Lovelyz: 2017 Season's Greetings Review

I'm quite late to this, but I've finally opened my Lovelyz 2017 Season's Greetings! This is Lovelyz' first season's greetings. I purchased this in April at Choice Music, which I blogged about here. Below I'll unbox this season's greetings.
The packaging is like Infinite's and Lovelyz' previous season's greetings boxes, similar to a cardboard pizza box. There is a summer backyard theme, with various icons patterned across the exterior packaging. The center also lists the contents: calendar, diary, diary cover, making DVD, and style deco sticker.
The bottom of the box also has the same pattern, and the holographic Woollim sticker on the bottom. This exterior box has dimensions 12.25" by 9.1875" by 0.6875".
Opening the flap reveals the desk calendar on top.
Underneath the desk calendar are the alternate diary covers.
Then the diary is secured in its cardboard packaging.
And at the very bottom is the DVD.
Here is the diary.
The diary comes with a removable clear plastic outer layer where you can change the cover design.
The set comes with five different designs; one has a group image as the front cover and the summer pattern as the back cover, and the remaining four designs have individual member images. This season's greetings has two photoshoots that look very similar; all the images on the alternate covers are from the sweater photoshoot.
It's a tight fit, but here's how the diary looks with the group photo.
Here's how the diary looks like without the removable cover. The diary without the cover is about 5.125" by 7.5" by 0.5". There are 200 pages.
The diary begins with the 2017 and 2018 calendars, with highlights to the members' birthdays and the group's anniversary.
Next is a group picture from the loose shirts photoshoot.
This diary is filled with blank monthly calendars, blank weekly calendars, lined paper, blank paper, and graph paper. In between each section are two-page spreads of two members' individual photos in random order, all from the sweater photoshoot.
The summer concept is so soft and cute.
At the end is a group photo from the sweater photoshoot.
Here is the paper envelope that contains the making DVD.
And here is the design of the DVD. The making DVD is for all regions, is 13 minutes and 20 seconds long, and there are Korean subs at the bottom. Majority of the content is each member sharing their bucket list for 2017, as well as the behind the scenes of the photoshoots. The entire format flowed really well; it is split up into Jin, Kei, Sujeong and Mijoo for the first half and Yein, Jisoo, Jiae, and Babysoul for the second half. Before each half is the BTS of their subgroup photoshoot, then a member's individual photoshoot, then that member shares her bucket list with the other three girls. It ends with BTS of the group photoshoots and a group ment.
The desk calendar, deco stickers, and a calendar sheet (unsure of the official name) came in a sealed plastic bag. The yellow sheet contains clear circle stickers you can use to mark special dates on the desk calendar.
The deco sticker sheet has member name and photo stickers, group stickers, and random doodle stickers matching the summer theme.
One side of the calendar sheet contains global holiday dates for China, Japan, the US, and Taiwan.
The other side of the calendar sheet contains the members' printed messages and autographs.
And lastly is the desk calendar, with the first page being a group photo from the loose shirts shoot.
The backside of the desk calendar is made of a thick cardboard and is a light pink. Standing up, the calendar is about 11.25" tall, the width is 8.75", and the base is about 3".
Similar to the diary, there is a page showing the 2017 calendar, along with the members' birth dates and Lovelyz' anniversary.
The following page has individual shots of the girls from the loose shirt shoot.
Next are the monthly calendar pages. Each member gets one month in random order. Each month gets one photo from each shoot. One side has the calendar displayed in one line at the bottom.
The other side has the calendar displayed in a weekly format on the top corner. This is such a cute photo of Jisoo, and so refreshing for their summery concept!
I love how soft these photoshoots are, especially for Jin's photos.
Jin is so adorable with that giant teddy bear!
Jiae fits this concept so well, especially with her cute pigtails.
Here's the other side of Jiae's month.
There are also four months where the photos are of pairs. Photos for February and May are all from the sweater shoot. Here's May.
And here's the other side of May.
Photos from September and December are all from the loose clothes shoot. Here's September. The indoor tepee is really cute.
Here's the other side of September. This indoor shoot looks like a PB Teen catalog shoot, very minimalist and clean.
The last page has the cute summery design again.

Overall, I really like this season's greetings! The various diary covers are a fun way to change things up, and I love the fresh and fun concept of the calendar. I'm happy to have Lovelyz' first season's greetings to display!
