Nostalgic and unforgettable.
I have waited a while before writing this review as I was never sure about what I thought about this drama. In certain ways it could be seen as terrible, specially if you only watch the first few episodes. However, around episode 10 the story just takes off, the acting improves, new soundtracks introduced, and suddenly you're up to episode 25 and finished. As a whole the characters are well rounded, they all have quirks, and they all get their time to shine. The different settings and landscapes within this drama are also quite diverse with lots of travel montages. I would say that this drama is a perfect slice of life for 2009, with a little bit of luck, and nostalgia.
As always, the soundtrack is always a make or break, and this soundtrack is superb. It is a great mix of 2009 pop and upbeat background instrumentals. The placement of the tracks is sometimes a bit random and felt out of place during the first few episodes. The track placement did however improve during later episodes. Some stand outs from the soundtrack would be 'Lucky' by Ashily, 'Love Is Fire' by KARA, and of course 'Stand By Me' by SHINee which is constantly playing.
Would I recommend this to anyone? Yes, it a good allrounder, acting can be bad at times, but overall worthwhile.
Would I watch this again? Yes, the characters are very relatable, and that attachment would only grow if you were to re-watch.
Would I listen to the soundtrack? Yes, this soundtrack is great, I listen to it constantly, no criticism here.
