This kdrama is genius.
This kdrama is genius. I watched it when i was 17 and rewatched it now when I am 24 and enjoyed it just as much, if not even more. It gave such a nostalgic feeling, though despite being almost 15 years old, this kdrama feels fresh and timeless. I will explain why i think it's genius:
1. First of all, it's the Y\N dream come true. Everyone who was going crazy about some band in 2000s/2010s or maybe even now will enjoy this a lot. As a huge One Direction fan who lived the crazy fangirl life for years, including reading some Y\N fantasies, shipping band members and reading dramatic fanfictions, i think this kdrama pictured the feeling of those days perfectly.
It also includes boys with 3 different personality types/images that are generally liked by many:
Shin Woo is the handsome, romantic guy, perfect gentleman, prince charming, the knight in shining armor who would do anything for his love and keep fighting until the end.
Jeremy is the kind, funny and cheerful type of charismatic guy - a sweetheart.
And finally - Tae Kyung with the mysterious/dark personality, sarcastic and sassy at times. He has kind of a villain/anti-hero vibes. (My personal favorite)
They all fall in love with Mi-nyeo (Y\N dream, i repeat) and therefore there are 3 different types of love stories (altough only one worked out):
The typial romantic story with Shin Woo.
The best friends to lovers/ adventerous/ happy stroy with Jeremy.
The enemies to lovers story with Tae Kyung (again my favorite!! At it was perfectly represented here, with many ups and downs.)
2. Secondly, the drama is soooooooooo funny. It's acctually hilarious! The plot is atually pretty heavy at times, but every episode makes you feel good, beause they have perfectly balanced it with humor!!!
3. The actors did a great job, even the side chrachters were amazing!!The Manager Ma was such a funny character for example.
4. THE MUSIC is PERFECT!!!! Even the lyrics have so much meaning. Apart from the official soundtracks, hearing some hits from 2000s occasionally (like Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga etc) gives such a nostalgic feeling.
There were some things i didn't enjoy that much. For example the story with Shin Woo was dragged on for so long, i wish he didnt have to go through so much heartbreak. (But then those things also happen in real life)
Also, the last 1-2 episodes were a bit messy and repetitive, with Mi-nyeo leaving then coming back then leaving again and coming back again, same with Tae Kyung . Though the main target audience of the drama are teenagers (don't get me wrong i enjoyed it a lot at 24 as well and i think adults can also like it), so those things should not be taken too seriosly. It was overall a perfect drama and is timeless!!!
