When I first saw the articles about this show before it started airing, I was mildly interested. I'd seen Sung Joon's acting before and while I enjoyed it, I was unsure of how well he would pull off a rocker. As it came closer to the time for the drama to air, my interest grew exponentially. The first episode had me completely hooked within ten minutes. For me, that's saying something. I usually find that dramas tend to keep the story pace fairly slow in the first two episodes, thoroughly setting up the drama. That has always annoyed me, but then again I'm a very impatient person. So to see this drama really setting things up in the first two episodes with plenty of action... Needless to say I was thrilled. To put it simply, Shut Up Flower Boy Band is superb. It takes bromance, first loves, music, and the struggles of being a high school student and rolls it all into a big ball of indie rock love. Each character has their own unique struggles to discover themselves. It shows the difficulties of coming into adulthood and having to balance friendship, love, school and work. I found myself laughing one minute, then crying for the next ten. Other times I was on the edge of my very uncomfortable seat, anxious to see what would come of their newest dilemma. More than once during an episode I found myself shouting at the screen, telling characters what an idiot they were, and getting just as frustrated as they did when things didn't turn out the way they'd - and I'd - hoped. Perhaps the best part about this drama is the sheer imperfections. The characters aren't perfect. They aren't bubbly and cute. They are hard, raw and almost violent in their passion for life, love and music. That may be what makes it so addicting and fascinating to watch. Shut Up Flower Boy Band is a must watch. I highly recommend it - and a box of tissues.
