Awesome drama. It’s so different than the typical Korean drama, but I’m finding it hard to explain how it’s different. One has to be an avid Kdrama watcher and has to watch this to find out what I’m talking about. The story’s not really original since it used the favorite cliché of all time: first love. But it worked. First love always works for me, so it wasn’t really a big deal. I liked how almost, if not all relevant characters had their own moments all throughout the drama. I loved that the drama did not focus on one story. I loved that it had various major stories which made it more interesting. Other Kdramas usually have one major story and a few side stories. Also, the going back and forth through time was effective. It added up to the drama’s spark and made it kind of mysterious though it’s apparent who’ll end up with whom. The cast was impressive. The acting was really good and believable although some rookies still show minor signs of being new to acting. The music was daebak. I suddenly started searching Korean songs from the 90s, ballads especially. The music’s kind of addictive. The drama’s full of funny and lighthearted moments so I don’t think it’ll hurt to rewatch it over and over again, but not too much. After watching this drama, I finally understood what the hype was all about. I finally understood how on earth this drama was able to win the hearts of many Kdrama viewers. However it didn’t really win my heart since this drama’s not my style. I prefer sappy dramas, which leads me back to the typical Kdrama zone. I guess that’ll always be where I belong. But this drama’s really good and I enjoyed it so much; it’s just not my style. It may not have won my heart, but it did win much of my admiration.
