This had the most bizarre opening episode - highly unattractive male characters and "celeb"/rich kid background but the cute female saved it. Then you got curiously drawn in to see what happened next, so continued watching. Up to episode 5 - good, despite an uncertain start (I mean are rich/celeb kids really that openly awful) and some predictable plot, boy-girl etc I hoped it would not lose momentum over so many episodes, but was drawn in then, though. Some nice comic turns from Seo Ji's step-mother. EDIT. As at ep 8 this keeps taking unpredicted turns which takes it to a new level of excitement and interest, not just a bunch of kids flopping around in a martial arts school (yawn), though I'm beginning to find the M/F romance angle all very trying and detracts from the story. Too much intrusive music. ep. 11 more s/natural interest, too much martial arts for me. Like the lipstick, boys. This gets better. Just don't understand KangHae's review, but each to his taste. I am now on ep.14 and the soppy romance is really getting in the way of the action while doing nothing for the emotions (this person's anyway). I also continue to find the music intrusive - that's not to say it's not good or appropriate, just why must there be overwrought singing to virtually every scene, literally drowning out what the characters are saying and what's going on ? But Lee Hyun Woo saves it for me, he's a good actor. Ep. 15 things hotting up again, looks like a good ending in prospect. I'll be glad to say "Goodbye" to that song, though, it's like a headache. Ep.16 - good finish, it was certainly a "cliffhanger" :) - everything neatly wrapped up (too neatly for my taste). Predictable in outline if not in all the details. I'm still not sure what's supposed to have happened in that moment of high drama. It was a real pity the bromance angle receded so much during most of the series. And why the h*** did Yoon Shi Woo change from blonde to dark half way through?? Certainly did him no favors. I did not find the ending, where the writers seem to have wanted everyone to literally have everything, convincing. It seems the writers opted for safety and their conventional audience. Then we have the strong bromantic love suddenly hitting us in the very last scene! which suggests to me this was supposed to matter even more than their blissful wedded partners. Hope it did. But the whole thing was very confusing. So it was good enough to stay the course - which for me is an achievement over 16 episodes - but for me sagged a bit in places, so had to have faith. Should have been shorter in my humble opinion. For me the lack of bromance after the earlier episodes did not help. They just managed to come up with some plot twists and action often enough to keep the flame burning. I'd say 10 in places, 6.5 in others but 8.5 overall. I'm not marking down the overall due to lousy music and indifferent re-watch value, though. It's the story and acting that count. Did not quite live up to my initial expectations or the excitement and bromance built up in some episodes . Very unlikely to re-watch.
