I first gotta say I am a HUGE fan of school dramas and had heard rave reviews about this one being one of the classics. And I can see why, if I had watched this years earlier when it came out, before all the other school dramas I've watched already.

With that being said, I don’t think anything in this drama really made it stand out from all the other school ones I’ve watched — it had pretty similar plot points and characters, most of which were the stereotypical bullies.

I also havesuch MIXED emotions about the ending! There was an extra special episode on Viki so I thought there were 17 episodes and by the end of 16 I was still thinking, yep, one more episode and everything can get wrapped up. Maybe I’m a fan of neat endings and wasn't emotionally ready for the bittersweet open-ended type. The more I think about it, the more I like it, but it still threw me off.

I also honestly really liked the pacing of the entire drama. There’s no single overarching plot with a climax and a resolution, it’s really all just about students trying to get through life (with a wee bit of baggage).

I'm not one to rewatch dramas, but this one might be a future one. And ultimately, I gotta say I’m surprised that all the guys really grew on me ( even if it took a while to get there) and Namsoon/Woobin friendship was so worth it.
