A drama about ordinary people, for ordinary people
This is a drama that I believe resonates with a lot of people. Not everyone wants to become rich, powerful and famous, most of us just want to succeed at our dreams or even just find them. This is exactly what this drama is about, and it's where its strengths and one sole weakness lie.
As someone who's lived through something similar to what Dongman went through, his story especially resonated with me. I feel like there's something to resonate with you in at least one character. It's a simple plot, but it works for the drama. There's no added cliches to embellish the drama, except one. The birth secret trope is something I believe this drama could have very well done without, and it's the only reason I rated the drama so low. I feel like if you're trying to write a drama about normal people, you wouldn't include such an unusual thing. I mean how many people do you know that have had something similar happen to them?
The cast was amazing, you could really feel the camaradie between the Fantastic Four and the awkward blossoming love between Dongman and Ae Ra. The scene that shocked me the most was when Dongman lost his hearing, you could truly feel the panic coursing in his veins at that moment. The casting was also great, I feel like the actors fit their roles very much.
The OST was not something to write home for, it was neither beautiful nor memorable, but it served its purpose as background music and it had me jamming along at times. I feel like the mixing could've been done more professionally at certain times too, especially when Dongman got hit in the head and the cutesy girly song was still playing in the background.
I will definitely rewatch this drama whenever I feel discouraged in achieving my dreams. It's the type of feel good drama that will definitely cheer you up if you're feeling discouraged. I really recommend watching this drama if you're feeling low.
In all, it's a sweet drama that definitely serves its purpose. It's not the deepest plotwise, it doesn't have masterful cinematography, it's not a once in a lifetime drama but it relays a message everyone needs to hear from time to time. Never give up on your dreams :)
