This drama could have been so much more...the synopsis and main idea were so intriguing! I feel like it was wasted. Would I recommend this? If you're bored and have nothing better to watch, sure, go ahead and be my guest. If you like modern romances with a fantasy twist, something along the lines of "You Who Came From The Stars" but a lesser version, then you'd like this.

I know, I know. My rating for this show is set at mediocre, even though I sorta enjoyed the drama. Why so low, you might ask? Here are my reasons:

1) The plot; holy shit were there plot holes everywhere. First off, the plot sorta dragged halfway through the show but really picked up momentum toward the end. Now and again, the story was so good, then it would take a weird ass u-turn or a sharp left and have oddly sweet moments, unnecessary flashbacks, or a "big" reveal that was pretty fucking obvious. So many questions with no practical answer. I mean, why weren't loose ends and certain things taken care of years ago so it can't be traced? And the reason for them living together just didn't make sense to me. He's suddenly fucking rich so why can't he just buy a damn house and live in it himself if he's so "used" to being alone? Whatever.

2) The silly acting and the voice dubbing; sometimes, the silliness was endearing and funny, reeling me into the show, and other times it threw me off and made me roll my eyes in annoyance. I mean, who the fuck laughs like that?

3) The characters and cast; the main actress had good facial reactions and I loved the main heroine in the beginning. She had some good, and sometimes hilarious, moments, but then annoyingly became a damsel in distress just so the emotionless, handsome, super hero main dude can show off his powers. Ugh. The Spock and The Loud One/Damsel-in-distress character tropes that are used way too often took over. Besides the cute dimples the main actor occasionally treated us to during the 'aww' moments, his character and background story wasn't really fascinating, either. Oh, and when I say show powers, I mean the camera tilting away and no real action is actually seen. You'd think a super hero with lots of strength, fighting skills, and speed could do a few cool stunts and show the audience some fighting sequence but nope. Good luck finding action in this film. The stories and character developments for the supporting actors and actresses were shit besides the antagonist. Cool character there; pretty real. YEAH RIGHT! If you're evil, be fucken evil. Or be crazy evil. The schemes the antagonist comes up with to entice the good guys was just child's play. My six year old little angel of a cousin could think of more evil methods and actions than the antagonist.

4) The ending; when I finally reached the ending, "finally" was the thought that flashed through my head. And then it ended in such a piece-of-shit sort of way. Like, WTH? It was so abrupt. I know the writers and directors did that to set the story up for the second season, which will be released some time in 2018 with totally different leads, but it still pissed me off that it ended like that. It could have been edited in a better way or concluded a little.

Anyway, regardless of the reasons I stated above, I guess I enjoyed it. It's one of those shows that doesn't necessarily require your full attention to watch and can be played in the background while finishing up other chores.

A typical school drama with lighthearted romance. Riddled with overused cliches and tropes, the only things interesting about Click Your Heart were the teachers in the first episode and the format in which the drama was presented: somewhat like an interactive game. I love the teachers. Besides that, the acting, the storyline, the cast, and just about everything else was cute and decent. Nothing really new was presented. It's a drama that is easily forgotten and can be watched to pass the time.

The drama gives a  decent introduction to the boy band, SF9, and offers good exposure to AOA's Mina.

This was okay. I really wanted to love this film. Honestly, I did. Fantasy and action genres are right up my alley, but this film was just a big ravaging mess. See what I did there? Anyway, this movie was made more for people who've read the story; not for uninformed individuals. Anyone searching for a beautifully animated action film to watch would like this, but put it on hold if a concrete plot-line is what you're looking for.

The characters, cinematography/animation design, and landscape were all beautiful and wonderfully done. I absolutely loved the expressions of the characters, making them lovable and believable. The costumes, magic, monsters, and landscapes were awesome, although not anything new. The musical score seemed almost nonexistent; besides the theme song, which had multiple versions sung by different artists, whatever melody was played throughout the movie was not memorable at all. The major drawback of this film is the story, particularly how it was told. It might have been the translation/subtitles that threw me off and didn't explain the story well, but I want to blame it on the directing style. The beginning and middle were interesting. At times a solid, linear story was given, then confusing, but still very compelling, subplots and foreshadowing were thrown randomly into the mix. A fast-forwarding time skip (at least that's what it felt like to me) happened and suddenly the main characters and ambiguous new characters are in an epic battle with awesome beasts. Sides are drawn, and strange and unnecessary sacrifices were made as characters try to explain their actions, but a big blob of a cliffhanger is what is left at the end. It had so much potential, but the main plot was not revealed in a very detailed and clear manner, and a few subplots were thrown in there that left a lot of unanswered questions.

I just hope that a second film will follow involving more world building, character history, and relationship insight that will answer most, if not all, the questions that rose in this film.

Handsome men to ogle? Check. Cliche, but still cringe-worthily cute and romantic? Check. A funny, relatable actress? Check. Short, fast-paced stories that don't waste hours of your life and take 120 episodes, or even 10, to reach the epic climax only to end in hair-pulling finales? Check.

A drama-like advertisement for Lotte Duty Free Shop, Seven First Kisses is fun to watch without investing too much time and heart. Seriously, almost no time was wasted on these 5 minute videos. All this "drama" did was give me some extra minutes of screen-time with handsome men.

A bit of slice of life and romance spun into one, this drama offers unique, yet relatable characters that are enjoyable to watch as they go about their daily lives. The storyline was solid and the pace was perfect. Chemistry between the couples were also great. Fans of Lee Min Ki, Jung So Min, Esom, and the other cast members who also like the romance genre will surely love this one.  

Blah, blah, blah. I can go on about this drama sounding like an infomercial, but that will be boring. JUST WATCH THIS! YOU'LL SURELY LOVE IT. Come on! It stars Lee Min Ki. LEE MIN KI! Enough said! Muahahahaha...anyone reading this can surely tell I'm a LMK fan. Jung So Min, Esom, Kim Min Seok, and Kim Ga Eun are also awesome actors. AND Kim Min Kyu with his adorable dimples.

Anyway, I really digressed there. This drama is a must-watch.
