Twenty steps away from the toilet and just around the corner from the stairs.
This drama was made for web-viewing. The 21-episodes format is the original web-drama version. It is combined together into 6 episodes for normal drama length. So, you may come across 21 eps or 6 eps - both are complete versions. Now that I've cleared the confusion re the length of this drama, let's get to the review.......
Story: Average looking girl with an average height has a low-self esteem problem with her looks. It didn't help that others around her passed negative comments about her looks too (yes! society is cruel this way)! She had never dated before and has this huge crush on the school's handsomest and most talented guy (who doesn't eh?). Her mum seeing how down and depressed she was with her looks and inability to date, passed on a family secret about a ring that can make the person whom you like see you as his/her ideal partner. She was at first skeptical but later was excited when the ring actually worked. The school's heartthrob fell for her. Life's starting to look and feel good. But is that true? You know what they always say.......trouble in paradise.....nothing's ever perfect!
This is a short sweet story that all young women who suffer from low-self esteem about their looks should watch. It has a positive and uplifting message at the end about love and beauty. In a nutshell, it nails the old saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"!
Frankly, I wouldn't have watched this drama if not for me being on sick leave for two days. Feeling urrghhh from a bout of flu, I wanted something light, sweet, uplifting and quick. After reading reviews, I decided to watch this drama. I wasn't disappointed. For a short drama, it's worth the one whole day I spent on my coach - covered with blankets and pillows, a full box of tissue for my runny nose, warm tea, yummy snacks and heater on. It's an ideal drama for relaxation. Doesn't require any brain cells to decipher what's going on. Doesn't incite any strong negative emotions such as sadness, anger, frustration etc. There's no evil character whom you wish you could punch. For me, the drama ends with me thinking "Ah~~~! How nice and sweet!" So, if you are after a quick, relaxing and sweet drama, this one is for you!
Acting/Cast: There's no odd or awkward acting despite the relatively young cast. Everyone did well.
Music: This is a short web-drama. No OSTs worth mentioning here.
Re-watch value: High because of its brevity and uncomplicated story.
Overall: Highly recommended for those who's after a short drama that delivers all the beloved KDrama staples: romance, handsome male lead, triangle love and happily ever after.
