Laibeu On

Korean Drama "Live On" had an interesting prompt for the story, but somehow it ended up being boring.

The one thing that, at least for me, was off was the fact that the characters, well, most of them, acted like adults rather than teenagers. They even presented their problems as being adult-like (see the second couple). Another thing was that the drama focused on the mystery that, in the end, was not well handled and didn't create the momentum that it was needed. Thus, the drama left out a lot of the other plot lines that were added here and there, like the family drama of the main characters.

Other than that, the performances were really good from everyone in the cast. The settings and the broadcasting club idea were original, fresh and a nice touch.

So, overall, four out of ten.

I found this show both frustrating and strangely addictive. The pacing is a bit uneven, some moments drag, and the plot isn't exactly groundbreaking-but there's something about it that kept me watching. And that something is the female lead, Jung Da-bin.

She's a total puzzle. Sassy, rude, overly dramatic, sometimes even a brat-but somehow, she's still ridiculously charming. Even when she's being difficult, you just get her. She carries the entire show on her shoulders in my opinion, making it way more entertaining than it has any right to be.

Then there's the male lead-shy, reserved, the complete opposite of her chaos. Their dynamic shouldn't work, but it does. It's that classic push-and-pull, opposites-attract kind of thing, and honestly, I ate it up.

Would I say this is a must-watch? Not really. But if you like a high school drama where the main girl has way too much attitude and the main guy just awkwardly goes along with it, Live On might surprise you.

It's such a short, light hearted, nice drama. The post burns slowly, so you can keep up with the characters as they develop from episode to episode. The plot was also quite interesting. Summing up, it's do easy to watch, a great drama if you want something not too "exhausting" of action, but also not boring.

To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first when I realized that this show only has 8 episodes because I don't like too fast-paced stories.

Surprisingly, despite the low number of total episodes, the story never felt too rushed. As a result, the main couple doesn't reach the level of "total lovebirds" as couples in other dramas or the super adorable second lead couple of this show, but that's ok.

In the end, I loved pretty much everything about it - from the cast to the characters, the soundtrack, the message of this show and the warmth I've felt throughout the whole drama thanks to the amazing friendships depicted in it.

The only reason I removed one star is because the plot itself isn't totally new and a little predictable.

However, I've never felt like this show was missing something and although the plot is predictable, I was never bored because it was fun to watch all the character and relationship developments. The fact that the perpetrator of the anonymous messages isn't revealed until the last third of the show adds some suspense to the drama.

Conclusion: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this show.

This is another highschool love story drama but it's really fun to watch! i like the characters esp the second lead couple they're so cute! ho rang's backstory is kinda predictable but still interesting. their developments are good too! and it only has 8 eps so it's pretty fast-paced. overall it's good and it's better than many highschool dramas so!
