It's a DRAMA with so much DRAMA and clichés but it does everything right. I was entertained and I was heartbroken and I swooned and I laughed and I sang and I remembered everyone at the end of it all. In a setting that could only happen in a Korean drama, there was so much heart and emotion in the storytelling and acting despite the predictable plot. Of course, people are put off the overused dynamics of the typical rich and mean kids bullying the poor girl shtick or the 1st world problems that only heirs and heiresses can understand, but I advise you to not take the circumstances seriously (laugh at them!) to enjoy this series. Instead look at the characters' hearts, their stories of love and their personal relationships, then you'll be thoroughly entertained. All the characters have a story that is revealed at a perfect discretion, keeping the viewer hooked.

I also want to spotlight the first episodes that take place in magical California, a fantasy-like place and a breath of fresh air for the poor FL to visit. The theme of living a dream carries through to the last episode giving it a perfect end in my humble opinion.

Lastly, the OST is unmatched and the lyrics captivate the essence of the characters and drama so very well.
