I'd like to start off by saying that regardless of what you read about this drama, you should watch it. It is incredibly frustrating at times, but also amazing at others. I guarantee you won't be bored.
Story:
The story is honestly what made me finish this drama in two days. At face value, it seems like the typical shoujo anime, but there are a lot of complexities to it. I think what really fascinates me is how much is hidden about the characters, and as the story unfolds, we learn more about their traits. Moreover, there's a sense of development and growth that takes place. At the same time, there are several minor storylines that take place that are honestly just as interesting as the main plot, so it's just very entertaining to watch it all play out. I wish I could say more, but honestly I really don't want to spoil it lol.
Cast:
Love them. Even the ones I hate, I love. The cast is the highlight of this drama, for me. Each and every one of them plays their role perfectly. But at the same time, they aren't one-dimensional. The protagonist isn't always the goody-goody who you can't help but adore, sometimes you want to punch her in the face (or at least I did hehe). The antagonists (and oh my there are many) are people you eventually begin to understand (probably not like, but at least understand their point of view). My point is, there are so many emotions these characters make you feel, I felt so drained after finishing the drama. Like I'd lived multiple lives in a day. PLUS, major bonus points for Seo Kang Joon. I mean, he's gorgeous, and his character was impossible not to fall in love with.
Music:
I mean, do people really remember drama OSTs? The only track I can remember is that short, cute one they play at the start of every episode. That's not even a song though haha. Idk, don't remember any particular song standing out throughout.
Overall:
I rated the re-watch value low because I think it's the kind of drama that's more enjoyable when you don't know what's going to happen next. I would def recommend watching it asap. It'll make you cry a lot. Or at least, I did. I suppose it depends on how you feel about the characters. But most importantly, it's definitely not boring. INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING, oh yes, very often. But boring? Nope, have fun.
