i did not expect to enjoy this as much as i did

when i think of all the negatives about this show in terms of plot and storyline, it *should* be enough to bring my rating of it down but i think i just really liked how low-commitment it was. the plot is not as heavy as other shows because so many things happen, its like theres a new plot every 3 episodes.

the relationship between the main leads was kinda repetitive; it wasn't really progressing and i kept expecting something to happen but it was really just cheesy flirting and teasing (which i'm ok w, but i also wanted to see development) there are other things i want to say about them but i think the top review already touched base with everything else loll

my favourite part of this drama was the balance between emotion and lightheartedness. there is a great blend of comedy and drama that i haven't seen in any other drama so far. i think onew and song joongki delivered extremely well; their acting is unmatched.

ESPECIALLY onew during the earthquake arc. his scenes got me right in the heart. he acted out the raw and pain so well, a complete paradox to his usual bubbly and cheerful character. i also want to point out kim minseok's character, kim kibeom. he's one of my favourite characters and it was so fun to see a delinquent become an army man and be almost a younger brother to his superiors.

the main positive for me about this drama is the acting for me honestly. i think all the main actors did their job exceptionally well. episode 15 had me bawling my eyes out LOLZ!!! it did feel a bit long (16 episodes) but i enjoyed it and i didn't feel like i wasted my time yay!
