Why did it have to be this short?

I have always loved vampire stories, like I'm obssesed with them, and when I saw there was a BL with this topic I just needed to watch it, but it wasn't a good idea.
At first I was shocked when I started watching the first episode, because it was only 10 minutes long, and I thought that maybe it was like a kind of introduction, but no, all the episodes are that long, except the last one, that is 20 minutes long.

Story
The theme was okay, I mean, a typical vampire story that needs a specific human's blood to, in this drama's case, become a human. This is a fantasy story, and in my opinion for it to be explained correctly it NEEDS to be longer. Everything happened really fast and it felt like I was watching a summary of the actual drama. The solution to the problem (or the no solution), which I'm not going to say because is spoiler, is ridiculous, I mean, they wanted a specific ending and that's why they did it like that, but it doesn't make any sense.
I also want to add that it is a vampire story but it didn't actually feel like one, because as something normal in a fantasy story, there are a lot of mysteries and so on,

Acting
Nope I didn't like it, it seemed so forced sometimes and I couldn't feel any type of connection between the two main characters, so meh.

Music
Again, as the drama is really short I couldn't listen to much of the music, but from what I heard it was really good. This maybe is the thing I liked the most about the drama.

So overall I didn't like it and I'm not going to watch it again. I watched it in one go so it didn't hurt that much the fact of having lost my precious and not much time.

I expected it to be different

I started watching it because I liked the concept of a school of cops. However, the drama is more like a typical police mistery series, with a different beginning because of the school.

The romance is really cute and sweet, but I think that once they're together (I'm not gonna say who so that I don't give any spoilers) it's like they forget about it and it doesn't have importance anymore.

The acting was so good, I liked how the actors managed to portray their feelings. The music was really good too, specially "Because of You". The characters were so cute and I liked all who formed the friend group of the kdrama.

Overall, even if it ended up being the same topic of every police mystery series, it was cool and well managed so I enjoyed it, but I expected it to be a little different of the usually used cliché. I don't wanna mention it because I consider it as a spoiler.

A really beautiful message

This drama speaks about youth and trying to treasure the memory of it. It overall tries to send the message of living it at the fullest, because is something that won't last forever.

The story was really interesting and the evolution of the characters and the relationships between them were nice to watch. The characters are fun and fascinating, I loved them a lot. I also have to add that the supporting characters were amazing too, they weren't there because they had to do something with the main characters, but because they had their own stories too, which is something that in a lot of cases doesn't happen, so it was nice knowing about their personalities and ambitions. They also showed some short scenes that made us see how they were advancing in life, short enough to not get tired of it and long enough to receive all the information they wanted to give us.

There are a lot of little romantic details, such as a hug, touching one's head with the other one's and so on. It was so cute. Can I mention the other couple? I'm not gonna say which it is but I love them.

As I said they try to teach us a lot of things regarding to life and youth, and they have really inspiring and strong quotes such as this: "They tried to break us without knowing how to fold".

The OST's were really good, specially the "Starlight" and "Your Existence".

Lastly, the ending... was really realistic, but I didn't like it. I mean that it was meant to happen like that and that it made sense, but even though I know that, I would have prefered it to finish in another way. However, it was okay.

I wouldn't say this is a romance story

So I decided to watch this because I'm a kpop fan and I was willing to watch it since they released the last episode. Now I expected more of it, but it's not like I hated so here goes my opinion divided in parts.

Story
It starts really well and it's so interesting, but as we advance in episodes, it starts getting a little bit boring. However, I was quite satisfied with the ending, even if it didn't get the romantic one I expected. I like how the members of the group are really different from each other. However, they didn't say anything, and when I say anything is anything, about Woo Yeon, and he's one of my favorite characters. Gotta say I loved Yoo Chan, such a lively character with a deep story.
If you are looking for a romantic drama, this isn't it, even if it looks like it. I think it needs to be said, because I missed more romantic scenes and to be deeper in that sense, but it's more centered in the stories of the members (apart from Woo Yeon, because again, and I'm really angry, he doesn't have one) and the relation between them.

Acting / Cast
They did act ok, but in some times I felt like it was a little bit exaggerated. The cast was brilliant, I loved all of them and how they represented their characters.

Music
Please help me stop listening to Beautiful Breakup because I think I have a problem. I have been watching this kdrama for more or less two weeks and I can't stop listening to it, when it appears in one of the first episodes, or in the first one, I can't remember exactly. Anyhow, the music is amazingly good, all of the songs, ALL OF THEM are on my playlist already.

So overall it was enjoyable, but as there was almost no romance it was meh. I mean, if the drama didn't have any romance to start with, it would have been a lot better, because the evolution and relationship between the members made it really good, and the ending was so good too.
Note: I love the CEO, everyone needs a CEO like him in their lives

What's the best of this drama?

I enjoyed this drama a lot, but I had some issues with it. I first wanna clarify that this is a subjective review.
The thing I liked the most was the relationship between Yeo Joon and Soo Hyun is amazing and really beautiful. I recommend this drama mainly because of it.
I also gotta say that So Bin is lovely and I loved her, but I don't feel like her character added much to the story or she had that much of importance. However, the romance part was so delightful.
Another thing that I'm really thankful off, is that there is no triangle love, so I could breathe calmly this time.
The story is actually quite simple, in the sense that is something really common.
The music was AMAZING gotta say. I always moved my head with the music everytime the songs played, because they are such beautiful songs! I love how cute and lively they are.
The last thing I liked about it was the acting of Park Ji Hoon. Gosh, all the emotions he had to show and how well he portrayed them. I just am amazed of how amazingly he did!
So, in general, I think this is a one time watch drama and I really recommend it. It only has 12 episodes but I think the story didn't need more episodes, so it's perfect in that sense.

Characters I'll always remember

So… I decided to watch this kdrama because of the hype, because EVERYONE was watching it. Thank god I did too, because it’s now in my list of favorite dramas.

STORY / PLOT
I thought that having a lawyer with autism was a really clever idea and I was curious as to how they would carry the story. They did it really well.
I need to mention the cases, because it’s a law drama. The cases in this one aren’t of the type I’m used to see. They usually put strong cases, such as murders, but in this drama this wasn’t the case, so it was refreshing to watch. They are more simple cases but with difficulties, of course. More like everyday life cases.
There is more romance than what I expected, because as Young Woo has autism well... you know. It was so sweet and I loved it.

CHARACTERS
Woo Young Woo is amazing, I loved her from the beginning. This character has a nice evolution in an aspect I can't talk about or it will be a spoiler, but her thinking about this is so nice.
The main man character, OH MY GOD. He’s such a lovely and sweet person I can tell you that he is like an angel that fell from the sky and got lost in our world. He treats Young Woo amazingly. He is so kind with her and always sees her as anyone else. I mean, he didn’t treat her like she had autism. He is one of the best characters I could encounter in a kdrama.
The secondary characters were lovely too, specially the head of the group of lawyers. I love him.

MUSIC
I didn’t pay attention to this really, but I got to add to my playlist a couple of them and they are nice, so I’m okay with the OSTs of this kdrama.

It was worth the hype

I decided to watch this drama merely because it was so popular and I was one of those people who hadn't watched it yet. I expected a lot from it, which was a reason why I was a little bit scared, but it was better than what I thought it would be and I understand why that much people love it.

Story
I like how the drama starts, it catches your eye inmediately and you of course want to keep seeing it, because it shows you something tha will happen 2 months in the future. As I was watching it more things kept appearing, they don't stick to one topic but there are a lot more, although of course they pay special attention to the main one.

Acting / cast
Amazing election for the cast and the acting blew my mind, I mean it. They portrayed really well the emotions and the way of being of their characters. I was specially shocked by Kim So Jeon (Cheon Seo Jin in the drama) because her character had a lot of sides and I think she couldn't have showed them to us in a better way, incredible job.

Rewatch value
I think that all good mistery dramas are worth to rewatch because knowing who did all the things makes you have a different view of the whole story since the beginning and you can pay attention to other details, so yes, in a year (for example) I would watch it again.

Really short

This drama has 3 stories, so I think I should give the opinion of them separately. I didn't like the first one at all. I do think it shows something that happens nowadays but I didn't like how they showed it, because there was almost no realism. Everything was more like a comedy for me, and a little bit strange, so I don't feel like I enjoyed it.
The second story is the best. I think that the romance between the two main characters is cute and in a short period of time there are few scenes that are really good. Overall, I think it was good and I enjoyed it.
The last one has, I believe, a topic that needs more episodes, because it is about discrimination. I think that for the viewer to be able to connect with the character and that way understand them better. That's why I couldn't kinda, as I say, connect with it, but it was not that bad, I consider it is cute and I liked the main girl character. However, the other characters were a little bit empty.
Principally, the stories should have been a little bit longer.
