I had shied away from this drama numerous times. The name of the drama repelled me. Seriously, who named this drama? Shut Up Flower Boy Band, seriously?
Before starting this drama I had read few comments as well as reviews and they were mostly mixed. So I was not really sure whether I would really like this drama or not, given the ridiculous name and the mixed reviews. But, boy was I wrong! I was so stupid for not giving this a try earlier on.
It was a beautiful drama. I fell in love with Sung Joon in this drama. The situations portrayed in this drama were relatable. The coming of age story was so sweet. Each of the characters developed throughout the drama and grew up. I was hooked from the very first episode. Their struggle as a band, their strong bond and self discovery was depicted so nicely. At first I found the main female lead to be annoying. She seemed to be the same typical damsel in distress, who had every guy falling at her feet. But, even though she was a damsel in distress yet she took responsibility for herself and her situation and gave a piece of her mind when it was needed. And I learned to love her as the story progressed further.
At first, I was of the opinion that this drama was about some silly band, their struggle and eventually their rise to fame and THE END. But it is that and more than that. This drama made me care for all the characters within the first 2 episodes. For the ones who stated that they dropped this after episode 2, you are missing out because the drama gets better after that. Fast pace made the drama even more enjoyable and there was not a single boring moment in the drama where I wanted to skip the parts. The OST in this drama is great! Jaywalking is my favourite.
This drama surpassed my expectations. I suggest everyone to give it a try and not to drop it after the second episode.
