I just wanted to watch this since it is the perfect length to watch for study breaks and I had run out of other web drama options.
This is the best mini/web/whatever drama I have watched for a while. I laughed and I cried, which I didn't expect going into it.
Don't expect an in-depth drama, that's pretty impossible within the time frame of shows like this. What this is instead is sweet and frothy fun. It knows what it is (a lot of EXO fanservice) but I didn't feel like it went overboard with that.
I have seen some pretty atrocious idol acting in the past, but this was a surprise given that the performances were pretty solid. It was campy, yes, but that''s fine, anyone who likes s'mores will tell you camping is fun.
The directing was good and the music wasn't just overblown EXO on repeat. I would happily re-watch this.
Again, DO NOT watch this is you expecting something that has layers and depth. I will use Suhan's character (lovingly called, "Suhan") and his love of coffee for an analogy:
Some dramas are short blacks, it is all coffee, but you have to take time to see the nuances of flavour in every cup. Then there's cappuccinos. The coffee flavour is diluted with milk or cream with lots of froth, but it is still delicious, just a different type of delicious. A cappuccino is what this drama is. Maybe even just the froth of a cappuccino, but that doesn't mean it's not drinkable!
I am saying these things because friends of mine put down this drama without even trying it as just fanservice fodder.
Also, Kwang Su and Suhan's bromance was so cute. The EXO members bromance with each other was cute.
I thank this drama from the bottom of my heart for easing my overloaded and wrung-out brain with ten-minute episodes of frothy-cappuccino fun.

This was the first adaptation of this that I watched, but have lined up the anime, manga and J-drama to sink into for comparison later.
While I was never racing to get to the next episode because I simply HAD to know what happened, I was OK with that, because this wasn't supposed to be a drama like that. I also liked that there was no concrete ending and it was just a continuation of the life they were already living.
This was my first Joo Won drama and I will be following his choices of role in the future since I thought he was excellent in this.
I am very grateful to this drama for breaking a slump I've had over the last month or so. So thanks, Cantabile Tomorrow!

I feel like this plot really could have done with being made into a drama instead, there was enough conflict to be explored through 16 episodes, or even a 10-episode web-drama would have been good. The acting was really engaging from Joo-Won and the rest. I'm not sure about Sulli since I haven't really seen her in much, but I thought she did OK.
One of my favourite films is Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World so I loved the styling of this film, but I felt it was quite jarring showing how bad the bullying was to the cartoon comedy. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to feel dark or fluffy so it ended up just being uncomfortable.
There were a lot of sub-plots that could been excellent in a drama, such as the "bad guy"'s daddy issues and the romance triangle being worked in more. That all could have been really fun, I feel like some of the material was a bit wasted in a movie an hour and a half long.
I definitely think this movie is worth watching, but comparatively it wasn't as great as other things I have watched. I thank it forever for introducing me to Joo Won though.

This was a cute, fun web drama. I liked the characters and the acting was good I thought. There were moments of subtlety throughout the series that I appreciated. Looking at it realistically, though, I wish the story had gone a different direction. While I liked most of this drama, it doesn't really emotionally grab you and most of the time when I watch a web drama I can't wait for the next installment, but with this one, I found I would wait a few days or so before going to the next episode.
The use of music in the show is nicely done and there was an episode that made me laugh out loud for the meta humour used.
The ending, I suppose is a foregone conclusion, and while I really liked the last sentiment sad by the characters, I think an alternative would have been better:
(SPOILER-Y! I will write it backwards so that there is less chance of being soiled, even though, come on? you didn't see it coming?)
Read this from the last word to the first for less spoiler-ness.

I did like it, just not as much as others. I would like to see Dara and Kang Seung Yoon in more projects though.

Basically the main actress shouts her way into having Stockholm Syndrome and falls in love with a guy who tried to have her sexually assaulted. He was jealous, controlling and vindictive and I just didn't get it.
The "But I changed him" thing doesn't work for me. I never saw the change, he's just beautiful.
I know that my main issue with this is not exactly this drama's fault, it is in the original manga, which I have also read in an attempt to understand the hype over this drama more. I also watched the J-drama version.
After all the tears and tantrums and chloroforming, I not only disliked the drama, but found it boring.
Maybe I would have liked this if it was the first K-drama I had ever watched to get me addicted, but it was actually the third after You From Another Star an Coffee Prince and comparatively, this was just terrible.
I did laugh ridiculously when "This must be Paaarrraaaadiiiiiiise" played out over Jun Pyo kicked the crap kicked out of him. Worst music choice ever for that moment.
This is just my opinion though, I can understand that there are elements that probably would draw in a captive audience, but for me the first few episodes made me irrevocably hate the male protagonist and that damage was never undone.
Send your brain on a marathon run before sitting down to this and you will have a great time.

Gong Yoo is just so adorable and you can't help but love him. Gong Hyo Jin as always does a fantastic job at making a real three-dimensional character come alive with layers and nuance.
This would be the drama I would recommend to people who have seen all the popular dramas out there and are looking for something good to sink into.
It isn't fluffy, but it isn't all over heavy either. It balances it's light and dark well and the romance keeps you coming back for more.
I would happily re-watch this a number of times and recommend it thoroughly.
