Who Are You: School 2015

First of all, I loved the previous School Drama (School 2013) very much. So I decided to try this drama, too. Now I think my decision was right.

Story:
I like stories like this, because there is Mystery, friendship and (not too much) romance. I liked the plot when the drama was announced the first time. Two Sisters who grow up with two different lifes and a situation which changed both of them. Yes, I liked it very much.

Acting/Cast:
Honestly, I didn't know most of the Actors and Actresses before I began this Drama, but the three main Actors (Kim Sohyun, Nam Joohyuk, Yook Sungjae) I have known before. I liked Kim Sohyuns acting very much. She played the twins very well. I think it is difficult to play two different characters, but she surely did a great job. Nam Joohyuk plays the role of Go Eunbyuls (KSH) chindhood friend Han Yi an, who is a talented swimmer at his school. I think the rols suits him more than his role in 'Surplus Mermaid' last year. Yook Sungjae plays the other male Leadrole. I liked is acting, although I was sceptical before. I know him as the Maknae and a Vocal from BroB, so I wasn't sure if his acting yould impress me. But I was surprised. He did a very good work.

Music:
The Music is nice. I love the Song "Reset" and I like the OST from Wendy (Red Velvet), too.

I would watch this drama after a few months again^^.

This is actually the first K-drama that I watched. My sister introduced me to this world and suggested for me to watch Monstar, but I must have forgotten. I can't remember how I found this one, but I loved it.

The plot kind of took me by surprise as the connection between the two sisters wasn't exactly clear to me, but that could have been just me. That did not ruin it for me though. The story overall is good and easy to enjoy, but it does spark up some questions. Such as, what happened to Eun Byeol after she disappeared? I would have liked it if they gave a bit of insight in what she was doing in the meantime.

The acting, since this was my first K-drama I didn't have much to compare the acting to but to me it was great. Nam Joohyuk is one of my favorites right now and this drama may have played a part in that. I didn't expect Kim Soohyun to be so young! I loved her acting although she has improved a lot and I still follow her from time to time to see what she's up to. Sungjae also did a great job and I had a huge second lead syndrome after this drama, I was hoping she would choose for his character as she had much more chemistry with him in my opinion.

The OST's, Younha's pray still has a steady position in one of my Spotify playlists and reset by Tiger JK and Jinsil also occupied a spot for a long time. Overall the use of music was great and helped a lot with bringing across the emotions.

The rewatch value is as low as it is because I liked the drama, but the second lead syndrome was a bit too much and the story wasn't really my thing. Overall really great and I do recommend it!

So when I first started watching this drama i would describe it with one word CONFUSING....

But i couldnt stop watching and i started making my own little theory over what happend between the characters.

I really liked the storyline and its a drama for everyone who likes some dark andy mysterious things.
I fell in love with the charecters and loved Yook Sungjae in the role as Kong Tae Kwang. He was truly amazing and I loved Tea Kwang's character a lot.

The OST is really beutiful and overall fitting.
As well is the storytelling it's quick and you are not able to miss somesting from The story.
Overall a great drama!

Awesome

This drama is a true masterpiece !!! At the beginning you have to pay close attention to understand but the story is well structured. The storyline of these twins is really thrilling and touching. I am very pleased that Kim Seohyun is the FL of this drama because she offers an awesome performance which is full of realism. She plays both Lee Eunbi and Go Eunbyeol who are particularly different when it comes to their personalities.

During my first viewing of the drama I had a big 2nd lead syndrome for Gong Taekwang but during my second viewing my heart prefered Han Yian, who knows why lmao

The mean character of the story, who is also the one who started it all, Kang Soyoung, was detestable and fulfilled her role well.

I think this drama is very touching because the main theme is school bullying, having been bullied when I was younger this spoke to me and moved me a lot.

To sum up this is a classic in dramaland, you can't miss it. I really recommend it to you if you haven't watched ir yet :)

I recommend watching it again

The only reason I watched the K-drama Who Are You: School 2015 was because of how incredibly well Tae Gwang acted with Lee Eun Bi. From the very first episode, his character completely captured my attention — not because he was the typical male lead, but because of the raw, emotional depth that he brought to every single scene. Tae Gwang, played by Nam Joo Hyuk’s co-star Yook Sung Jae, wasn’t the perfect student or the charming prince; he was messy, broken, unpredictable, and yet so painfully human. His chemistry with Lee Eun Bi, portrayed by Kim So Hyun, was the kind that felt genuine, natural, and deeply touching. Every time they shared the screen, there was this unspoken tension — a mixture of sadness, care, and longing — that made their interactions feel more real than any scripted romance could. It wasn’t about grand gestures or cheesy lines; it was about the small things, like the way Tae Gwang looked at Eun Bi when she wasn’t noticing, the way he stood up for her even when she didn’t ask for it, and the way his pain mirrored hers in silent understanding.

Tae Gwang’s character development was the emotional heartbeat of the entire drama. While other storylines focused on mystery or school rivalries, his story was about redemption and unconditional love. He didn’t need Eun Bi to love him back to make his feelings meaningful; his love was selfless, a quiet kind of devotion that didn’t demand anything in return. Watching him struggle with his loneliness, his family issues, and his desperate need for someone to see him for who he really was made him more relatable than any other character. It was impossible not to feel for him — the boy who laughed to hide his pain and who found comfort only in the moments he spent with Eun Bi. Their scenes together were so emotionally charged that I often found myself replaying them, not because of the romance itself, but because of the sincerity that poured out of both actors. Tae Gwang made the story come alive; without him, Who Are You: School 2015 would have felt incomplete and hollow.

Even though the plot had its twists and typical K-drama clichés, I stayed for Tae Gwang. His portrayal added layers of meaning to what could have been a simple high school drama. He wasn’t just a side character — he was the soul of the show. His love for Eun Bi wasn’t about possession; it was about understanding and acceptance. Every time he smiled through his heartbreak, every time he quietly supported her, he proved that sometimes the most powerful love stories are the ones that never get a happy ending. By the time the series ended, I didn’t care about the main romance or the mystery anymore; I only cared about Tae Gwang and how he made me feel. His acting was so real and heartfelt that it lingered long after the final episode. That’s why, for me, the only reason I watched Who Are You: School 2015 — and the only reason I’ll ever remember it — is because of Tae Gwang and the way he brought Lee Eun Bi’s world, and mine, to life.

Ive been skipping this drama for a while now so i finally decided to watch after reading other people's reviews and im glad i did. It was actually pretty good and intense. Korea has a lot of bullying and it seems like they sometimes turn a blind eye coz they are still top country known for it. In the drama and in reality, seems like the parents are also part of the cause either they dont discipline the bully or encourage them. Its very sad. It was great how they portrayed the twin differences though its only one actress. Shes very talented and i know her from playing a mean girl in other shows. The antagonist also did great with her portrayal though we felt sorry for her in the end.  The ending was anti climatic but it was good

One of the Best School Series (the best for me tho)

✓ Taekwang, Eunbyeol, Soyeong = best characters
✓ Taekwang & Eunbi = best pair/ ship
✓ Kim Sohyun & Jo Soohyang = best actors

BEST SCENE: every single scene of real Eunbyeol trampling over Soyeong (especially when she destroyed her phone)

SADDEST SCENE: Taekwang going to his mom's wedding. I cried there a lot. He got another fight with his dad and confessed his feelings to Eunbi but just heard her apologizing and did not "at least" consider him (all these were on the same day T^T). Worse was that no one knew he was so broken.

BEST EPISODE: Episode 14 & 15

It breaks my heart how Taekwang kept being straightforward to his feelings even though he had the idea that Eunbi liked Ian. He's such a man.

Ian and Eunbi are a good pair, too, but the situation and the plot didn't sit well with me. Is it really that easy to lose your 10-year-feeling on a girl over her twin sister? That's pretty awkward.


[ A review after rewatching it I think for the 3rd or 4th time, 2016 was the first time I watched it ]


School 2015 is one of the best school dramas I watched since 2010. Kim Sohyun as expected did a great job in portraying her roles (I already watch some of her dramas before). She's so natural and did not make it hard for me to differentiate the twins even without them speaking. Surprisingly, I did not expect to be awed by Jo Soohyang. The first time I saw her I thought she's familiar (turned out that she was the girl in Mansae, a musicvideo of SEVENTEEN). She's an amazing villain here, I really felt my blood boiling bcoz of her superb acting. These two actresses speak QUEENS.

The only bad thing about this for me is the endgame and how much the production mistreated the character of Yook Sungjae.

I find it so unfair that Ian had all good while Taekwang hadn't had one (before he and his dad reconciled) and even rejected by Eunbi many times. Ian was a very promising athlete, respected/ adored by many, got a loving dad, a 10-year bff, and a girl who liked him back. Meanwhile, Taekwang only had Eunbi as a friend (whom he had unrequited feelings for) and most ppl always took him like a joke. Nothing against Ian's character, everything he got is fine, but at least the production should have made it better for Taekwang even just by getting the girl, especially after making us fall for him. Such a wrong move, tbh.

The production made it look like Taekwang was the endgame because his character seemed to be the second most important after Eunbi/ Eunbyeol (yes, you read it right. Taekwang is the male lead of the series. Being a male lead doesn't have to be chosen as a love interest all the time, this depends on how his role played in a story. Take Yuki from Fruits Basket. He's the second most important character after the female lead, and is the central character of the story).

Taekwang played a huge role in the story as a protective male friend of Eunbi, being there at all times especially in her bad times. He's the one who first discovered Eunbyeol's true identity and stood up for her. He even comforted her while Eunbi was just heartbroken for being ignored by Ian. He stayed with her in the hospital while seeing her taking care of another guy whom she liked. He always asked "Are you okay?" to her when something was up. He always told her to be just herself in front of him, whether she's Eunbi or Eunbyeol. Who would not love THE Gong Taekwang?

Also, episode 14 and 15 made it look like Eunbi was starting to develop feelings for Taekwang which only turned out to be a false hope.


"You'll regret dumping me later. That's for sure." -Taekwang

How I wish Eunbi will.


Have rewatched this a lot but I'm still bitter, and I will continue feeling that way until Yook Sungjae and Kim Sohyun will get their own drama together as a couple. Best couple award and CF are not enough for me to heal. This isn't like Love Alarm when Sohyun chose a more deserving guy.

If you're in for a good high school drama, this is the one for you. It has a pretty basic, cheesy main storyline with another side plot that has no actual resolve whatsoever, but everything else is just perfect. The cast is pretty great, with the main lead being relateable and cute. The guys don't fall short from anything amazing and the other characters add enough color to make yourself drawn in and live the reality of this beautiful drama.

I enjoyed every episode and moment. Though pacing is pretty slow in the first episodes, later on the story catches up greatly.

Would highly recommend.
