Even though I extensively watch k-dramas, i was never into K-pop idols and the fan fever + the movie name sounded silly and kinda lame. But....I got clickbaited by the tiger. Otherwise I would have missed this gem of an artwork. Thank you Derpy!!!!! The intro song & the celebrated song by the girl band went over my head. But Soda Pop!!! Damn.. I got hooked and I was fully invested. What I am saying is, the effort and sheer amount of talent in the audio track of this movie is on another league. How fast they hooked a fresh ear to their rhythm!!! I have watched the movie in 3 different languages within a week. And the entire music album is permanently stuck in my head. My personal favorite is "this is what it sounds like" The animation is fresh and fun. The story is simple but strikes a chord deep down in your heart. Want to taste K Pop, but don't wanna commit much or spend a lot of time? - Watch Are you one among those cycle breakers? - Watch. The characters and song lyrics would feel like a warm hug.

When I saw the teaser, I thought its about some magical soul switching and I was gonna skip it. But this ended up being the most realistic drama I have ever watched. Each character is real and has their flaws. Noone changes 180° after they have realizations. Especially Miji and Mi Rae's mom. I really love how her character remains awkward with physical acts of love, yet cares about her daugthers in her own aloof way. Really love the soft pace of the drama which portray character development neither fast nor slow. Really appreciate how they didn't extend to 16 episodes and stretched with fillers. Miji and Hosu's chemistry is quite sweet. But their love theme sounds like Lovely Runner's theme song. But it doesnt matter. Love to see the actor playing Hosu's mom in a positive character. She is so cute. Really love how k-drama industry is discussing mental health themes in realistic manner (Dr Slump, Daily dose of Sunshine, Our unwritten Seoul)
