I really enjoyed this drama. I did go into this blind, like I had no idea it was a manga and there was a Japanese version. I found it on Netflix and decided to watch and thought it was good to pass the time. Nothing too dramatic, just fluffy drama. I really enjoyed it and, I mean the acting wasn't the worst but it also wasn't the best. I took it all with a grain of salt and just enjoyed the drama for what it was: beautiful music, romantic story, friendship and hard work! I say go in without any bias if possible so that it can be enjoyed and watched for what it is. I'm glad there wasn't any like major love triangles and no major villains. I do wish some parts were explained more thoroughly cuz it felt like things just happened but I enjoyed it overall.

I don't know if it's because I read the synopsis and didn't really read the reviews (except just to clarify it did have a happy ending), I went into watching this with zero expectations. Boy was I completely surprised! Normally I strongly dislike flashback scenes, this drama was basically 2 dramas in one with the past and the present kind of being told simultaneously, but for some reason it didn't matter to me. Sometimes you just connect with a drama right off the bat and can't explain exactly why, that's exactly what happened watching this drama. From the first episode and all the sadness and brokenness that the characters portrayed I was hooked. The acting was great from both sets of leads (past and present, yes they did have different actors play the younger versions, so a bit confusing) and the story was fabulous, kinda makes me wanna read the book since I heard the book is even better. I really unexpected loved this drama, yes its a little emotionally heavy but it has its moments of comedy and happiness. I'm even thinking of re-watching the condensed 4 episodes, def recommend!

Usually I enjoy the acting so much more than the storylines for most dramas I watch. Thus was the first time where the situation was completely opposite. I loved this story so much! It was the first time I had seen a storyline revolving around gamers especially involving female gamers. I most definitely enjoyed no love triangles lol. The main couple trusted each other and were confident in their relationship. I liked that the female character was strong, intelligent and confident. Unfortunately I can't say much for the acting. The acting was super stiff and like robots at times, it was extremely frustrating to watch. The story line was what kept me going even though it was super slow and I felt like they could've told the s story in half of the amount of episodes. If you enjoy stable relationships and a fresh story but at the same time are very patient and are ok with slow plotlines I would def recommend.

I started watching this drama since it was a recommendation from another gender bender. I ended up liking this one alot more than I thought I would. I think the chemistry between the 2 leads was hot!! Lol I think if there chemistry wasn't as good I probably wouldn't have kept watching it. There were parts of the storyline that I thought kinded dragged on or I didn't really see the point of why they included those scenes. Also the 2nd lead couple were kinda boring lol I'm sorry to say I did fast forward most of the parts they were on the screen, sorry! Some of the acting was over the top but I am kinda getting used to that with any asian dramas I watch. Woulld def recommend but do go into it with low expectations and I think you would enjoy it more. Would def think of rewatching if just for the fact (possible spoiler ahead but I need to explain why I would rewatch) that I want to see the scenes where they were together after he had already found out "the secret"

I'm still trying to emotionally recover and for that reason alone i refrained from giving this a rating of 10 lol it has its flaws and it took a couple of episodes in for me to actually start warming up to the psychiatrist, because he was just the worst ever! But wow the emotional toll watching this took on me! Episode 15 by far was the most emotionally devastating acting I have seen in a while. The devastation of what they were going through was so amazing depicted! The acting so just stupendous! Loved this drama so much!!

**UPDATE: After a few days I've decided to bump it to a 10 just because this was just an amazing experience to sit through. The mental issues they address are so important and give light to what some people face on a daily basis**

This was my frist time watching a Chinese drama. I didn't think I would be able to differentiate the dialect since I don't speak any type of Asian language. I was very surprised how different the language sounded compared to Korean or Japanese language. It took me a little bit to get used to, and also they speak faster so I had to get used to reading the subtitles at a faster pace.

The drama was pretty interesting. It was a little slow on some parts but overall a good storyline. It was nice to see their relationship progress and see how steady and how much faith they had in each other.

First of all I am so glad I hadn't watched She was pretty, if I had I wouldn't have been able to finish this drama. I know a lot of people complained about the main female lead and that she was too dumb and stuff, but I thoroughly enjoyed her character. I thought she was quirky and was open to everyone and would be courteous enough to others to listen to whatever they had to say. Did I think maybe she was too lenient on her "best friend" and what she did to her? Yes yes I do believe that, but really by the time everything was uncovered my anger towards her best friend had already dissipated. Overall this drama sometimes feel like its moving at a crawling pace, and definitely could've been shortened by half. The rating is so low because, to me, it didn't really emotionally pull me into the characters and the story although I did really enjoy the female lead, but I wasn't captivated by this drama. God was the only one who gave me the strength to finish this lol so would only recommend if you enjoy dramas that move especially slow, but the story line was still interesting.

This drama was actually on my to watch list for the longest time. Actually this was recommended to me by a mdl friend and I decided to go ahead and watch it since I had at one point planned on watching it to begin with. I am so glad she gave me the recommendation, if she hadn't I probably would not have started this drama. It was short to-the-point super enjoyable, funny, cute and the main leads were awesome. I definitely recommend this drama if you're looking for something short cuz you will speed through this. This is definitely a good drama if you're waiting for something else to come out or if you really don't know what to watch I definitely recommend this. Super enjoyable I loved it the main guy so attractive lol great drama! And I mean it did have kind of like a love triangle but not really nothing really crazy happens in it but it's really really good to watch.
