I took my time starting this as I’m not a Carat, and I often drop high school dramas once one or both leads becomes intolerable.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered this light-hearted, hilarious gem that perfectly matches my sense of humour and preferred stress and misunderstanding levels (low). The usual one dimensional side characters had their own depth and quirks, and the leads nailed the brief. Everything from the funny music to the breaking the 4th wall moments were great. The writing is way above what I usually see in similar shows. I never thought a teacher character would be one of my favourites.

Even though it’s been a little while since I finished this, one of my housemates is watching it for the first time right now and he’s laughing his head off, so it reminded me to write this review. Honestly, it’s not perfect but close enough; it certainly deserves way more than the 8.4 it’s currently on.
