An angst filled but satisfying teen boys love drama
I'm a little undecided about this drama. On the one hand, I think that Light on Me is great for everyone to watch, either as an introductory taste to boys love or just as a gripping love story but I can't help feeling unfulfilled with the story overall. Now, don't get me wrong, I felt satisfied with where all the characters left off but I wanted more happy scenes and less of the angst, although maybe this was to be expected considering this is a drama targeted at teens, and the formula follows the classic Kdrama style (16 eps, intense drama, couple getting together right at the end, lacklustre kiss) And so, you see where my problems lie.
The story overall was great, the love triangle dynamic between Da On, Shin Woo and Tae Kyung was interesting as the characters had depth that is not all to common in boys love dramas. Saying that, I just felt like the story dragged in places, especially between Da On and Tae Kyung, I might be biased because I've been team Shin Woo from the beginning, but, I felt like especially in the last few episodes we could have had more Shin Woo scenes, because without this it made Tae Kyung's end decision seem rushed. The other characters were great, especially Nam Goong, I loved how wise he was and protective of his friends, he also added the majority of the comedy which helped the drama feel less stuffy. So Hee wasn't very likable, but I think she was an interesting 'villain' character, because at some points I did really feel sorry for her. I liked that the characters gained some personal growth by the end of the drama, Da On seemed to really grow into himself, So Hee was a better friend but, Nam Goong was, well, Nam Goong.
Honestly, all I can hope for is another series, or a special episode, because I was definitely left wanting more. I have to give credit where its due because the actors did a perfect job of portraying the characters, and the production quality was really high but saying that, I can't see myself rewatching this series anytime soon because it was a bit to slow and angst filled for me.
