Let me first say I am not a huge fan of music dramas. I finally chose to sit down and watch "Shut up!:Flower Boy Band",(after it being out for a year), because my sister and I took on the Drama Genre challenge.
There were parts of the story that I was here for, while others I could have personally done without. The Main story line, beginning the Eye Candy band and their friendship, was the best part of drama. their friendship was endearing, and I think the best moments of the drama was from their interactions. I wasn't a huge Fan of Su-ah's characters, and the way the actress chose to portray here kind of irritated me. She felt redundant, and I found her character to be a little flat and underdeveloped to consume such a large part of the drama. Even with Ji Hyuk's and Su-ah's Romantic Story line, I never really saw chemistry between them. Which made me want to give up the drama at times because I was so disinterested in the love triangle. I just wanted to hear more music and other things related to the band.
I think the music in this drama was great, but I wish there had been more music from Eye Candy. I think by episode ten if I heard the song Byung Hee wrote for his muse one more time I was going to loose my head. So You could imagine how happy I was with "wake up",and that I actually liked it a lot.
For me this wasn't a life changing watch, and I can say in the past six years of Kdrama watching this doesn't fall into my top favorite. But I it was nice watch, and I particularly enjoyed the performance of most of the actors, (specifically eye candy), and will probably check them out if I see them in future drama's.
