Watching this movie gave me butterflies. I was giddy the whole time. Kim Go Eun and Jung Hae In have such beautiful chemistry. I felt like I was falling in love with them as they fell in love with each other. The playlist is also AMAZING and befitting of the film's title.

That being said, the time gaps were poorly done. Conflict arises over situations that could easily be fixed. The breakups and reunions are very clumsily done. Definitely not a movie to watch for the story but more so for the feeling it leaves you with.

I really liked this movie, especially the beginning because it was hilarious. It was different from how I imagined it, and at times (very rarely) it dragged a little. The two leads had great chemistry and it wasn't cheesy or cliche. It had just the right amount of romance to make you feel like they were truly in love with each other and their disagreements were very cute at times and heartbreaking at others.Overall I'm definitely glad I watched it. It's once of the most realistic protayals of couples I've ever seen.

I personally think this drama is highly overrated. The script is ridiculous in its extremities, and while I know most people don't watch dramas because of their closeness to reality, this was just a little much.

There was never a main plot or driving force. Mostly it seemed like the writers were just trying to find as many ways as possible for our leads to be miserable. Honestly, I've never seen so many psychotic antagonists in my life. Like everyone was LEGIT crazy. And they just kept coming out of nowhere, showing up randomly.

Character development was also incredibly flawed when it came to side characters. Their relationships had little to no foundation and often went unexplained. Somehow in a matter of minutes sworn-enemies began acting like life-long friends and the audience was just forced to accept it.

This drama's only strong point was its OTP and having actors like Barbie and Zhou be able to convincingly sell the characters. Even though I went throughout this entire drama scratching my head wondering how much worse it could become, I couldn't stop watching this drama for the sole reason that I loved seeing these two actors on screen together. Their chemistry is fabulous and it's easy to see how they began dating after the drama.

While Mars was definitely entertaining at times, and definitely solid when it came to romance, the script was a HOT MESS, and for that reason I gave it a low rating.

Unlike some of the other reviews, I found this move entertaining from beginning to end. It was funny and weird and original in many ways. I thought the way all the stories tied in together was very clever. I really love these types of movies.

The ending was really creative, though it took me about five minutes to understand it.

A good movie to watch alone.

I was hesitant to watch this drama because the drama had so many mixed reviews. And now that I've completed it I understand why. The plot is often frustrating, nonsensical, and just unrealistic. (Although I didn't find it slow as many others did. Definitely mellow however.) That being said, what kept me watching was the chemistry between two leads. It truly gave me butterflies, and I felt like I was falling in love with them. Also the OSTs for this drama are amazing. They are songs you'll continue to listen to even after you're done watching.

As far a re-watch value, you'll probably only go back to watch your favorite scenes.

I had seen the preview of this video and thought it looked interesting. After watching the first episode, I was hooked. I watched 7 episodes straight in one day,and the only reason I stopped was because the rest haven't been subbed. The chemistry between all three leads is electric. This is definitely a drama you don't want to miss.
