Review
Contains a lot of spoilers!
Story: 9.5/10
The plot and story to this drama was adorable. Because, in total, it only came to about an hour and 20 minutes, it didn't mess around and got right into it. It started with Kim Hye Rim liking a sunbae from her club, only to get heartbroken when that sunbae tries to take her to a motel (love hotel). After a few days, she goes to a concert with her roommate and best friend, Ga Young, and meets up with Lee Ki Kwang. Not too long afterwards, they start dating secretly. But soon, reporters find them and spread it across the world. Lee Ki Kwang acts cold and drives away from the reporters. Hye Rim is left heartbroken again, and Ki Kwang is upset about how he acted and cries. But after a month, they reconcile and start dating again. It's cute, and I love it. It's quite relatable, and I almost cried when Ki Kwang was crying in front of Hye Rim's house. Great, short drama to watch on Valentine's.
Characters: 10/10
Not much to say than the choice of actors was great. Lee Ki Kwang played himself and was very cute, adorkable and sweet. Kim Hye Rim was relatable and humorous. Great characters to know and love.
Visuals: 9.0/10
Again, there isn't much to say. There wasn't really many visuals in the drama besides the scene where Ki Kwang is sending his first text to Hye Rim after their first meeting since middle school. It was a great scene, nothing wrong with it. Besides that, there was nothing else. So, it was rated down for lack of visuals.
Music: 10/10
Great. I love how they included some of BEAST's songs (Lee Ki Kwang's real life band), and it was all nicely timed as well.
Final Verdict: 9.5/10
This is a definite must see, and it's great for Valentine's Day as well. It's only a miniseries, but it's awesome to watch. All you romance lovers out there, you must watch this or you'll be missing out on a whole lot!
