BROMANCE- this drama in a nutshell. Instead of focusing on romance, it puts its focus on teamwork and growth/maturity, which are common elements found in school dramas (this is not a school drama though). Normally that fact itself would turn me away from it, since I tend to stick to cheesy romances, but somehow I decided to try it anyway. The story, while not totally original, was pretty well written. Character development was this show's strong point, and really shows through in Shin Suk ho the protagonist. His change is so naturally woven into the story line that by the end, I was really shocked to see how far he had come. This drama did a wonderful job and adding in touching scenes; some were so wonderfully unique that they really surprised me. They had me sympathizing with almost all of the characters, which really was the only thing that kept me invested. There were, however, some minor issues that were left unresolved at the end. I wont state them here, because no one likes spoilers right? But they weren't too noticeable and could really be ignored so it was not that big a deal for me. The plot line did not interest me all that much, but I did continue and I'm glad I did. I'm sure many of you know that it was extended for two episodes, and I think that was part of its downfall. I was really interested for the beginning and the end, but somewhere along the middle they nearly lost me. As I said before, Ji Sung's character development was phenomenal. He was able to make you hate him in the first episode and love him in the next. His emotional portrayal was superb, as expected of course, because he's an amazing actor. I was really happy to see that Kang Min Hyuk from CNBlue would be in this drama, because he is one of my faves. Because he is an idol, I didn't expect much, but damn he blew me away. His emotional scenes were absolutely amazing, and could possibly even rival an A-list actor. I know a lot of people have complained about Hyeri being cast, but actually I think she did a fine job. She was a bit stiff at times, but she did what she needed to do for the character. What I do think though, is that her character did not need to be in this drama. She didn't really play a crucial role in the plot besides giving Ji Sung a love interest, which even as a hopeless romantic, I didn't feel that it was needed. The other actors who played the guys in the band did an awesome job as well. You'll fall in love with every single one of them and watch out for the little boy. He's going to melt your heart <3. This drama was about music so of course it had to have a great OST. I love love love the OST for this show, especially "I see you" (which yeah can get a bit old since they played it so often) and "Lost Child". I've listened to them on a loop like a million times. Personally, I would not rewatch it. I'm not saying it's a bad drama, but I very rarely rewatch dramas so it has to be really really good for me to do so. That said, it's a solid one time watch and I'm really glad I decided to watch it. I wouldn't say it's a must watch if you've got other shows you want to watch, but it's definitely worth a try! ^.^
