It's been a while since I saw this, but I remember it well. I'll keep this review short and to the point.
Story
It's obvious that this drama's target is the EXO-L's/fans. Looking at it from that angle - the concept is not a bad one. Which fangirl would not want their idols next door? A dream come true! But at the same time it doesn't go much deeper than that. So I wouldn't expect too much out of this plot. They did add a bit of a history to make things a little more exciting and I have to admit - I did like the sweetness of it. Simple as the story is, with the episodes being so short, it was just fine and enjoyable enough.
Acting/Cast
The boys did well! I started watching this because I was curious about EXO and wanted to 'get to know them' a little better. I doubt that the characters I saw in the drama were reflections of their real selves entirely, but all the same it gave me a bit of a feel about them. I liked their acting well enough - especially Sehun! As ridiculous as his role was.
I have to admit I didn't much like D.O in here but I think that has more to do with personal taste than his acting. I've seen him act in 'I Remember You' and boy - that guy can act!
Overall - the boys did well.
The only thing I really didn't enjoy about the acting was the female lead. Too over the top and just not the acting-style I enjoy.
Music
I can't remember well what music was played but I'll assume it was EXO's work. And I love EXO's music, haha!
Rewatch value
5,5/10 because I personally won't ever want to watch this again. But I can imagine fangirls watching this over and over again. So I decided to go for mid-way. (And if I were forced to watch it again, I wouldn't hate it. I just wouldn't watch it again on my own terms.)
