I just binged to ep 7 and are loving it. Its a refreshing drama that has a few stories within. The cast of 3 men who are drawn or taken to jeju Island to a bar named "Summer Guys". The owner Oh jin dal Rae* is trying to fix and clean up the bar as its peak season to open. Then the 3 show up and she gets them drunk and see her uncle and goes to yell at him for a broken popcorn machine then you hear a boom and the bar is on fire. She see the guys try to put it out, but her fear of fire she passes out upon waking she see the bar destroyed. She freaks out and starts yelling who did it and then notice woo Chan head is bleeding and he passes out.. At the hospital they agree to help her rebuild so Tae ho design the bar, woo Chan gives the supplies and Gwang bok is the strongest. Thru this they get to know each other, but all 3 are guys are falling in like for her as we learn the secrets behind each of them.
*Oh jin dal Rae: owner of bar/parents died in a car accident /explosion & fire becomes an orphan.
*Seon woo chan: was adopted by a wealthy family, was also at orphanage with dal Rae Has postcard she gave him
*Park gwang bok: Raised in an orphanage and came to die
*MaTae oh: served time in jail/working for the Yeom family trying to get her to sell the bar con artist
As the story continues the 3 guys slowing confress what brought them to "Summer Guys" and oh dalrei is OK except for MA tae oh who confress that he likes her and she tell him that he's a con artist and to get out. Woo Chan goes to find him and realized that he needed to care for his sick dad in hosp for 6yrs and gives him recipe for the fire drink. Then they are all sad as the contest is coming and they need Mae Tae oh help so each send him text to come back. The day of the event comes and they were up to fire professionals and were worried then they came out and they???. Of course I can't give away the happy ending you much watch?

Fun Watch!

I had fun watching this!

Story: It's about 3 boys who meet the owner of a bar in Jeju Island. Through the bar, they uncover secrets and help save the it. The story was interesting and I enjoyed watching it for the most part (I got a little bored at times). The main thing with the story is the inconsistencies. There are couple things that don't make sense or don't match what we've seen/been told. But it's a short drama so I understood to an extent.

Acting/Cast: I thought everyone did well! Especially considering most of them had acted in fewer and smaller roles before this.

Music: I loved it, especially the song that played at the end of every episode (Blue Eyes by Ron Tae Hyun & Yoon San <3)

Rewatch Value: I don't rewatch usually but if I did I wouldn't watch this one again because even though I enjoyed it, there was nothing super special about it.

I think this makes for a good summer watch or just a quick whenever watch!

Happy Watching!

Close to webdrama perfection

Please note that all the score is compared to full-length dramas. If it were just webdramas, I would give it an 8.5~

Let's start with the story. It had a fresh concept; I quite liked it because it was something never used before. As for the romance, the storyline there was typical. The one thing that pissed me off was the way they downplayed Jin Dal Ae's phobia; they have to learn that phobias aren't solved by exposure all at once.

Moving on to the cast, I most definitely watched it for Mina and Nayoung, and I most certainly stayed for them. Acting overall was meh; I felt like the casting director just casted whoever had the "looks." Mina didn't play her phobia exceptionally well or terrible. I have a love-hate relationship with Nayoung's rushed character development; I felt like Nayoung acted the best out of all the cast members though. As for Lee Jung Shin, his acting and character was probably the worst out of all. Every single second of screentime he had with the femae lead (which mind you, is a lot considering he's the male lead) was torture. As you can tell from the last sentence, I had HUGE second lead syndrome with Ma Tae Oh. He's much cuter, and his acting is a close second to Nayoung's. As for Viini, his role was like every other small role he played in other webdramas. I'm really glad that the writers decided to add a guest character near the end to satisfy both Tae Oh's and Viini character's love life though. P.S. Hyunjoo is the cutest :)

Overall, I would RECOMMEND as a webdrama!

All over the place just like this review. Fun to watch in between serious things.

This is a fast paced and fairly lighthearted show with short episodes. Perfect to fill time or watch while deciding what to watch next. It’s also great to play in the background as it doesn’t really need a lot of attention. I watched it in between two crime dramas and it makes a nice little palate cleanser.
The story is sorta of all over the place with tropes everywhere but it makes for a good laugh. The actors do pretty well with what they’re given and the aesthetics are amazing. The love triangle is complicated enough to make a web like some deranged detective obsessed with a cold case.
