Bears the "School" in its title, but not really a "School franchise"
This show reminded me of True Beauty more than any "School franchise" show . Overly done Love Triangle , Weak School Corruption Portrayal and no bullying. So its gives an upcoming-teen-romance more than a School vibe
I can understand why the writers shy away from Bullying ; as they don't controversy after what happened to shows like Dear M in 2020 ; but they didn't invest well on the teachers as well as they are mostly One-dimensional bad or good except for Lee Kang Hoon who was always good but tried to be bad or unfazed but had to be good again.
The only good thing in this drama - ACTING. They pulled in some great rookie actors so that’s a plus point! Some of the main actors definitely needs improvement in the first few episodes, and they really did improved throughout the series. Hwang Bo Reum Byeol caught my attention since the beginning, and she has the most solid acting among all young actors. Next to her is Cho Yi Hyun, and I also saw Yoon Yi Reh's potential. The others did a little bit below average to average, but I think it's okay, and most of them have potential too tbh. Special mention to Kim Yo-Han ; who had the worst character in the show but his expressions of nonchallance, laziness , fazed , sadness , innocence and awkwardness were express and what made the chemistry with Yi Hyun ( who also has most expressive eye ; yes she can pull off a Zombie , Zombie-Intern and a cute High School girl).
Overall
My One-Liner reviews :
"You don't have to be the best in everything you do. What's important is whether you're truly happy doing whatever you do."
"Skills matter but storytelling overtakes skills."
"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Also, every action has a hidden reason too."
