Let me start this review with a few of my favourite quotes from the drama that has left an impression on me
"Everytime I cried, I run again with a smile
I keep searching while losing ~milk coffee 'Hello Tomorrow '"
"I wish to fly up to the sky,stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun
The world is waiting for me to change~ Rodger yang 'I believe'"
"My dear,no matter what moment you are in, when you look back it has come to pass,
So be brave and take a leap forward."
"Perhaps, what fascinates you is not youth itself,but everything that has appeared in a short time and the glittering memory that will remain in our hearts forever."

This show has so many life lessons to offer, it shows struggles faced by the youth,perfectly. The first maybe 16 or 17 episodes this show really really had the potential to be a whole 10.

It shows the life of these 5 friends all the way from 10th grade to 28 year olds. The story of thier friendship is so touching, I loved all the characters and especially that there are no antagonists in this show, no bad characters at all,they all have depth and are well written, the dialogues for the most are extremely well written, the story upto a certain part was also really really good. The female lead is a linguistics student which gave the writer an opportunity to include so many deep thoughts and quotes of different people. The lyrics the female lead writes and everything she reads out and thinks about are deep and extremely beautiful which makes the story so nostalgic, you'll start to miss your school days or College days and definitely will bring a smile to your face!
A few episodes towards the end started to get a little annoying, still you could say it had a realness towards it.The last few episodes was a bit too much though,there were many cliches and I was a little frustrated! I still enjoyed the show very much. It deserves more views! Definitely a story many will enjoy.

Acting was lacking in some places, I couldn't feel many emotions and didn't even cry (I tend to cry alot haha)! All actors were mediocre nothing stood out to make me connect super well.

The music that was played in the show was really good,i mean the ones that the leads perform or the female lead wrote had extremely beautiful meaning and catchy tune to it! The osts were really good too!
The bgm of the piano which was put in all scenes was so annoying I wanted to mute it, like no matter what the emotions, they used the piano or wierd orchestra sounds...it was bad.

If you're looking for a light show with a burst of nostalgia this show is definitely for you!
