This is a cute, fun, sweet romcom about a contract marriage gone awry when mom moves in. The story is hilarious at times and heartfelt at others. There are laughs and tears and some social commentary that is done well and doesn't wind up feeling like an afterschool special. I got exactly what I expected and quite a bit more. Very well done. Often when the 4 leads were arguing about which path to follow, it was impossible to side with one over another because all viewpoints were valid. A great story about love and family and where those fit in society.

Cute, fun little fluff

Cute little story that looks at the ways in which our past experiences affect our current choices in life. Romance and friendship and silliness. The actors do a good job. Some of the stories wrap up too easily and there's very little vindication for the wronged parties. The cheaters were painted in too kind of a light and got off too easily, but over all it was a fun easy watch. I would recommend it for anybody looking for a simple, short watch. About the length of a movie, you can knock the whole thing out in one sitting.

Stellar story-telling with excellent characters and an interesting plot. There were no filler episodes and nothing wasted my time. It had a thoroughly satisfying ending. Beautifully done. I will definitely rewatch this one to see if the clues were there that could have solved the mystery for me, but as it was, I didn't know until the show revealed it, which is great because I usually solve the mystery halfway through which really annoys me. Don't be fooled though, while the mystery was interesting, it really isn't the point here. This is a drama about characters and life choices and relationships. Definitely worth watching

Roller coaster of emotions and adrenaline

I literally laughed and cried. This movie is so freaking good. I wish I could watch it in the theatre. A couple of the English actors maybe could have been better, but none of them were roll your eyes bad. I'm exhausted from the wild ride. Highly recommend. If you are a fan of Firefly and more accurately it's finale film Serenity, this is a movie for you. Similar vibe and somewhat similar concept, but telling its own story in a unique way.
I don't know what else to say but apparently haven't hit 500 characters yet

This is the best of the U-Prince series, in my opinion. It has the most complete story and both leads are likeable, which is not the case with several installments. Ultimately though, it is the actor and actress who really sell this story. It was lovely to watch. Hippy should be crowned King.

This movie starts out funny but then quickly gets very confusing and much less funny. The first half is basically a boring mess with ghosts haunting a home/boarding school/motel (it's not really clear just from watching). The second half becomes more coherent and interesting. The actors do a pretty good job with what they have, but the story could have used more set up in the beginning. In the end, everything is clear, and obviously the confusion is partly intentional in order to have the big reveal at the end, but I think it could have been much more clearly set up.

I enjoyed the show well enough, but I think it's because I had already read the book which was excellent. The show simplified the characters too much and focused too much on Third's character, telling even Kai's big story moments more from Third's eyes. Also, the side story with Too's character felt forced and kind of resolved in a way that came out of nowhere. Did I still enjoy it? Yes. Would I recommend the book more? Also yes.

It is pretty typical GMMTV BL fare. If you love OffGun you will probably enjoy it very well.

This story is sweet and funny and definitely could have been longer. Jisoo does well with his role as an injured athlete who gives up his dream of the Olympics to learn piano. Soo Hyun isn't great at playing a blind girl, but she isn't the worst I've seen either. The triangle of three kids learning to find themselves and discover their dreams and plan their futures in the face of frustration is believable and enjoyable. Would have enjoyed a few more episodes to grow the romance between the the boys.

Should be 10s across the board but my phone is dumb. When my heart can take it, I will definitely be watching again. This drama is beautiful from start to finish. Beautiful story. Beautiful acting. Beautiful music. Beautiful ending. Could not have wished for anything more.
Thank you to everyone involved in this production. I'm sorry that more people didn't watch this amazing piece of art.

The telling of this story isn't great. It's a bit messy and confusing at times, but the storyline is great and very sweet and cute. The female lead isn't exactly likeable, but that's kind of the point, so just enjoy it and go where the story takes you
There are both funny and sad moments that come from the girl forgetting that she is a boy now and not supposed to be the person she thinks she is.
I was very satisfied with the ending, but wish they had filmed it to be a little more immediately clear what was happening.
