This is a really cute and entertaining drama which was a breath of fresh air for me after watching a bunch of dark dramatic dramas. Piano is one of my passions, so when I heard that this drama would be about a pianist, I was very excited. The two main leads had a good balance of development and personality with Ra Ra being a cheerful, joyful, weird but lovable girl that lost everything and had her world fall apart and Jun being a guy that appears cold but has a very warm heart and is a hopeless romantic that harbors the secret that he is a runaway high school student that is rebelling from his parents. I was worried in the beginning that Jun would just be Ra Ra's superhero and his only purpose would to be there for Ra Ra and nothing more, but he got his own individual spotlight, personality, and backstory. I really enjoyed the actors and they really had a lot of chemistry together. I had just watched Lee Jae Wook in Extraordinary You and I hated his character (not the actor) quite a lot as he managed to make him very unlikeable, so I wasn't sure if he would have a likeable character, but omg I was wrong. I loved his character and his smile just made my heart melt. His character is SO ROMANTIC and sweet even though he tries to appear like he hates everything. When it was revealed how they really first met, how he liked her from their first encounter, and how he was do do sol sol la la sol, everything made sense as to why he was helping her so much. I kind of wish that his reason to run away was more sympathetic or sad rather than his friend died and his parents are being insensitive about it. Maybe I'm just a terrible person, but that doesn't seem like a powerful reason to rebel. Go Ara was also a very great actress and pulled off her character very well. I was almost dying of secondhand embarrassment from the way she was shamelessly seeking Jun's help in the first few episodes, but Jun seemed happy with it and she is a very lovable character that it quickly went away. The supporting actors were also really great and I loved the little squad that grew very close within the drama.
I love everything except for the ending. WHAT KIND OF JERK ACTS DEAD FOR FIVE YEARS AND THEN SUDDENLY COMES BACK TO THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE LIKE "SURPRISE! I DIDN'T ACTUALLY DIE!"????!!!!?!?!?! I love Jun so much but OMG if the writers didn't want him to die then they shouldn't have staged his death in the first place. Leave the resurrections of the dead to the dramatic dramas like Penthouse, and leave the cute and lighthearted ones alone please. If you're dead then you're dead. The "oh I'm actually terminally ill so I'm going to cruelly break up with you so you don't suffer with me" plot line was not the best, very reused, and really just a filler for the rest of the episodes, but it was acceptable. However the last 3 minutes really made me mad and it was really predictable. I wasn't sad when they all though he died bc I knew that he wasn't actually dead. It's a lot like the endings of Abyss and Hotel Del Luna where the main characters, Cha Min and Man Wol both die or fade away and then magically come back for unexplainable reasons just so they can have the Happily Ever After. They couldn't have come up with anything better? Ra Ra can live by herself or marry Cha Eun Seok or start a family or smth. Please make the ending make sense even if that means sacrificing the happily ever after. This is exactly why I think that the last episode of most dramas is quite boring or much worse than the rest of the drama since it's usually just fluff or happily ever afters or cliche unwanted plot twists to help the drama meet the 16 episode mark.
So to sum it up: I love the actors, characters, chemistry between the leads, story and plot line up until the last few episodes where everything falls apart.
