Story: 7.5
The story has an interesting concept.  Dolls that come to life in order to protect their master from harm, it's cute.  The seriousness of losing a mother was very well portrayed by the actresses, to but to honest, they should have kept with just one or two things wrong, instead of giving her something she would one day be unable to walk.  It had all the workings of melodrama, done in a comedy format.  Though the story is interesting, it fails on delivery for me, with too much happening in such a short period.  
The second story of Lee Jenny , seemed to be odd one to tell.  I know de-villainizing your villain is common now a days but with the doll story plot already in full swing, this being a web drama, it seemed a little bit too much and muddled.  
One last note, thing that bugged me the most, and I didn’t know where to put it, was the extreme close ups, that didn’t make sense.  The scenes would have a greater impact if they were from far away instead of where their faces take up the entire screen.  (Personal thought)

Acting/Casting: 4.5
The purpose of this drama was to showcase GOT7.  It did just that.  Did it showcase amazing acting talents?  For me, the only one who is worthy of being called an actress in this is the lead actress herself.  The male leads were often cringe worthy when it came to the emotional pieces, and were only enjoyable for me when they were in their happy go lucky characters.  When it came to anything serious, it was difficult to watch.  Even though isn’t supposed to be a serious thing and is completely just fan service, I’m still treating like a drama because that’s what it is supposed to be.  

Music: 6.0
If you are a fan of GOT7 music, you would enjoy this.  Of course this is a show starring GOT7 so I wouldn’t hope it would be.  So this my own personal opinion trying to be unbiased.  With the story that they wanted to tell, the music didn’t always quite fit, no matter how hard they tried.  During the funny dance battle scenes it made sense, but during other times it didn’t, for example when Jr. is remembering his former ‘master’ it didn’t quite fit with the mood and made his acting in that moment seem very forced and fake.  So the music was a hit or miss depending on the occasion and the way it was used.

Rewatch Value: 3.0
I find this drama slightly cringe worthy to be honest.  Though it’s my second time viewing, I did enjoy it more the first time around, because it was interesting and different.  The Rewatch value for me has dropped from what it used to be.  But of course if You are fan of GOT7, I feel like you would enjoy this a lot.  This is also just my own personal view.  The episodes are only 15 minutes long and last for 12 episodes, so it's possible to watch this in a couple of hours.
