So I had seen a scene from this movie in a drama collab on youtube, and had desperately wanted to watch it, however I couldn't find the name of it anywhere. Unlike many of the other people I know who have watched this movie, instead of the bleached hair being a turn off for the movie, it only made me want to watch it more, so not knowing the name was horrible. Then I found a different scene of the movie in a different youtube video with the name written in the description! So I started watching this movie and at first I wasn't quite sure what to think about it. It seemed pretty similar to a lot of dramas I had watched and I was pretty sure it was going to follow the normal "high school love story" formula of a relationship roller coaster followed by happily ever after. Was I in for a surprise.

This movie is defiantly different from others I've scene and even though the music was pretty cliche for a drama movie, the casting was great the story was sad (if you're emotional like me you will cry). The one thing about this movie though is that it left me wanting more. Even though I really liked the ending, for me it's just missing something, which makes me constantly re-watch this movie and constantly think about it. However at least in my opinion, that's what makes a good movie. When it has you constantly thinking even long after you've watched it.

Koizora is sad, cute, and sweet. It is certainly aimed at girls, probably for high-school/college students, but I feel like anyone who just wants to watch a sweet love story and is in the mood for something a bit sadder then usual would really enjoy this movie.

So I'll start off by saying that this drama is 110% fluff and ridiculous cuteness...almost too much of it. It gave me the feel that I was watching a drama version of a fanfiction, (even though it is actually a drama version on a manga) So I'm not quite sure where to start, so I'll break it up into sections.

1) Story/Plot

I give this drama a lot of credit for the pure fact that it was a gender bender. Cliche and over used as that plot now is (Ouran, You're Beautiful, Hana Kimi and all of it's remakes) this was not a girl to boy crossover, but a much more rare boy to girl! I thought it was interesting how they pulled that off, and oh my gosh Sun Woong pulled off being a girl pretty well. (He reminded me a lot of Sungjong from Infinite) The story was okay, still cliche, but okay. I'm not supposed to write a summary here, so I'll just leave you with this plot line is extremely mushy and not trying to be sexist but "girly" But hey, I could totally see a boy watching this drama.

2) Acting/Cast/Characters

The characters themselves were actually adorable, but again, they've been done before.

There's Geurim, that random girl that for some reason gets put into a place with at least two hot guys. She will love a boy with all of her heart until as many girls do, will change her mind and fall for a completely different boy.

Taejoon, the extremely hot male that the main girl is obsessed with at first and of course, he shows no romantic interest to her at first because he likes another girl and as the role of dramaland states, he must get friend-zoned(Boys Over Flowers anyone???) And here's the plot twist.

Hyunwoo, the other extremely gorgeous male lead who is cold to the main girl lead at the beginning for some reason or another and will eventually develop feelings for her at some point as all cold male leads tend to do...is ALSO A FEMALE!!! He's Irene, the beautiful female that the other male lead loves. (You know that really annoying girl that you hate in every drama) And then just to avoid plot summaries "events happen" that I'm sure you can guess and the characters follow their respective roles that all drama character in EVERY romance drama plays.

So the characters are cliche...true, however the acting was pretty decent. For being 13, Kim So Hyun did fairly well, and the male leads were excellent. Sun Woong was a bit stiff at parts but hey, nobody is perfect, and for being fairly new in the acting business he wasn't bad. His looks make up for it.

The rest of the cast was great as well. Those random sasaeng fans of course came back in such a school driven drama, but the actors that played them played them well. That annoying reporter (reminded me of You're Beautiful) was present and I really liked the actor! He wasn't the best at acting and he wasn't the most noticeable character, but for some reason I loved him. Overall the cast worked well together. (If you've seen Real School, it was that kind of cast chemistry, not perfect but suitable for the drama)

3) Music

Nothing really notable. One song kept replaying for a good portion of the drama...I have no clue what it was called, but it was one of those songs that when you hear it you can sing the first line and then just listen to it and go "yep, that song is for this drama" I personally like those kind of songs, so that was nice. There is nothing worse then an unmemorable soundtrack because then what's the point of even adding music? There were A LOT of Kpop references (Big Bang was mentioned a lot, SNSD, and Wonder Girls) So I found it fun to be able to relate in that sense. Apparently the two male leads are in bands...cool. So yeah, the music wasn't outstanding but it was good enough that I thought it added a bit to the overall show.

4) Rewatch Value

Yes, I will definitely rewatch this drama at some point. The entire reason I watched this is because I'm on spring break and I wanted to watch something that wasn't overbearing. I wanted something light, fluffy, humorous, and a tad dramatic. That's what this is. It's short, sweet, and innocent. So if you want something that will just make you laugh, then this is great.

Sooo...yeah that's my little rant of this drama...hope you enjoy it if you choose to watch it ^^

I started watching this because it seemed like a nice short series to watch, and if that's what you're looking for it is. It was funny, cute, and just plain adorable. I loved the acting. I had never before seen a drama with Jung Ill Woo, even though I had heard great things about him, and was he was a terrific actor. In fact the acting overall was amazing. I loved the music because it was simple and cutesy which is what this entire drama was up to a point. I enjoyed the story, I liked the idea of where it was going, but towards the end I got disappointed.

Something so simple and cute went crazy and out of control (I call this the "Boys Before Flowers Effect" if you've ever seen that drama) Too much happened from what there was, and some of the characters disappointed me. The ending at least for me was rushed and sloppy compared to the rest of the drama which contained some excellent climaxes and was directed very well.

If you're looking for something simple and light to watch just for laughs or just because you have nothing else to watch, then I recommend it highly. If you are however looking for an intense, thought-provoking, rapid plot, this isn't something you should be watching right now, even though I do recommend it be watched at least once, just to experience the humor.
