One of the better dramas of 2024

Sad to see the low ratings.
I don't understand the hate on this series?? Yeah it was pretty cheesy and had several plot holes, but looking at the good parts, there were A LOT. I can easily compare this series with many others this year and it tops so much of them.

At first, I hated the fan turns into lover idea, but you had to keep watching to realize the main characters had more history than they realized. The plot twists, or just seeing the characters futures changing due to past jumping, got me really excited for the next episodes. It had me giggling in my seat, and I was also OBSESSED with the soundtrack. Not often you see main actors singing for their OSTs!! Minus points for the random plot confusion toward the end, I'd say this show was a success ♡

SeaKeen is adorable

Their acting felt so natural for a first series. Don't get me wrong, obviously they had to be overdramatic for the show, but you could see how they added theirselves to the script and it was super enjoyable to watch. I felt the plot fit well because Keen is ACTUALLY GOOD, at singing and dancing! Feels wrong to say, but many GMMTV artists aren't the best in the musical subject, so I felt happy watching him do his thing. I'll say the plot was pretty dragged and dramatic, but thinking about their chemistry and the casting for this series raised my rating. I've rewatched it already, and loved it once again, so I think this series deserves a solid 9.5 🫶

Casting was on point

I was so in love with the cast?? Chan-yeong did an awesome job playing the strong Deuk-pal, and the weak Yiheon. Watching the show, I could see the moments with Se-kyung and Yiheon potentially being a BL, but I'm kind of happy it wasn't, because that would be a love story between an old gangster and a high school student...not sure if that's what the novel did, but this show was perfect the way it was. Bong Jae hyun had my heart the whole show! Something about him just caught my attention. His English lines just added more liking to certain scenes. The ending was a little sad because Yiheon just let go of his life like that, but I'm happy Deuk-pal got to stay with Se-kyung! I rated the music low because it wasn't memorable to me, but it didn't affect the end rating. I would definitely rewatch!

GREAT CASTING

I really LOVED the acting!! The cast either made you really hate them, or really love them, which shows that they did their job in playing their roles. I thought the storyline was there, but it ended up missing quite a bit to it. I didn't quite understand the whole mystery shop guy turning into Eun-gyeol's mentor at the end, and the ending was also really rushed. A little disappointed that being in the past changed how their lives were in the future. It was kind of like they were saying they weren't happy with their middle-class life in a way?? Either way, my FAVORITE and I mean FAVORITE part of this series was Yi-chan and Cheong-ah's younger storyline. The actors were adorable, played their parts super well, and they were just eye grabbing ♡ I couldn't stand Se-kyung's daughter though. It seemed like they just added her for a love story with Eun-gyeol! Overall I rate this a stretched 8.5! I'd like to put it lower, but it's definitely rewatchable, thinking about all the great parts to this series.

Looks friendly but has secrets

I LOVED THIS SERIES!! I thought it would definitely be just a cheesy cute comedic reality type show, but I was wrong. The colors popped out, and the OSTs were very soothing to listen to. Not to mention that catchy intro?? Once I saw Son's story, I was sooo confused!
This series had me laughing and nervous for the characters sneaking around to find out the truth. I'm really hoping for a 2nd season, though I'm not sure how it would go since Son and Day have a kid, but I think it would be nice to continue their story. Thai shows tend to be overdramatic, so their acting was definitely on point knowing they were told to do that. I loved the cast, and everyone was likeable ♡

Emotional

I have yet to see another series top the bromance genre after this one. PARK JI-HOON'S ACTING?? The whole last episode had my jaw dropped. Not to mention his pretty eyes 🤭 Anyway, I loved Si-eun and Su-ho's friendship. Those two were a perfect match. The trio was basically psycho, fighter, weakling, and it was cute to see them all stand up for each other. The fighting really had me on the tips of my toes, so I'm rating this series HIGH. I went into this show only knowing Cha Woo-min and Choi Hyun-wook, and I wasn't disappointed AT ALL. All the actors were awesome. Only characters I didn't really like were Yeong-i and like the 2 sidekicks of Yeong-bin, but that's just cause they were annoying. That shows the actors did a great job making me hate them! I rewatched this several times, so I think this one should be a top show 🏅
