Okay for those people going to blabber about the similarities between meteor garden and this drama I have to say. Stop it! Just watch it! It’s more like a parody than a copy of the typical F4 situation. The first couple episodes are like an nearly exact same. However take a deep breath and by some episodes later you’ll notice that actually this is a pretty damn good drama. The plot leads to different paths from story we are use to. It is more modern than you might think, pretty cute too. While watching this drama, there were of course parts that I wanted to skip really quickly. But those moment are overtaken by the actually great parts to it. In this drama they brought in many current day aspects to it too. Such as the immense amount of phone usages and that the female lead doesn’t have to be a frugal girl who is ugly. The male lead at first looks a typical dude who is not that good looking and just exist. But over time while watching him, especially when he puts his hair down (hair down I mean - Kpop Star bowl cut down) he’s so GORGEOUS!! The main female lead also looks like a a random actor the director just picked off the streets. But do not judge the book by its cover, she is actually really cute and enthusiastic. You know those cringey weird female leads where you want to rip off the screen. Congratulations she isn’t one of them. Just sometimes a little tiny bit annoying but that can be avoided. I’ve watched so many dramas who have such similar beginning story line and I have to say this is a pretty good-lighthearted one. Of course there were few tears but isn’t any of that melodrama where every episode = crying. So I have to say, forget all you past F4 dramas experiences and Give this a chance. Really recommend! :D
