Reviews on Korean Dramas released from 2016 to date.
I watch them and rate them, so you get all the good stuff!
Beware of spoilers, you have been warned.
If there's something about a review that you don't agree with, it's okay because it's a matte...
Not to be confused with the kpop band with the same name subtracting the date, this drama is only 8 episodes long, and rather underrated in my opinion.
If you want to watch something sweet with a slice of life, something refreshing with a set of totally awesome actors, I recommend this drama to you.
I apologise in advance for all the graphics which are low quality, and I'm sorry for not being able to put as many graphics in this review as I normally do for all the other ones, simply because there wasn't much stuff out there for me to pick at.
However, let's get on with why you should watch this drama.
1. The drama stars CNBLUE's Jonghyun and Cosmic Girls' Bona. Both look simply adorable in this show and I've learnt that these two are incredible actors.

2. The whole drama is based on the lives of people living in Daegu, and the accent used by them is a refreshing change from the Seoul accent we're normally used to listening to in most dramas.
3. The show makers have paid a lot of attention to detail, making sure that every aspect of the characters' lives matches to what it may have been in 1979. Although similiar in concept to the Reply series, there are a lot of refreshing differences that make this show enjoyable.

Notice their skirts' lengths, the houses, everything has been kept in line with that era.

4. I absolutely loved almost everybody in this show, they all had their quirks.

5. I loved how they made the female lead relatable. She has insecurities just like every other girl her age, she gets jealous of people who get close to her crush, she's super awkward around boys, and she is also sometimes frustrating to watch when she makes stupid decisions, but that's just how we all are, isn't it?

6. The OST is incredible too, with foot-tapping beats and soothing yet cheerful melodies that enhance every emotion displayed onscreen.
So, is there anything I didn't like? Well, for one, I was initially not cool with the fact that there were only 8 episodes in this drama, but when it ended I changed my mind. The ending was beautiful, and everything wrapped up in the end, it was good that the show makers didn't try stretching it to the usual 16 episode length.

The last picture is a behind the scenes one, don't worry there are no cellphones in sight in the drama.
