Honestly, I didn't expect the story to be so engaging and well-thought out! There was just the right amount of plot twists that moved the story forward. I loved how all the characters improved over the course of the drama. Acting could be improved but I think they did good considering that they were rookies (please correct me if I am wrong) at that time. The OST was really good, I always found myself humming the tunes. I wouldn't mind watching this again!


Personally, I think the whole message of the series is very relatable to everyone whether your dream is to be in the entertainment industry or somewhere else. This series shows us that there will always be big and small roadblocks before you reach your dreams. If you are passionate for your craft and continue to overcome the challenges that you face, you'll surely reach your dream. I think this is what some 20-somethings like me need to know. This drama shows us that we should not let our mistakes hold us back, we must keep moving forward and use those mistakes to improve ourselves along the way.

Now, this drama has a special place in my heart!

AIGOOOOOO!

This drama was such a roller coaster of emotions from start to finish! The cast was perfect and I could not imagine any other actors playing the characters. Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun had so much chemistry going on that I thought I was going to go nuts! The push-pull that Jung and Seol were just killing me! In Ha reminded me so much of Cheon Song Yi from MLFTS but crazier. In Ho was someone that I loved and hated at the same time. Bo Ra and Eun Taek were such cuties and I felt like they were really good for Seol.

I really like the fact that this is so realistic in terms of portraying college students! Being a university student myself, I couldn't help relating so much to the characters and their experiences in school.

I loved the OST of this drama. Every song fit the mood and helped the emotions come through to the audience.

My initial reaction to the finale was "meh". I didn't like it nor despise it. I guess because I have read a lot of reviews before watching this drama, I was prepared to be disappointed big time. It wasn't that bad, for me though.

So would I watch it again?

Y E S!

I loved this drama and I would recommend everyone to watch it themselves to find out! It may not be as disappointing as you think!

Despite its flaws in the storyline, I found myself loving this drama. The amnesia thing was very cliche but there were some points that made it unique.

The characterization of Louis was fine but it was annoying me sometimes because what he had was amnesia but he was acting like he went bonkers.

I LOVED THE OST EVEN THE INSTRUMENTALS AHHHH A+

I will definitely watch this again because it is such a feel good series. It made me feel warm and I loved every moment Bok Sil and Louis made.

BONUS POINTS FOR FRAMING AND COLOR GRADING!!! I am such a sucker for nice views and pastel colors.

This is the very first korean drama that I've watched and I must say that it set the expectation bar so high for others.

STORY:
I gave it a 9.5/10 because it was just A+ for me. The alien stuff weren't too overboard which I really liked since I am not really a fan of that genre. The progression of the story was perfect - it was neither slow or fast. It provided just enough tension to keep me wanting more!

ACTING/CAST:
I can't really comment on the acting as I've only watched Kim Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun just once but I must say that they are really good in internalizing their characters on screen. They were really good in playing their parts, especially Jun Ji-hyun! I really thought she added more flair to the show. Plus, their chemistry was off the roof! It's as if they're dating in real life (I wish though!).

MUSIC:
I have no problem with the music. The soundtrack that the producers have chosen are fit for the scenes. Did I mention that I still catch myself singing the theme music every now and then?!

REWATCH VALUE:
If you were to ask me if I'll watch this again, I would say yes! I know there are some heavy scenes here and there but this is really a feel good drama for me. I'll probably watch it when I'm feeling down or sad to lift my mood.

OVERALL:

I guess this is a best way to introduce myself to the world of k-dramas because it never disappointed me! I loved it overall and I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

Giving this a 9 because there were so many different genres in this show that I was slowly losing my mind but the cast was /perfect/.

***THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS AHEAD PLEASE BE WARNED***

I mean I could see how writer-nim wanted to connect Bong Soon to the mystery and crime angle in the story but I think it just took so much time and dragged the show a bit because of the seven brides thingy (I was so pissed at the police for always missing the suspect lol). The side characters were ok for me but then some of the screen times were unnecessarily long. Poop jokes were a bit too much but the interactions between Min Hyuk and Secretary Gong will always have a place in my heart!

The cast was just A+. PBY and PHS were just off the roof with their chemistry. PLEASE DATE IRL lol JEBAL MOM AND DAD PLS DATE IRL!!!! The last episode almost killed be because of its cuteness AND YES BECAUSE I AM A SUCKER FOR ROMCOMS. Secretary Gong was one of my favorites tbh! That character was such a living meme lol. Bong Soon's mother was definitely me whenever I see the BongMin couple!

Loved the OST too, I think PD-nim chose the right songs for the right moments. The SFX were great too, the cat/puppy noises, etc. It added flair and cuteness to the show.

I would watch this again though but maybe I'll skip the filler parts and just proceed to my favorite episodes/scenes.

It took me a lot of patience to finish this, given the fact that it's just 12 episodes long. There were episodes where the story was fast but there were also episodes that were just too dragging for me.

Cindy was actually my favorite character because I really felt her emotion cutting across the screen (good job, IU!). I don't know why but there were times where Baek Seung Chan just got on my nerves, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE JUST THERE WAITING FOR HIM TO SAY SOMETHING. I tried to like Seung Chan but /ugh/ he is just irritating for me.

Don't get me wrong, there were definitely scenes that I liked and would watch over and over again but as for the drama as a whole, once is enough.
