Final Review so please don't read if you want to watch the show without any hint of what is to happen: I loved this show for 9 episodes. It was so beautiful that it was on track to be one of my top 3 shows of all time. I love LSK in everything and she was perfect here. And I was quite happy with LSY as co-lead. They worked so well together and in fact almost every relationship in this show was amazingly lovely. I loved the musical theater side story and the singing was incredibly beautiful. The OST was also great and fit and enhanced the scenes without intruding. Nice touches everywhere. The cast was perfect for every single role and the acting was remarkable with great performances across the board from our leads and everyone in this great extended cast. It was such a magical, charming, fun, funny, touching and spectacular show that I expected it to remain a favorite to the end. With already some of the most beautiful moments I've ever seen.

But then for some unknown reason the tone of the show changed dramatically and negatively in about episode 10. And I felt that the show totally lost its way. The writing and directing made terrible choices and the show became unpleasant and was no longer the bright, lovely and beautiful show I loved. Conflict and dramatic tension are expected and should be in every great show. But how they presented it and dealt with it felt wrong to me. All of the wonderful relationships and even the wonderful musical theater story fell apart. And looking back from the end, I felt that the show basically wasted six episodes with this change in tone. Sure the lovely, wonderful, beautiful characters remained right there just waiting for the writing and directing to let them come out again. And they did at times before the last episode and those moments were wonderful. But the writing never captured the magic of the first 9 episodes again. And I think that's tragic because they knew how to write and produce a perfect show and then just stopped doing what worked so well. The ending didn't make up for the lost episodes and in fact I found it to be pretty sappy and overly scripted. Everything was tied up in nice neat bows. It was fine and certainly left me with a better feeling than the six episodes before it. But I leave this show regretting that it didn't stay the brilliant and phenomenal show that I fell in love with. What should have been one of the 3 best shows of all time ended up below 10 stars.
