Revolutionary

This drama was nothing short of revolutionary, as someone who grew up in an Asian country and has seen the effects of what undue pressure from adults about grades and careers can do to children. The best thing about this drama was how life-like and realistic the characters and their portrayal by the actors was. There were no black and white, evil and good characters in this show and that made their actions less predictable and their stories more interesting. The OST was eerily perfect for the mood and vibe this drama was going for. And the sets were beautiful, along with the cinematography and direction.

Contrary to popular opinion, I liked the ending. The show not just managed to wind up all plot points and lose ends without dwelling on any single one for too long but also managed to assuage all the emotions it had invoked, in the last ep. Just the corny part about glorifying Uju dropping out of HS to discover himself could have been taken to a different direction, as this show had never blatantly shunned the prospect of education itself in the last 19 eps but seemed to do so at the very end, it just seemed a little trendy. Other than that, perfect storyline and acting.
