Do you believe in magic?

I must say, I didn't expect it to be this good. I loved the psychological side of it and how much it focused on the hardships of students. It showed a different side to what it feels like to want to be an adult, to have dreams and how hard it can be to have a different future then what the society expects.

Story: The story was really interesting. The biggest mystery was the girls disappearance, but if you pay attention to the biginning you would know who is responsible. Some things were predictable, but some parts actually surprised me and made the story even better.

Acting: Its really a star studded cast. I loved them all and I hope that this will get a second season because I can't get enough of the cast.

Music: I completely forgot it was a musical when I began the first episode, and then they suddenly started singing and I was confused, but the music was so beautiful, sad and fun at the same time, it was really nicely done.

If there is a season 2 I might rewatch this one to connect the story better.

Very relaxing and cute

Its a perfect easy going drama where even if there are problems, they get solved easily.
The main couple was super cute but I lived for Hye Sun and Jae Jin.

Story: The story is very complete and lighthearted. There weren't any plot holes and it felt consistant. I think the light and cute ending was very apropriate and i also loved the way the ending rounded off all of the couples and side stories.

Acting/Cast: This is my first time watching these actors and i really think they were perfect for this drama. I has a major second lead syndrome crush amd at the beginning I really wanted the FL to end up with the second lead. The ML had a very creepy smile at the beginning so that set me off, but honestly, very good acting and cast.

Music: I seriously didn't notice the music too much, it just set a nice mood and added to the scene.

The rewatch value is low simply because, even though this drama was good, it didn't leave a special feeling with me, but it might just be my taste in dramas, which is definetly more on the action and dramatic side.

Overall, it is a good drama and it is worth a watch, you won't regret it!!

This entire drama was a misunderstanding

I rarely write reviews, and when I do it's for an insanely good drama or actual hell. I guess this drama wasn't really hell, but it was definitely the purgatory. If you like the misunderstanding trope, you will like this drama, because every single "dramatic" thing that happened was a misunderstanding.
The actors definitely did a great job, I applaud to them all, some are new for me, but some I've seen in previous dramas.
The main characters ( including Letao and Cheng Lang and their "significant others) had a relatively developed story. There were definitely some specific problems, like Letao choosing not to tell XiaoJu who she was marrying until the day before??? Shiyi never being seen studying despite majoring in MEDICINE. And then choosing to propose at LeTao's wedding, without ever actually being with XiaoJu. Although being in love with her for nearly ten years might account for that. Everyone in the drama switched their partner at least once, but Shiyi tied himself to Xiaoju and never let go. I swear the writers ex boyfriend must have been called Shiyi or something similar, which is why they chose to torture him until quite literally THE LAST EPISODE.
I might have enjoyed it more if the sole focus wasn't just on their love lives, but on what it actually feels like to be a student, because if you are or if you ever were one, you would know that it's not as bright and free as they were.
I have to admit, I did finish it quickly, and it isn't a necessarily bad drama, it just wasn't really executed correctly, so it tires you out and makes itself very predictable.

Why did they have Christmas decor on Halloween?

The headline explaines everything, no one knows whats going on in this drama.
Its not necessarlly bad, it just could have been better.
Story : The story was good, it had interesting twists and turns, I just think it had too many of them and many were very cliché. I explained this entire plot to my boyfriend and went through the entire story with him and every time he thought " this is it " it actually wasn't. The story jumped from one moment to another and every scene was repeated at least once in a flashback or something, which made the entire drama look a bit hectic. I think that this was the directors and the writers way of filling up plot holes and a few of them were left unfilled. I think that if we got rid of the flashbacks and just explained the story in its entirety without changing the plot 7 times it would have been better. The story also either progressed a lot in short time or sat in one place. ⚠️ The ending was really weird with the " ill make the entire world forget me " and " she has to be happy, so ill disappear " cliché. And don't get me started on the actual ending of the ML bringing her to her death after she remembers him.⚠️

Acting/Cast: I think that the FL's acting could have been better, ive seen her other work and I think it looks like this because the FL is simply written badly. Kang Haram is just a typical messy heroic idiot that tries to solve a problem but instead fails and ends up crying and being saved.
The ML isn't actually that bad. His charachter could have been written better then this, but the actor saved everything. I couldn't remember his name so i always called him fake Ok Taecyeon because they really look alike.

I never actually noticed the OST or any of the soundtracks so thats that.

Its not a bad drama, i think that if you like dramas with a lot of suspence and generally crime and thriller dramas, I think that you will like it. You just need the stomach for horrible clichés and weird plots. You should read a review from someone who really liked this drama and decide if you want to watch it.
