About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, music-tinged school drama about finding your voice, with a touch of fairy-tale flavor, similar in mood to Given; Not for you if you need fast pacing or big fantasy stakes.
Pros: heartfelt premise; strong music moments; pretty visuals | Cons: slow pacing; uneven fantasy element; romance may feel flat
