First, i really want to say how pretty is Satomi in this drama lol. I started watch this drama because so many people recommending it an saying that this drama is really good. So, here is my review. (may contain spoiler!!)

STORY.
i really interested with the plot, at first. Honestly expect so many things happen. I don't want to deny that the plot is really refreshing. It is new, never i saw any drama with plot like this. Basically more focused on the sisters' relationship and the romance is really didn't have any impact for those who searching for romance based drama plot. I felt like even though this is new, the story didn't have any impactful climax. All the problems are settled really quickly. I don't really get the emotional effect like it should be with all those sad emotional scene. Maybe because i never or rarely watch japan's drama, so it could be japan's trade mark with this kind of emotions.

ACTING-CHARACTER
even though i am not really get the eye-candy face from the male the female cast are really pretty. i feel like this drama character aren't strong enough. it feels they are just changing to different personality as the drama goes towards the end. Like in the beginning it said Hazuki are really meticulous and clean freak etc but turns out to be clumsy later. Misaki suddenly turns into cry baby but it told that she is kinda tough girl and stuff. The acting deliver, well i am not a pro, but i really don't get the emotional effect as it should. i already said that before the plot and the acting didn't really blend and it didn't have any impact for me.

MUSIC.
i don't really pay attention to this aspect, as usual, because i am more focused on the plot and stuff. The song that really catch my ears--and the most played in the whole drama is titled Happiness and it is really good! :D another good point.

OTHER STUFF
First, i don't really get why the character in the drama are not really...emotional? like where the scene when Hazuki money is stolen by her mom and turns out her mom's 'boyfriend' scam her, she didn't really get angry like ???? okay, she express the anger but it feels like it was really plain. When something big/bad/sad happened they just got a lil bit annoyed and it past like nothing happen. And the next day they were like 'oh nothing happened everything is okay' . And on the positive sides, the places they take to shoot are all really pretty! especially apple seed cafe. IT IS REALLY CUTE lol


p.s: the scene where misaki deliver her baby is fucking weird (i am sorry because i was like wtf????)

WILL I WATCH IT AGAIN?
maybe later, when i don't have anything to watch.

OVERALL THOUGHT
this drama is recommended for you whose not into heavy conflict or dramatic emotional roller-coaster, and not seeking for romance type drama. I wanted to give this drama a high point IF it's for a light typed plot and family oriented category. It feels at some point the progress is too rushed and it will be good if this drama have longer episode the elaborate the character and the plot as well.

The moment i watch 20 minutes of this movie, it really reminds me a lot with You Are The Apple Of My Eyes. Some people say this is the girl version of it, though it maybe different in plot but i really do feel that.


PLOT
i couldn't say much about the plot.it's typical first-love-flash-back and it gives similar vibe to the 'apple of my eyes', What i really like the most about the plot is although this is really cliche, and the ending too, the writer developed it really well. This typical plot is really risky, you can either make it fail (like BBF) or really good. I could say this one is a success. I really like how they developed each character and knowing each other, recognize their feeling slowly, and i really did not expect the love line between the character. It really left me with a sweet feeling. ((and got me emotional over Darren Wang' narration)) Also, the story really brings out the purity about our adolescent days with a little bit humor this and there and they put right amount of emotion; not too dramatically sad, funny at the same time.

CHARACTER/ACTOR
well.... i really like Truly character. She got that nosy typical female lead character, but it really give me a picture about a girl who's in their teenage days, still pure and innocent. Vivian Sung did really great at picturing Truly's character, i could say. And for Darren Wang, yep he is really charming. The more you see, the more he is handsome-r in your eyes (lol). And for Darren character, it didn't have any impactful remarks for me except, yes, he is gonna be your ideal badass-but-really-sweet-hearted boy. And Darren Wang really remain me of Jisoo. The supporting character are really fun, such us both friends who's really silly. They live up the mood.

MUSIC
I tried so hard to focus on the music too!and i could say the music is really pretty, the sound producer really make a good job about the sound placement. There's no music or sound that really annoys and distract you. It really blends well with the movie.

OTHERS
i personally really like about the cinematography. The movie's tone is really great, and the angles they took is good. The set is really suit with their plot and overall, i think they're really make a good job about the set.

AM I GONNA WATCH THIS AGAIN?
personally, i am not the type who's gonna rewatch something. I probably dont, but i think this is worth-watching twice.

Afterall, this movie is really sweet. It even good without kiss scene or excessive romance. I think the main charm of this movie is the pureness that it gives, reminding us how innocent our adolescent days. Making me throwing back my memories about highschool!

At first, i just get curious watching this drama because the review is not really bad, some even said that this is really good. This is not the typical plot that i get interested to; the kind of CEO falling in love with the poor girl, or rich man poor girl themed--you say it.

((MAYBE)) contain spoiler

The plot.
Like i said this drama plot actually really cliche, where the CEO slowly falling in love with the not-so rich girl, BUT what i like the most about this drama plot is there's no extremely evil ex-girlfriend or mother in law or so. Another point is i really love this drama because the plot really showing the progress between the main lead, how they become a couple and overcome the troubles. Also, i think the troubles they face is kind of relate-able in some cases like the office gossip and so. Some people maybe said that the plot is too draggy, but i think this is just fine, and i really enjoying how it goes till the end

The character.
Okay, i'm going to say a lot about this. the character actually really similar to any other this richman poor girl themed drama. The main girl is pure-innocent kind girl who loves to help others and sympathetic, the main guy is cold, dominant, hard-outside-soft-inside kind of guy, and also little bit too quiet. Sometimes it's frustrating because this personality they can not communicate well, thinking maybe too scared to hurt each other, and the girl sometimes tooo innocent that it brings up my anger. The antagonist in this drama isn't like any other korean drama (that i often watch) like extremely cruel mother in law or so.

The music.
Honestly i'm not an music expert and not paying lot of attention to their music but i think it's pretty okay. but i haven't got really interest with their ost so i could say is the music is decent,

Extra point.
i noticed that (i think) they didn't really put much effort into clothes like the main lead often wears the same thing over and over in same style. I mean, if its mixed and match its acceptable. but same style and same clothes? i think they can put much effort from that Also some little details are missed since i am details freak lol. but afterall this little things aren't important.

OVERALL THOUGHTS
i think if you looking for entertainment drama, not so serious plot and problems this is really good for you. At first i didn't have any expectation that i would enjoy this kind of drama, since i watched this because lately there's no good drama or i think worth to watch (SIGNAL IS TOOOO GOOD) this is your kind of cliche drama but at some point really makes you curious how they developed every episode.
This is, literally, drama that i don't expect to enjoy. and might be underestimating this drama too much.


AM I GONNA WATCH IT AGAIN?
Might be. At some point i dont really like the cliche plot, but another point i slightly shipping this pair and liking the progress.



SORRY FOR THE LONG POST LOL ;~;
