I really, really enjoyed this show, and wish it had been a full length drama instead of only 8 episodes. I think they really could have fleshed this story out wonderfully in 16 episodes. The shortened storyline caused some questions to be unanswered, but not annoyingly so. As has been mentioned already, it definitely had a Reply series feel to it. The nostalgia of friendships and first loves and that all-important timing. The romances are very innocent.

I enjoyed all the characters, and maybe only wish that Jung Her wasn't quite so prickly with Hye Joo (in the beginning) and Dong Moon. The weakest of the main characters, for me, was the actor playing Son Jin. He was a little flat for me, but otherwise, the cast was spot on.

The music was exceptional. There were several songs that were popular in the U.S. during that time period as well as some lovely Korean songs. The music really did a lot to add to the feel of the show.

I would rewatch this again without hesitation.
