Summary

This drama starts off with the melodic voice of Min Se Yi (Han Yeon Soo) transitioning into the concert band "Man in Black" where we immediately see Yoon Seol Chan (Yong Joon Hyung) as they are both singing and playing the same song. At this point Se Yi, goes off to her new school where she is given the most unexpected welcoming. 

Se Yi is a transfer student from New Zealand, on her way to class- she bumps into Seol Chan and an actress. Basically they get into a huge misunderstanding where Se Yi has her phone taken away from her.  (At this point the relationship between Se Yi and Seol Chan begins >:D) 

Seol Chan is like a magnet for making trouble- he accidentally slaps a girl in the face after being forced to kiss the student. Especially living in the generation of internet and digital technology- nasty rumours and comments regarding this incident spread like wild fire!

According to his manager, the only way to subdue these rumours about him and to not ruin his career is for Seol Chan to regularly attend school- in this way it will show his commitment and his sincerity towards the girl student and towards everyone in the Highschool.

Also meeting for the first time is her class president- Jung Sun Woo (Kang Ha Neul)
The story goes from there at this point- personal and relationship conflicts and that whole package that comes with Highschool lol.

Response
Min Se Yi
I think I really like her character the best. She is so calm and collective, very sweet and not to mention very cute aha! She is like your typical girl next door kind of person. You can tell in the first episode that at first she is a little shy and timid, but is not afraid to talk. 
This is the first time I've seen Yeon Soo act and i feel that she does a very good job at executing her role.


The beginning of the series presented a warm and calm ambiance for viewers. Where this soon transitions in to very energetic upbeat and active by Joon Hyung. I personally think that this drama didn't have much to offer- it didnt necessarily have anything unique other than the young famous KPOP stars. This drama really reminded me of alot of other Highschool based shows (Dream High, To the Beautiful You, High Jump etc)

Each of the characters you will see will face many great hardships, that are often ignored in actualy educational institutions. I guess in a way this drama is very different- it displays the many challenges the students go through (not to mention all the stress). It's very uplifting to the spirits while at the same time adds inthere a little cute love story. 
Don't get me wrong the drama series is mainly based on the relationship between two students but, the side stories would be the the other characters issues and concerns. 

As for the relationship between Se Yi and Seol Chan - i would think that its pretty cute. This situation is done so many times but it never gets old for me LOL. the sweet innocent, but very firm Se Yi and the cold hearted, cocky Seol Chan ahaha oh man.

Here's the Trailer for you guys ! ;D

**BOTTOM LINE***
If you like Hana Kimi, Dream High, Mischievous Kiss (Korean) and you can never get bored of Highschool love stories and  you love KPOP stars ! LOL then THIS IS THE DRAMA SERIES FOR YOU!

Thats it for my review ! stay tuned for:

Cheers !
