Let me as an intro say that I did enjoy watching this short drama. But I do have some complicated feelings about it. Even though I did like it (like many people would), I also noticed a LOT of things that had the ability to be improved.

SHORT VERSION
Good story, I like that the guy is dressed as up as a girl, for once.
Acting/Cast is okay, but the girl is too young for the part I think. But I also think she was the best actor. She was the one who was best at expressing emotions while acting. And the guy who was supposed to look like a girl, indeed looked like a girlish-faced guy (with a masculine body) with a wig.
The music is kpop!:D
I enjoyed watching this a lot, but the feeling afterwards was and is a lot different. Looking back, it lacked a lot. This drama had a lot of potential, so hopefully, someone will be inspired to make something similar (and longer)

STORY
Even though cross dressing isn't original (the reason it didn't get 10 points), I have a weakness when it comes to it. And if you like cross dressing dramas, this is a must watch because we always see the girl as a boy, not opposite like in this. In this short drama, I don't find anything out of the place.


ACTING/CAST
I don't complain about the acting (I never notice bad acting while watching dramas/movies, only "over acting" - sometimes it is acceptable, sometimes it's not. The "over acting" in 'Ma Boy' by Tae Joon, fit his character, so I'm okay with it.), but I still feel that some of the cast could be changed. Even though I did like the acting of the character Jang Geu Rin (Kim So Hyun), I think she was too young for the character. 12 years old? Is that why we don't see too intimate moments? x) I missed that...

When Sun Woong (who is goodlooking *-*) acted as Irene, he lacked a lot of... femininity. He could have practiced a lot more "girly walking", for instance. (Like when Yoon Eun Hye practiced male traits, like walking, before acting in Coffee Prince.)

Last mention about the acting (it could also be the script writer). I really missed some feelings. I felt like this drama was just... a story, barely any emotions but into it. The main actress (who I complained about being a 12 year old) was the one I felt nailed it the most, actually.

MUSIC
About the music? You like kpop, right? I know I do! I have to include this somewhere: The scene when Jang Geu Rim performed Twinkle by TaTiSeo... That was... bad. She just stood there doing nothing.

REWATCH VALUE
I barely feel like rewatching dramas, because it takes a lot of time, and there are plenty of other dramas to watch. But since this is so short, it isn't impossible for me to watch it again. But I probably won't. Why? As already mentioned, this drama lacked emotions. Yeah, there was some, but I wished it was much more.

OVERALL
It felt like a mix between a drama and a movie. I really dislike Korean movies (not all of them, but most of the ones I've seen), because they seem to rush everything hastily, with no emotions (they obviously don't have time for that "nonsense"). I felt some tingling in my chest at some parts, but not that much. But it do have some very fun parts. I did like Tae Joon's character, and the two trios who root for Tae Joon and Irene.

If you're looking for a lighthearted and short drama, watch this. If you're looking for some huge "kyaaaah" and sweet moments, look somewhere else.

But it was, in fact, a cute drama.

Still giving it a 6, though. Lol. But it was close to 7, but while writing this, I somehow changed my mind. But while watching it, I would probably give it a 8, because, like already mentioned, I enjoyed WATCHING this drama. But afterwards, I don't feel anything (those dramas and movies that makes you think about them for days because it was good, those are more than good - they're great. I know dramas that I felt was okay while watching, but like masterpieces when they're done).

I hope that someone will make something similar to this, but as a drama. That is something I would watch.
