yeah. There was NO REASON for Jun-pyo to do that. Sure, you could say that Jun-pyo never had a girlfriend so he didn't know how to act. But he had a whole damn sister yet was never hands on hands with her. Or any girl in the school other than Jan-di. Personally I think Meteor Garden is better than this show.Also, Remember when Jan-di supposedly slept with a guy? Jun-pyo couldn't care less if the students did shit to her. Knowing that they would.
Toxic relationships in K-dramas are normalize or even were. Even if Jun-pyo changed and came back for Jan-di doesn't mean he's a good person overall. Also. Don't even get me started with Yijang and Woobin. I love Woobin but like come on, Jun-pyo in the first few episodes gave Jan-di the F4 card. Leading her to get emotionally tortured by the students. Anybody could tell that a Boy bullying a Girl is wrong. Ji-hoo was the only one that somewhat helped Jan-di? Y'know how the guys tried to r@pe her? Or at least I think. Anyways, Ji-hoo came and told those mf's to get lost. Is Jun-pyo stupid? Jun-pyo is literally telling a bunch of guys to go and torture a teenager. A girl at that.
Honestly, the only thing I really liked in this show was the damn music. The intro and outro music, the acting was okay for a 2009 show but Jun-pyo's character could've been better. Also. Before I end this review, I wanna say that Jan-di's character got somewhat weak overtime. She was strong and brave when it came to F4, but later on she became more stupid and soft. I've re watched this show probably over 3 times, but I suggest you re watch it if you wanna understand the background relationships like Eun, Yijang, Woobin, JI-hoo, Jan-di's family and more. The main couple is cute looks wise but relation wise? Not much.

Mixture of all things amazing!
This show, is AMAZING!Depise the plot sounding unoriginal, 5 friends working at the same hospital while juggling their personal life's. Sounds boring right? Well, get ready for the laughter, romance and tears!
The show is about what I just said, 5 friends working at the same hospital as they've been friends for over 20 years. One word to describe their friendship, wholesome! I barely watch any youth shows since I'm a romance freak but the youth in this show with the 5 main characters is AMAZING!! TOO AMAZING TO EVEN DESCRIBE. The side characters were also great in their own ways too! Loved Gyeo-Wool, Min-ah, Hong-do and Yuk-bok!!
Acting? Geez, IT WAS TO AMAZING! Sometimes I even believed I wasn't watching a show!! The acting with the 5 friends, the patients, the side characters, TOO AMAZING! I even believed the wholesome friendship between the 5 main characters!! I really don't care if you hate this show, regardless, you have to admit the actors did their parts EXTREMELY well!
The music, OH MY GOSH. AMAZINGGGG AS WELL!! I loved the band! Their music sessions were so wholesome and sweet! Loved the OST!
Rewatch Value? VERY HIGH! Regardless of it's time duration being SUPER long, I would defo re watch this show for a lot of the wholesome moments between the patients, main characters and side characters!
In total, PLEASE WATCH THIS IF YOU HAVE REGRETS! I remember having this show on my plan to watch for SOOOOO LONG! I only first wanted to watch for Jo Jung Suk, although I loved his character in this show, all the cast MAKE the show AMAZING AS HELL! I really regret avoiding this show for a long time, don't do the same thing I did :) This show has everything! Expect for action and gore, but the mixture of every genre in this show was wellie done!
Currently going to watch HP2 :D

Real Life Situations.
The show is about two friends, becoming lovers. a kdrama trope you're mostly going to see. This show made me feel A LOT of emotions. Mostly going from happy to mad. And repeating.The story is pretty real. Y'know parents not liking the guy her daughter's dating and thinks of him as family. Pretty alright. And with the whole thing with the se*ual harassment at work situation.
The only thing that's stopping me from this becoming my favorite is Jin-a's character. She's too weak, like very weak when it comes to standing her ground. Sure she did argue with her Mother saying "Jin-hui's the one" but that's all she can do. Say that. She can never stand her ground and stop making her self be a controlled puppet. I consider her one of the most annoying female leads out of all female leads I've seen. The only characters you can even like a bit is Jin-a's dad, Jin-hui's Sister and himself. Maybe a bit of Jin-a's brother.
The whole timestamp being an hour and something something minutes long was SO unnecessary honestly. Hospital Playlist did WAY better with the time duration than these fools did. Made me even have to use speed by 1.5x on Netflix to not waste time.
The acting is too amazing to even talk about. ESPICIALLY. ESPICIALLY JIN-A'S MOTHER! OMO, her acting to AMAZINGGGG!!! They're even some times when I even hate her character to the fullest, but can understand her to! I watched this drama because of Jung Hae In and Son Ye Jin, wasn't really worth much though.
The music, shut up with it already. I know One Spring Night does it but geez bro, the sound track here is cringe, well, one of them. "It's hard to be a woman"," SHUT UP! The worst soundtrack in this show. Love Alarm even had better soundtracks then this lol and I don't even like Love Alarm that much.
The re watch value? LOW! I cannot stand Jin-a's annoying mother in SO much scenes, could only re watch for my lovely Jung Hae In and a bit of Son Ye Jin
In total, If I knew how bad the female lead was, I wouldn't have watched. So I wouldn't recommend this to anybody unless they wanna ki*l themselves with long time duration and boringness in this show.
I could've even re watch Vincenzo with this ridiculous timestamp. I consider anybody who gives this a 9 or higher a straight out monster, sorry not sorry. One Spring Night is better in some aspects.
I'm only giving it a 7 BECAUSE of the main couple <3

What.
At first, I wanted to wait until the series was over since I knew this was going to make me have suspense for the past weeks.This drama literally has everything I could ask for.
Now, I am a BIG romance person. I usually dip series whenever there's barely any romance. But with Vincenzo, I just couldn't.
Cha-Young and Vincenzo weren't a big ship for me to be honest. I shipped them but not so much.
Also, THE MUSIC IS EVERYTHING. AND THE VISUAL EFFECTS.
Gosh, from day one I've loved the Visual Effects and Music, made me so interesting!
Jun-woo (or Han-seok) was my FAVORITE VILLAIN! They did everything that I could ask for with his character!
Han-seo became one of my favorite side characters and I was disappointed when he died honestly.
The people at the Plaza were also my favorites as well! I loved all of them to the core.
The drama left me with many questions regardless of the end. I never give dramas with barely any romance a 10 but Vincenzo does the spot! I could defo re watch this! Never regretted the 3 days I watched this
Even if you're a big romance person, please check this out! It hits the spot! I'm defo going to try watching more Crime Dramas later on!
