It seems like the budget was really low and that might have been one of the reasons why the ratings were so low. This drama is not as pretty and polished as others I've watched. The plot was okay, a bit similar to You Are Beautiful but there was less emphasis on the love story and more on friendship and band things. I liked the cast and the fact that the main girl was actually boyish and strong and not some whiny heroine! Comedy in the show is awesome, especially in the first half of the show. But as usual the second half gets a bit boring. The most annoying thing about this drama was that "the world" aka settings were so one dimensional. There was this small company with like 5 people working there? Everything happened within this company and there was pretty little interaction with the outside world, except a flower shop and a few guys from the rival company. What I'm trying to say the settings felt really artificial and unreal. Like the characters were cut from the outside world and lived in their own little realm. As a good note the usual "plastic" superficial feeling I get when watching teenage dramas like Dream High and You Are Beautiful is missing. You know, looks pretty but doesn't have a soul? I feel like those high budget dramas are too polished and artificial, like a face after plastic surgery. This one has a gruff charm to it, and I'd really suggest watching this drama rather than You Are Beautiful. This show is entertaining, funny and doesn't really drag much. As many people mentioned already the ending is pretty bad due to 16 episodes being cut to 14. There are a lot of loose ends but you can assume the results so it's not that bad, it's just that the show has an unfinished feeling to it. And the last episode is super rushed, they could have wrapped it up better without making it feel so rushed... but I think the team lost its hopes on the drama and gave up halfway or something... Anyway, an interesting show if you like the genre, if you are not much into cross dressing comedy then this show doesn't have much to offer for you.
