When the actors make the show glow

I'll keep this really short!!!

This is type of a drama with a basic ass plot which we've seen it million times before, from enemies to lovers. Nothing mind blowing or new, BUT the actors made this drama interesting and addicting.
Great acting. Loved the chemistry between them. Loved the cute moments between them.
Nice camera work, and the cinematography is nice. The characters are nice, but you'll live for the main couple.

The plot might be interesting to someone who is new to this kind of "topics" or genre, but for me its pretty basic and its something I've seen at least 50 times. The story is predictable but easy to follow.
-plot= meehh
-acting=GREAT!!!!
-rewatch value= yes!

Boring, mediocre, easily forgettable

I started watching this drama few months ago, and I dropped it after the first few minutes. Then I came back and I was ready to give it another go, and somehow I ended up on episode 11. Let me be clear, the plot is not strong enough for the amount of episodes,the unnecessary long and boring scenes that are easily skippable, pointless dramas and what not.
The leads were alright,not the biggest fan. The acting was alright but some parts were cringey.
At least I liked the music. I guess that was the only thing that was not boring and pointless.
Other than that, this is a easily forgotten drama, especially through being uninteresting or mediocre.

It made me fall in love and then broke my heart just like my ex/ Only one time watch type of a drama

Well, this drama started great.
Loved the first few episodes and I was so hyped for the rest. I couldn't wait for it to air. But, then as the episodes went by, my interest sank lower and lower. I have no idea if my expectation were to high or the drama was getting boring and predictable.
Considering that now we are half way through, I think I can share my opinion on this drama.

LOVED that this was no love story of teens, but more mature one, and the story was quite intriguing. The actors are stunning and I really like the couples. The side characters are alright. As I said, as the story went on, I could've easily guess where it was heading. The stupid writing sometimes was just too predictable. It's been a while since we had a drama revolving around the fashion world and I really liked that. At the beginning I literally feel in love with the story but then It just broke my heart just like my ex. Meaning that you'll get easily hooked and then after a while you'll get disappointed.
That's how I felt with this drama, great start but somehow we are getting to a weak ending. It just lost me.
Again great actors and all but very weak writing at some points. Not gonna spoil the story because I never do in any of my reviews but it just left me disappointed. I will finish this one and probably never watch it again. Not worth it really

Miss KOREA ALWAYS DOES RIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO BL. THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION

I mean, c'mon now. We all know that miss Korea is trying slowly to produce some BL series and it might take some time till we see full length episodes but for now let's just enjoy these awesome and refreshing BLs. For short eight episodes you get an amazing development that shows how our leads go from "enemies" to lovers. The production is amazing and the story too, refreshing and cute.
The leads have an amazing chemistry and they look so good together. Ain't gonna spoil anything about the story or anything else. Give this one a try and I am sure that you are going to enjoy it.
Wondering if they are going to produce season 2, but they sure need to do something about it.

Middle Ground

Is this the best Bl out there? No, but it isn't the worst either.

Somewhat decent story, with decent acting and fairly decent delivery. It is a much better series than some other letdowns released this year.
The actors were likable, the acting was alright and their expressions were decent enough to make you watch the series. There were some cringe moments like in every other Bl butnothing out of the ordinary. The leads had decent chemistry and I want to see them in other concept.
The story itself was mediocre to me. Maybe because I've seen "better" series with this concept,but it's not that bad.
The music was nothing special to me.
The best part about this series were the moments of understanding, when they communicate to resolve their issues. (to some extent though)

Will I recommend this drama? Well, it's an easy story to follow, there aren't manny story holes, and the characters are not that bad, so if you want to watch this give it a try, you will most likely like it if you are interested in this kind of a concept.
For me it lacked substance to the plot, some scenes were boring to watch and I had to skip most of them, maybe because it was too predictable for me.

SAVE YOUR TEARS FOR ANOTHER DAY

This drama is one of THE BEST K-DRAMA EVER!! The story is amazing, and beside all the controversy surrounding it, this was actually really interesting to watch. The character development is amazing, and you can clearly see it. Enjoyed watching every aspect of the story but this is ONLY ONE TIME WATCH type of a drama. Very emotionally heavy and actually there is no point of re-watching it. The story is amazing, even tho I really hated certain aspects of it.
The end was expected but was really hard to take in. Just SAVE YOUR TEARS FOR SOMETHING ELSE. I want my tears back and THE MOST HURTFUL thing about this drama is the lack of sweet moments between the leads. I KNOW that this is not a typical love drama, but I really don't like that fact.
Im glad that it's over but definitely will be needed time to get over everything.

Watch this only for the main couple( EDITED)

There is one more episode till the end, but here is my opinion.
This part was totally different from the first one. Story-wise was here and there but you'll get confused when you start watching this part, so I recommend YOU to go back and watch the first one, just so you can have an idea what is what.
This part was only worth watching just for the main couple, witch is honestly my favourite for the last few months.
The side couple are all fine in their own way, but nothing special.
Many scenes are skippable. And definitely you'll notice the weird way of filming this drama, I have no idea why they did not stick with the original idea and continue from where it stopped.
First episode is a FULL SKIP
Second is a SKIP TOO
Start watching from the third episode and you'll be just fine.

---------------------EDIT------------------------
Sometimes I wonder, do I really support toxic relationships or the actors are just that good at what they are doing?
The answer is NO for both. Actually really enjoyed the "growth" of the main couple, but it got annoying the last few episodes.
The toxic part is just boring at this point, and the no communication trope is getting old. I understand that there are misunderstandings between the couples, but c'mon,20+ years old and still don't know that the key to a relationship is actually the communication beside all the cute and fluffy moments. I don't blame the actors, the writing sucks.
At this point I really don't see why you need to watch this show. If you are looking for cute actors, you got that, the story is boring, many dramas are having the same concept so nothing new, the writing is very bad, the way its filmed is honestly the some of the worst I've seen.
You can live without this drama. Don't waste your time watching this shit.

STR8 TO THE POINT!

1. Lim Joo Gyung- learned how to love herself, how to be more confident, how to overcome her bad memories, and found a boyfriend and a future husband that loves her for who she truly is.
2. Lee Su Ho- even though he grew up without a mom and his dad not being around him all the time because of his career, he still grew up with a heart full of love and warmth. He has so much love and understanding for Joo Gyung. Honestly, he is just amazing.
3. Han Seo Jun- such a sweet person in general. He is rocking that bad boy image, but he is so soft. A person with understanding and someone that will always be right by your side. We all need one Seo Jun in our lives.
4. King Soo Jin- Was living under so much pressure from her dad that she kinda lost her way of living. Happy to see her finally free and be the person she needs to be.

The support characters were amazing, from the family to the school friends. I'm honestly happy that this ended the way it should end. ( For those who wished that Gyung and Seo Jun should've ended up together, y'all wrong. Even if they did, she wouldn't love him as much as she loved Su Ho. That relationship would've ended pretty soon.)
Gyung and Su Ho complement each other and they fill up their gaps.

Moral of the story: Love yourself first before you can love someone else.

Average K-Drama with predictable plot

I was so happy to see Song Kang play in another drama after LA2,because that one was a tragedy.
He was the only reason why I started watching this drama in first place. After watching couple of episodes, I lost my interest completely.

The story was intriguing at first, and then it became boring. Way too predictable, we have the typical k-drama story which has been already done before, and we are basically walking in circles.

You can wait and see if the old man(which is basically the highlight of this show, but sometimes is annoying) with no prior experience will end up living his dream, watching the young ballet dancer losing his hope and spark for ballet and dealing with family problems, and then finally understand that he needs to do it just to prove himself that he was born to do this, and then fall in love with the old guy's granddaughter while she struggles to find a job while she's coming from a rich family.
It's blah-blah-blah. You need to watch only the first few episodes and you can guess how it's going to end.

Some might find it amazing, incredible and inspiring, but at the same time it's boring, long, nothing exciting and a plot we've seen many times before, just modernized a bit.
I was really hoping that I'll enjoy another good drama with him, but this was a little disappointing.
