After almost half a year this drama is finally over, so here comes a very honest review from and INSPIRIT, who was not fully satisfied.
When this drama started I was totally excited about and anticipated every episode and at the very beginning it was absolutely perfect. The plot was rather fresh for a high school drama, it was funny and had small bits of action. I recommended it to my friends and waited for great things to happen. And then, quite rapidly, it went downhill in to an abyss so deep, dark and filled with echoing question of "WHY" it's hard to put in words.
If the beginning was good, quite logical and fun, than the further it got the less sense it made. Plot got twisted up between unreasonable amounts of very random, not really plot-relevant school/teacher problems and lost the original idea. The main romance line went overly cliche, desperately dependent and possessive ruining the vibe of nice high school relationship. Characters that were cool, calm and reasonable went bipolar, mean, unreasonable, even violent. It seemed that for last 4-5 episodes the main focus was random bromance in different couples rather than actual plot development.
Everything got so twisted, so turned and tossed it was hard to sit through some extra cringe worthy episodes, which were not saved even by the rather good acting.
Nam WooHyun did a good job. He definitely grew and improved throughout the drama as he wasn't very convincing at the very beginning. Lee SungYeol on the other hand was convincing through and through and I hope he will get more serious acting offers after this. Also Saeron did and awesome job and she will definitely grow up to be one of Korea's most loved actresses like Shin MinAh, for example.
Yet, as said before, the great cast (the bullies, angel sunbae and other students included), could do very little to save something that went from great to, to my mind, a crashing plane.
If I recommended it at the beginning, then now, after it has finally ended, I would honestly not recommend. Watching because of few good episodes or because of INFINITE members is not good enough reason to go through it. but it's all up to you.
