Drama Digest:

This drama was produced to understand the disabled better. Sang Doo and Bit Na are childhood friends and study in school together. Sang Doo has a learning disability. When a school group project comes along, Sang Doo and Bit Na form a group of four people for the project. The project is to make a vlog about any content of genre and the group finally decides on the idea to make a vlog about a day in Sang Doo’s life. As Sang Doo and Bit Na plan their project, we get a deeper look into their lives, and along with their classmates, we understand how Song Doo is slightly more different than how everyone is different, and his disability doesn’t make him stand out all alone.

The Feel-Good Part:

This movie comes with a very sweet message and gives a better understanding of people with disabilities. The message comes through very clearly and spreads awareness. The representation of a class, and how they interact is very accurate and relatable. This drama manages to show how disabilities incorporate into the daily life of the person and the people around them.

The Disappointing Factor:

While it is a very well-made drama, the lack of the backstory between the main characters is visible. They manage to give a good look at how they were as children but they could’ve shown more of that and how they became friends. That would have added more to the friendship between them.

In-Depth Analysis:

This drama is about understanding people with disabilities better, and it conveys that very well. It manages to show Song Doo’s world but doesn’t focus too much on him so that he stands out. There’s a good blend of arcs, including the other characters, which gives the show a better angle, without focusing too much on the disability but the person with the disability. The music in this drama is so touching, and it fits the scenes perfectly. The writing is clever and natural and doesn’t miss a beat about teenagers. The show explores different themes as well. The production quality is great and it’s a good and positive watch.

Star Power:

While the cast has very popular celebrities, the performance by every actor is so good. They portray their characters very naturally, making the movie more enjoyable and smarter. The main characters have really good chemistry and are flawless with their performances.

Overall Opinion:

It is a great movie with a great message that doesn’t restrict itself to the disability but views it on a wider basis, among peers and other people. It’s a wholesome, emotional, and feel-good show that is perfect in every way. It is a great watch and highly recommended.
