This was a cute simple one
So, the FL is determined to prove that ML is a merman that saved her but, of course, ML doesn't know what she's talking about. He's an orphan that's trying to find out answers, but that still doesn't stop FL from trying to discover ML's secret.The first kiss is episode 7 all because ML read her notes and wanted to get FL's satisfaction that he wasn't a merman. Of course, the SML also has loved the FL for a while now, but he gets turned down (of course), but SML at least gets to fall in love with SFL (which, is adorable).
ML & FL doesn't officially go out until Ep. 14. She did confess her love to him in ep 11 but was turned down because he wasn't ready to open his heart again after what happened to his first girl. He didn't want to make another mistake.
Each of the characters has their own personal issues that they deal with and of course, you have other people that come to the resort that have their issues that get resolved in the end.
To me, I know some didn't enjoy it, but I was actually enjoying it. Though, FL hasn't changed much from when she did "Miss in Kiss". Her hair is mostly in a side ponytail, but she was still cute and "annoying" as ever. Haha
Also, expect LOTS of half-naked guys. I didn't mind it so much. I just wished they didn't wear speedos. I preferred them in the swim trunks. And I think that really bothered me the most was that it was 1 girl and 4 guys for the swim rescue team. I would have liked to have given her another female friend, but, SFL was good for me. She wasn't AS clingy as most second females would be. Once she knew that ML liked FL, he accepted her defeat.
P.S. - In the end, we'll never know if ML is REALLY a merman since whenever he got wet, he never once became a merman, so we'll never know who saved FL in the beginning, but overall, it was a cute drama and I enjoyed it. It was a nice cleanser after watching "Sweet First Love".

Always a must watch!
DANG, IT! I loved this drama! I couldn't wait for every 5 episodes to be out on Netflix so I just binged watched it on Dramacool and I'm glad I did. This drama was sweet all the way. Not even any breakup scene. YAH!The couples are soooooooooooo cute together! I love that we showed him starting to have feelings for her and wanting to woo her. I loved every episode of it. Made me laugh, cry, and just happy all the way!
The acting was amazing all the way! And honestly, 5 years isn't bad at all. Trust me. I looooved both ML and FL. They worked perfectly and adorably together.
Honestly, I loved everything about this whole drama. It was so adorable to see the two lead together. You can tell there was so much chemistry happening, even down to all the kissing scenes!

Loved it! Perfect love-story
I really loved this drama. Sure, it may not have been something you're used to when it comes to romantic drama, but I loved it either way! I cried so many times, especially in the last three episodes.I love that Hee Do and Yi Jin have amazing chemistry, but I think I cried the most when it came to the relationship between Hee Do and Yu Rim. I loved their friendship once they were over being each other's 'evil' rivals.
Even if it's not something we're used to, the drama was still amazing. I loved the story and the music. Everything was done perfectly. But yes, I always do wonder what might have happened IF she had read her lost diary sooner, would it really have changed the course of the story?
I'm glad that even the second character got to shine!

A Sweet Love Story A Must Watch for All C-Drama Fans
Oh my goodness. This was such a sweet drama to enjoy, literally. If you want a sweet drama, THIS is the drama for you. The chemistry between the leads is Super-Duper on/off-screen. They were the cutest I have ever seen. And I've never seen any of Bai Lu's drama before so this really was adorable to watch.Kido and Riley Wang were also cute. Though, I think I preferred Riley after the 30th episode, oh, and speaking of 30 episodes. I will let you know that IF you want, you CAN stop at episode 30. I'm pretending that the last 6 episodes are considered "extra special" episodes because the way episode 30 ended was perfect, but having that extra 6 episode was adorable. I will say, don't watch half of episode 34. I wanted to punch Du Lei for trying to force Jiang Jun to love him. Like, if she hasn't seen you any more than a teacher figure after the 3 years of knowing him, it's a hint that she loves Yuan Shuai more than you can ever know. Urgh. Episode 34 made me so angry. URGH!
Episode 20 made me cry so much all because of the amazing kiss. I loved that Bai Lu came up with the idea of that kiss scene and my goodness, my heart melted for the scene along with it being timed perfectly with the music and URGH, I thought My Unicorn Girl had a sweet kiss scene. Well, nothing beats episode 20 of Love Is Sweet. Out of all the c-dramas I've watched so far, this one is above 100%.
In the end, all the actors have done a good job portraying their character. I still cannot handle Du Lei. I think out of all the characters that really bugged me the most, it would have to be Du Lei.
Music. Now, let's talk about music. The music is amazing! I even downloaded each of the songs and I'm someone who doesn't have a lot of c-dramas OST, but this c-drama had so many songs and each of those songs was perfect. It literally fits the spot where it belonged. Not only did I really enjoy the story, I mostly enjoyed the music.

Wow! I loved it!
Oh my goodness. I don't even know what to say about this drama. The last time I really watched a Thai drama was The Ugly Duckly Series and I only enjoyed the Perfect Match ones. Oh, and Kiss Me and Full House. Otherwise, I really don't watch many Thai dramas. And it's funny because I was born there.Anyways, moving on. I came upon this drama like 3 days ago when YouTube suggested a music video. I watched that and then went to watch the drama and oh man, it was amazing! I loved every minute of it.
I just want to say that everyone fits their characters PERFECTLY! I was amazed at how well this drama and story were. The ML and FL were good together and might I say, the ML was *cough* hot *cough.
If you enjoy romance with some revenge, well, this really is the drama for you. There really isn't an annoying love triangle beside the step-sister, wanting to take revenge on the ML after finding out the truth.
The story was amazing. Each episode left me hanging for the next one that I just kept on watching. This drama gave me so much feeling. Episode 13 made me cry all because it was sweet and feelings just built up inside me.
And yes, there is a happy ending. I got worried a bit there because those last 3 episodes were quite intense. But in the end, I'm glad it was a happy ending and in the long run, everyone learned something new and it was just a good drama.
I think the reason I liked it so much is that both the FL and ML were both adopted and the ML dwelt on the past, wanting revenge. For someone who was adopted, this hit me hard because yes, when I was younger, I did dwell a lot on the past as to "why" my parents didn't come for me sooner? There were a lot of questions I asked that dwelt on the past, but I also learned that I can't change the past and I have to move forward. If I could change the past, I would, but since I couldn't, I had to deal with the present and live with it, knowing that others have had it worse than myself.
So yeah, this drama is so good that it would be something I'd re-watch.
Though, this drama is a little on the mature side with all the killing the beating, just a heads up for those who aren't used to this kind of drama.
I was watching episode 6 when I was like... WOW! I am SO loving this drama!

I enjoyed this drama...
I just finished this drama. It took me about 4 days to finish it because I was busy with other stuff, but I wanted to say that I enjoyed this drama. So far, most of the C-dramas that I've seen this year, I've really enjoyed. I like the casts they chose and I thought it was cute.And yes, I agree that I didn't care for the breakup scene, but I'm going to let others watch that part and write that for yourself since I didn't want to spoil anything. I will just let you know that that breakup scene reminded me a little of “A Love So Beautiful” where they want to break up but don’t want to say as to why they want to break up.
I will just let you know that it's a happy ending. As long as there's a happy ending in a drama, I'm down to watching it and I'm glad I checked out a bit of the last episode to know that it was gonna be a happy one.
In the end, I would re-watch this again. This is a nice drama for those who are just getting started and like the coming of age romance where it's a bit of college (or high school) love that grows over time.
Also, I agree with all the recommended suggestion of other cdramas to watch if you enjoy this one.
My favorites are: My Unicorn Girl, A Love So Beautiful, and Put Your Head On My Shoulder.

My FIRST J-Drama
Back when I didn't understand what Asian dramas were, this would have to have been my very first drama that started it all.I was (and still am) a huge Sailor Moon fan growing up and I LOVED the anime. But then I saw this on YouTube one day and watched it and remember loving it. I remember wanting to sing a lot of the songs and well, I just enjoyed this live-action A LOT!
But as I grew up, I understand that this was considered an Asian drama and I can say that THIS was my drama that started it all. My love for Asian drama, of course, didn't officially start until 2013. Thank you, DramaFever.
So, this really isn't a review but more of how much I loved this drama growing up, to this day, I still enjoy it.

I only watched this because it pretty much had all the guys that are my total crush. It was fairly cute for being what it is. I know they really didn't spend much time making it because, in the last episode, they forgot to film Lee Min-Ho's part so the episode ended a week late. Haha
I guess it's a cute mini-drama if you want to watch something in under 2 hours. Then again, I haven't seen this since it first came out so I don't remember a lot that happened besides a girl, just wanting to get her first kiss and getting a chance to try it 7 times with these AMAZING HOT dudes that I would TOTALLY want to kiss!

If you're a Itazura Na Kiss fan, this is a must watch!
I've watched several adaptations of the Itazura Na Kiss (from 1996 to the most current one, this one) franchise and like all others, had high expectations for this one. And it played out very well.Out of all the many, many, many versions of Itazura Na Kiss, this one made me ball my eyes out during that one part (you'll know what I mean when you watch it). It's of my favorite that I even downloaded it because it's one of those ones you can easily re-watch over and over.
Even if you know how all the version's gonna end, this one made me cry the most because it wasn't like the others, this was a little of their own version and I loved every minute of it.

Love Triangle = Must Watch Rom-Com!
I don't care what anyone tells me, I have always been Team Suho since episode 1, even if True Beauty did try their very best to sway me, I still couldn't be swayed because I still held on for my man until the very ending!To me, this drama did not disappoint me whatsoever. This drama was everything I could have ever asked for. I loved it so much, took me back to my High School years when I was cyberbullied for either being too fat or not being a good writer, so I connected with Lim Joo Gyung so well.
There were lots of laughter and crying along the way, I had my favorite scenes I could re-watch all the time. This will be one of those shows where it's a great starter. This show really was a good way to open up the door for future kdrama.
To me, I never read the Webtoon and honestly, I'm glad I didn't read the webtoon, otherwise, I would have REALLY been torn between our two male leads.
In the end, everyone got their happy ending, even if it wasn't the ending that some might have hoped for, but to me, it was everything. Thank you so much, TvN for such a rollercoaster drama.
