Genre: Sitcom, Romance

Review:
I’ve never attempted to watch a sitcom before, but seeing that Jaehwan from Vixx (Ken) was in a drama, it was my duty as a Starlight to watch it! I was really nervous about watching this drama, because sitcom isnt something that seemed like it would be my style, just like many romantic comdies aren’t really my thing either. However, I had seen a lot of gifs and photosets of this drama, obviously from running my blog, and there seemed to be some really cute scenes so I just new that I must watch it, even though I was scared at first…Jaehwan or not! The fact that this drama was filled to the brim with Idols was also another reason I was hesitant for this drama, though I know for a fact that DoHee can act, I still wasnt sure about the rest of the cast of youth. Everything about this drama seemed to make me nervous.
From body gags to laugh tracks a sitcom was exactly what I was expecting, something over the top and cheesy that really isnt my style. Boarding House 24 is full of those extreme jokes and gags that you would find yourself seeing on variety shows and gag concert, Korean humor which I get sometimes but the over the top stuff really isnt my style. This was far from anything I really was hoping for, and the acting as well wasnt the best. It kind of disappoint me through and through, HOWEVER I did find myself extremely entertained by it at the same time. Though I wanted a more serious drama, I did find myself laughing at the twelve episode long sitcom. It was kind of refreshing watching something that wasnt all the serious for once, and its strange how I actually found myself interested in it, when this type of thing usually turns me off. I guess I just wanted to stick with it because I knew about some the cute things that were going to happen.
Overall, its the type of show I can’t say I love, or would enjoy watching several times over, but I dont regret the experience at all. Sitcoms are something new to me, and its not really my taste and even though I really was disappointed with how over the top the show was, and how some of the jokes were rather lame, it made up for it with a lot of cuteness and some jokes that actually made me laugh. It was an experience and I cant dock it for that, its a show that I think a lot of people would enjoy watching..its just not my cup of tea. However, I did enjoy the 12 episodes as much as person like me could, and I think its defiantly worth giving a shot if you are mildly interested in it.
