I actually loved this drama, and it surprises me its rating is so mediocre.
As everyone says, the story is nothing new: huge star falls for normal girl. I actually like that kind of cliché story, but have seen many, many of those types of stories go wrong. But the story isn't whant made me love this drama, it was the characters. They were so very relatable! I keep reading the acting was poor, that there was no chemistry... I don't understand that at all!
Chen Momo was an unusual character being so consistently quiet (yes, consistently, because there are so many dramas that feature "shy" female leads that lose their"shyness" by the middle of the drama), but I loved her for being so stable and upright. I appreciated that the drama wasn't about her overcoming her shyness, because it's not a flaw -- she talked when she felt the need to, and with the people she wanted to talk to. Simple. Unlike what many people say, I actually thought her character was strong, but not in the loud way a lot of korean female leads are, for example. I also thought she was really cute, with her kinda dorky hairdo, long skirts and fun t-shirts.
I adored Mars too, because he was so kind to Momo. He's the talkative/annoying/superficial/arrogant type with most people, but with her he was always gentle, attentive, sincere, caring... I loved that he was very protective of her, but not in a macho way, because she supports him just as much. He loses his popularity, and because of this becomes quite vulnerable at times, which is why he touched me so much.
As for the music, I loved the song Mars writes during the drama (you'll hear it at the end), it's so sweet!
