Live On (2020)

won't regret watching it!!

I didn't think I'd ever write a review but here I am! I love the setting, the characters, actors, story, everything! I watched it because the uniforms are on the Zepeto app and they're so cute! Yet I started watching it very suddenly without knowing much about it, even the fact that it has only 8 episodes! The characters are so well thought out and not just cardboard cutouts which can be replaced. Also I love watching more recent school dramas because it seems more relatable that they use phones so much haha. There's only one thing I don't understand and that is people don't believe things so easily, I had thought that she'd have to provide proof (don't worry it's not a spoiler!) The re-watch value that I've provided doesn't really mean anything because I hate re-watching everything so ignore it. I wish I would write more for my first review but I think that this all you need to know, so jump right in and start watching it!

it was refreshing to watch a bright, modern day school drama. the plot was great overall, and baek ho rang's character development was very prominent throughout the whole plot. i also liked how the school lectures were somehow connected to the students' situations at the moment. growth and progression was clear throughout the plot and each character. what's also different about this drama was the inclusion of social media. it contributed to the modern day aspect of the story and helps show what student life is like nowadays. showing the wide use of social media makes the drama relevant to today's world. i feel like the theme of anti school violence could have been discussed more, but overall, i'd highly recommend this drama to anyone who's looking for a modern day high school drama. MOAs will enjoy TXT's ost and yeonjun's cameo hehe.

Came for the OST, stayed for all of it!

I came to this drama because of BIBI's OST but stayed for the storyline! What an amazing, to the point drama, there wasn't a moment where I had to fast-forward. Her anxiety is portrayed so well and the OST is mixed so well into the editing! The romance was the right amount of affection and reality. Not cringy at all but heart fluttering. I've watched many high production dramas and wouldn't say this one is an expensive high production drama BUT that makes it even better. The aesthetic of the scenes and the way the editor makes you feel the emotions is amazing. The acting was perfectly realistic. The hurt was so real that every time someone cried I was so captivated. I never write notes or reviews but this drama suddenly means a lot to me. The song 'Naan' or '난' fits the story really well and BIBI passed the message from the main character perfectly in the singing. I never said this before, and probably won't for a while but, this is my favorite drama in 5/6 years of watching these. Good job :)

Not bad but not good

Before I dive in, here are some things I want to stress about a 10/10 drama for me. It has to be captivating from beginning to end; it has to have a high rewatch value; it has to not have a part where I want to spam the "skip 10 seconds "button.

The storyline of this drama was ok. It was a typical love story, but the message behind the female lead, Baek Horang, was nice. Typical of a webdrama. It seemed like they rushed the side character's love story; the side character's love story didn't really play a part in the storyline at all. Some characters just had no contributions whatsoever.

As for the cast, you can say that the visuals are AMAZING! There were three idols actors- Hwang Min Hyun (former Wanna One member and Nu'est member), Byung Chan (Victon), and Yeonwoo (Momoland). Yeonjun from TXT also starred as Ji So Hyun's ex. At first, I didn't expect much except visuals but they each fitted the character so well. However, the chemistry and body language between the two leads was kinda off and uncomfortable for the viewer. On a good note, Byun Chan really portrayed his role to the tea. I felt mixed signals from Sohyun regarding her ex and her current interest. Jae Yi and her boyfriend's relationship was just all over the place.

I would reccomend FOR A WEBDRAMA. But overall, I would NOT recommend this title.

A Good Romance Drama

I didn't have much expectation from this because this was first time I was seeing most of the cast. But damn I am really surprised.

Story: This was a good story but I was kinda disappointed with the revelation like the build up was like it was gonna be some huge drama. And also the whole culprit was surprising.

Cast: this was my first time watching all of them. The cast did a good job especially the main leads. Dabin and Minhyun did a good job. The chemistry between them was amazing and the rest of the cast was also so good. The Actor who played Yushin really stole my heart. His smile and the way he literally turned into this scary guy was so cool.

Music : I am in love with the music. It was so catchy and went well with the drama and its also so much fun to hear it regularly.

If you want a story, romance or sense : you can skip this show (I'm serious)

I am extremely disappointed. This drama makes no sense. The characters are really empty.. the main story is incomprehensible: a popular girl became a bully because she was harassed? she also wants to hide her secret because she is afraid of being rejected by her friends?? Honestly, the only reason for my rating are the secondary characters who are super interesting. The main character is unbearable: she talks badly to everyone, she's hyper aggressive and she's not very well acted. The dialogues are also really bad...it's embarrassing. It was very hard to finish it.
Spoiler take care :
The bad guy is a girl that the main character just met once

Truly beautiful

First I just want to point out how this show really hits home, I've been bullied before ( not to her extent) but I remember how much fear and anxiety I went through to convince myself I would be okay if I went back to school. And how I cared so much about how I was viewed in the eyes of other people. The FL is so strong despite what people might say about her being soft because HAVING FEAR IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS, FEAR HELPS US GROW. I could also relate with how the FL didn't want to be pitied, it feels AWFUL. The story was great, even the main antagonists hate was sensible. If you think about it, the origin of her hate is not centered around her being ignored. Its the fact that she was OBSESSED with everyone else's view of her, the fact that she and the FL were similar but somehow weren't on the same level made it easy for her to think, why her and not me? How are we so different? These thoughts also made it possible for her to target her hate at the FL. I especially liked how this show was realistic with how people react the moment they here something juicy ( gossip worthy) whether they have proper evidence or not, they just go with it. Now ain't that the truth! I loved how the ML was understanding to a certain POINT. What I mean by that is, when everyone was talking bad about her, there were points where he would just not have an opinion on it because he didn't hear her side. We all know that this can only last for so long because nobody can truly stay neutral and not get fed up with being kept from the truth. To summarize I loved how human they made him and didn't make it the type of romance show where people would have unrealistic reactions, especially ones that didn't fit their characters. ONE MORE POINT, I will make is THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT especially with the side character couple, it truly gave off the message that relationships only work with COMMUNICATION and COMPROMISE, obviously not everything will ever be perfect in a relationship and when their are problems its never only ONE PERSON THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED...BOTH can make changes and I completely agreed with that message. I don't really know how to RATE acting so I just gave it a 10 because yes. LOL. I LOOOOVED the music, the main OST is Light from TXT. There was another song in the drama that was in english that I also loved but I don't know the name of, but that song just set the mood. If you're still reading this give it a watch, its amazing, its fulfilling, its just great. I HAVE NO WORDS. ( clearly I do but shh :) )
