One word: Ddabong!!
It's been a while since I've liked almost every character in a drama. Not only that, but also it's been a while since I've liked a main male lead this much. This drama may not be the best out there, may not have the most consistent and plausible plot, but it's enjoyable, heartwarming and funny. And at the end, even if you didn't like the drama, at least you'll know the word I said in the beginning lol
Hit The Top begins with a demi-original plotline: time traveling. While it's not completely original, and the explanations are very faulty, the show does a good job at exploring it's slice of life themes like family, friendship, love and finding your place in the world. The struggles the characters face are very real, althought not so deep exploited, and you will find yourself indetifying with them.
The first time I saw Yoon Shi Yoon was on Flower Boy Next Door (one of my first dramas) and I absolutely loved him there. Here he plays a similar character, but different at the same time. However I'm not here to compare the two, after all it's a completely different drama. But what I notice here was a slightly improvement in him. He seems more light, more funny. It's not like he's playing a character, his acting is so natural that you actually believe Hyun Jae is a real person.
As for the rest of the cast, I was quite impressed with Cha Tae Hyun, Yoong So Ha and Dong Hyun Bae. Each gave interesting layers to their characters, offering portrayals of real people rather than just characters. As for Kim Min Jae and Lee Se Young I wasn't impressed at all, but rather than liking their acting, I liked their characters, which was the main reasons I didn't dislike them at all.
The music fits the light and sometimes more tense tone of the drama, but nothing unforgetable.
As for the lenght, I thought it could've condensed everything a little bit, or at least give some decent explanations for the time traveling. Really, while the drama's strong points lies on characters and interactions, I think they forgot to add a more logical, without so much plot holes ending. Also I would've liked more hints on one of the big reveals of the series, because it ended up being too forced for my taste.
Overall it's a good drama. I liked almost all the characters, their friendship despite most having nothing to do with each other and the little life lessons it gives. Not perfect, it would be if it had a better execution and less plot holes.
