Unique, inspiring drama with LOTS of eye candy

Just finished Wanna Be / Hello Model.

This has been a unique, nice steady drama with very BEAUTIFUL tall people. FL -> gorgeous. ML -> so tall! SML -> tall and gorgeous! The chemistry between the main leads was amazing, they know how to passionately kiss but also tenderly care for one another. The audience really ends up rooting for them and sharing in the joys / pains /struggles throughout the drama.

What's great is that this is NOT a drama with LOTS of drama! haha... Of course it has drama, but is measured and feels more realistic we see what the characters experience, how they are affected, how they cope, how they encourage and support each other. There's the building and development of various friendships, old and new. There's no one nasty person who stays evil the whole time. Everyone is human with flaws and we learn to see whole of them - even characters who start off as unpleasant. By the end, they're not so bad, just human.

Main couple - their relationship grows and they really do support each other but in alignment with their personalities so it's not the way we would expect like in other dramas. Love how the male lead's character is not typical - very refreshing. The female lead is kinda badass. Both are bold and cool.

Costuming - some were great, some not so. But overall, very fashion. I am wondering whether some of the casts are actually models as well.

Overall, this is been a story of overcoming obstacles, self discovery and strength as well as working out relationships - plutonic, familial, romantic. I guess it is a healing drama and yes with a Happy Ending / Beginning...

And it ended beautifully with a beautiful song -

Like a bird flying over a deserted wasteland
dreamed of too many what if's, what if you loved me too

Like a star falling, igniting the spark within
don't let us drift apart, like clouds meeting the sky

Oh, dream can we get a little closer
when the passion resurfaces

Let me be your shining point, finally standing before you
Daydreams come true, holding you in my heart
