As someone who has only watched this adaption and not the other versions... I would say there was too much hype about the drama, but I was left a bit disappointed. Maybe the hype was because of the original version but this one definitely did not give as much as it promised.

Story was pretty much okay-ish. Some episodes were spicy, some were sweet with hugs and kisses, some were bitter with couples and friends turning each other but some were just too bland. I had been planning to watch this drama for quite some time; the only think that kept me from doing so was the number of episodes (I don't have the patience to watch dramas with more than 38 episodes). What I loved about the story was that unlike other rom-com dramas, it isn't all strawberry cakes, some hearts are broken too and some never get to be with their lover, which is quite realistic.

When you get to see so many handsome boys, it just makes your drama better but your sense of judging acting skills poor. But it was still quite good.

Direction was overall average but a bit flat at parts with python-like long flashbacks. There were episodes I completed in just 5-10 minutes because they were made up of only flashbacks. Some lovey-dovey scenes were so long, it became annoying. I just went skip-skip-skip and skipand skip...

Aesthetics (overall look) was good, made better with those handsome F4 boys. There were so many beautiful sceneries, especially the part shot in London. There weren't much shots in the dark, which require you to turn to dark mode to be able to watch them.

Music was varied and good- some soul soothing tracks, some can sing you to sleep, while some were just rock on!!

Conclusion: I named this review 'Mountain and Valleys' Kind of Drama because it was just up and down- sometimes going uphill, sometimes just traveling on a plane, sometimes going downhill. It is good if you are just looking for something to watch for time-pass or during a boring lecture (secretly; don't get caught!!)
