Favorite show of all time.
What makes the show stand out is its precise blend of drama, humor, and romance. It takes familiar tropes-rivalries, love triangles, family secrets-but somehow makes every moment feel authentic and full of emotion. It treats the characters' conflicts seriously, gives them real depth, and isn't afraid to go to darker, more painful places.
The characters are probably the best part of the show. Each one feels alive and real, with development that unfolds organically. Even the more "villainous" characters get human moments, and even the heroes make mistakes, which makes everyone compelling and believable. The chemistry between the actors is so good, it makes every scene feel completely natural.
It's one of those rare shows that actually gives you euphoria-it pulls you in so deeply that you forget reality for a moment. You feel the butterflies when Ninet and Ran meet, the tension when enemies plot, the heartbreak when characters fall apart. There's no other show that captures that feeling , a mix of nostalgia, intense drama, and an inexplicable magic that makes every moment feel larger than life.
And the music-oh, the music.
The songs are an inseparable part of the story. They say what the characters can't. And Ninet's cover of Hopelessly Devoted to You? Easily one of the best covers ever.
But what makes it even more special, for me, is that it wasn't just fiction. I ended up truly admiring people I discovered through the show. I saw Ran perform live so many times I lost count, and I even got the chance to meet Ninet and talk to her-a moment I'll never forget. The show didn't just stay on the screen. It became part of my life.
(The first time I watched it, I was in sixth grade.)
