Story: Loved the story. Immensely. Being a fan of a lot of Korean things myself, it was really nice to see a drama about something I could relate to for once.
Acting/Cast: Personally, I feel they really struck gold with this cast. Eun Ji was exceptional in her role as an H.O.T fan. When they were mentioned, she was ecstatic; when they were insulted, she was ready to defend them. Even if I wasn't already like her in that respect, I'd have no trouble believing her acting.
The chemistry between everybody was fantastic. Eun Ji and In Guk played the role of friends from birth really well.
Music: Throughout the show, you hear music from virtually every year between 1997 and 2012, and it's fantastic.
Rewatch Value: I'm not a big fan of rewatching dramas, but I could easily see myself watching this again in the future.
Overall: When it comes to watching dramas, it usually takes a lot to impress me. The fact that I gave this a 10 all-around really speaks volumes.
I loved this drama. The first half was a lot of comedy with some drama thrown in; the second half was a lot of drama (well acted drama [seriously, there were a few times I just had to cry along with the characters]) with some comedy thrown in; the whole show was a perfect mix of both.
