A fun/cute watch with ample cute romance and some suspense!!

I understand other people's comments about how the story wasn't that complex. They are not lying. Regardless, I loved this drama!!
I would NOT call this drama a fail, it did not aim to be a groundbreaking story line and I think it's simplicity is it's charm.

I think it truly depends on the moment in life that you're in. If I saw this two years ago I may not have liked it as much, and I may not love it as much when I watch it in the future. Still, the emotions and experiences that it transmitted is what I will cherish.

I got hooked from the beginning, laughed the whole way through and ugly cried with the last 2 episodes. The fact that it was not that complex was what made me want to sit down and watch it. Lots of giggles and laughs was what I was craving, and I definitely got them!

Yes, there is a love triangle, and somehow, I didn't really mind it. The leads kept me captivated and that was all I needed. I did find the sudden 'do I' 'don't I' halfway through a bit odd and unnecessary, and it did have me worrying for a bit, but they didn't drag it out. There was some over acting by the female lead but it wasn't so much that it bothered me. Her loose and enthusiastic personality felt like a breath of fresh air. I find it so rare to see a character that is who she is in public, and the whole series doesn't revolve around how 'different' she is and how it clashes with Korean society.

The main cast had great personalities and their separate plot lines really complemented the main one.

The music was fantastic! That, plus the choreo, made me want to jump into the screen and dance with them! I started listening to the OST later the same day I finished it and keep humming the melody. The songs are sooo catchy and good!

I'm sure that in a year or two I could totally rewatch this drama. I will probably skip through the 'suspensful' parts as I already know how it ends, but the adorable romance, the dancing and the great OST are worth it!

If you are up for a light, fun drama, with just a pinch of suspense, you should totally check this out!
