This drama really frustrated me. It had so much potential but sadly it didn't turn out all so well.

The Story:
The story itself is really interesting and had a lot of potential. Sadly it didn't turn out the way I hoped it would. The story was no existent throughout most of the drama. There was no big drama, not much story at all and no plot twists. The story the drama tried to convey was really light and nothing really interesting as also a lot of things didn't make sense and were unrelatable and characters sometimes acted in ways that didn't fit. Especially the first two episodes were really dragged out and for the most people properly pretty boring. However, I can say that the light romance it portrayed was easy to watch and somewhat enjoyable to me.

The characters:
A lot of the side characters were pretty useless in this drama and they were used mostly to fill the episodes. The other characters didn't have much depth and we don't get to know much about their history either and if we do then they spend really little time on it and then later in the drama act like nothing happened. However, some characters go through a decent amount of character development.
In my eyes, the characters were annoying from time to time as they acted irrational or didn't stand up for themselves but that is really subjective.

The acting:
The acting was ok if I look at the whole drama but especially in the beginning it was hard to watch. While some improved throughout the drama, others just really did a bad job in fitting into the role. Especially the chemistry between the actors was really bad, to say the least. Im Joo Hwan was the only one who really stood out with his performance and gave the drama somewhat of a story.

The music:
The music was hands down the best thing about this drama. It fitted the situations really great and underlined the emotions portrayed by the actors.

Conclusion:
Don't go into the drama expecting too much. This is a drama that has many flaws and if you expect it to be perfect or to have an intense story this is definitely not the right drama. If you want some light romance or a drama that is easy to watch with some pretty faces and great music then this might be right for you. I also recommend not reading the manga before watching the drama as many people were even more disappointed because the drama is actually really different from the manga. I certainly kinda enjoyed it while it lasted because it was just easy to watch, nothing serious. Would I rewatch it though? No.
