To be honest, I don't understand why this drama got high reviews. Pretty much everything I've seen in it is quite lackluster.
Casting was the biggest problem for me. While the supporting characters are pretty good considering they are from a band, the main role seems to have been given to the wrong person. While I appreciate he fit the agenda of being cute, they should have picked a more 'fired up' person to play his role.
You can see from the first few episodes that he is supposed to be a character who is a bit of a hothead, this is even said by his love interest (who is actually a pretty good actor), but he just seemed a bit wispy to me, with way too many long pauses, awkward silences and a failure to have good facial expressions. I feel like any of the actors playing the supporting roles could have taken on the main role as all of them seemed to have the right energy for it.
I'm actually a bit mad at myself because I spent a whole day watching 8 episodes trying to give this drama some hope, but instead ended up with a day wasted. For someone like me whose drama pet peeve is awkward acting, this just wasn't it.
This review probably sounds like it is made sorely for attacking the main lead, but I can appreciate some of the drama's good points as well. My favourite thing about it was the secondary relationship between two of the supporting characters, because they actually seemed natural and it's a shame I couldn't see their relationship develop more.
Overall, I think this drama could've have potential if not for the bad casting and somewhat drawn out story. Don't waste your time by watching all the episodes, each around 40 minutes long, that could, to be honest be condensed into 20-30 mins.
