a slice of life drama, underdogs as main characters, and no comical villains.. I thought this would be one of my favorites.
not this time, as it turns out.

Early phases were really downer for me; all kinds of cliches kept stacking against our quartet and all during that time and as the series progresses they were always happy; kind of like oblivious of things happening outside of their group. And it always turned out fine. Bad thing happens, they keep being happy after a brief moment of sadness and voila, it was like it wasn't bad at all; a good result comes along.

it was pretty unrealistic in how we expect them to struggle in a given cliche situation vs the actual struggle on screen.

I liked the characters and costumes, but the story and progression seemed shaky at best.
