could’ve been so peak if not for the ending
one of the early kdrama i’ve watched and got so hooked with it only for them to fumble with the ending. she should’ve been with that ginger guy (i forgot their name mb) and her twin sister with that swimmer athlete. but ofc they just had to pair her up with the swimmer when both of them have no chemistry or so whatever. this is peak if you just skipped the ending and make your own ending in your head.also, ost is the best oat. yes, even better than dots and goblin🙏

One of my favorite dramas of all time. This is an emotional, cute and at times heartbreaking ride. This review contains some spoilers
I've been following Kim So Hyun's works since I saw and loved her in Missing You. Really, she became one of my favorite korean actresses, everything about her is so natural and sincere, her acting really gets you on the character's skin and makes you laugh and cry whenever she does. One of the most promissing(if not the most) actresses out there. But the show doesn't resume on her acting, I also thought Yook Sung Jae did an excelent job as the problematic yet quirky Tae Gwang. Seriously, he and So Hyun had such chemistry...(I'm still butthurt because they didn't end together)
Gushing aside, the story was also pretty well executed, with just some flaws and plot holes here and there. I know that this amnesia plot is extremely overused, but instead of just being used as a plot device, the amnesia is well developed and it even helps on the development of Eun Bi. Seriously, she goes from a girl who lost her courage, to someone who could impersonate her twin's attitude and then changed (again) to someone who could fend for herself and face her problems instead of running away.
The love triangle was also well executed, but poorly solved. *SPOILER* Really, I can't believe that they built such a relationship between Eun Bi and Tae Gwang, only for her to end up with the guy that spent basically the entire drama longing for her sister. I'm still pissed at this.
Another thing that could be promissing but ended up poorly executed was Eun Byl's character. Really, the girl was like no other I've seen in dramas (at least so far) and I surelly wanted to see more of her, and therefore more a development for her character. It was like a breath of fresh air when she finally showed up and gave the bully girl what she deserved. I was the entire time cheering: "You go girl!" Also, kudos for Kim So Hyun for managing to deliver two completely different characters.
Also, apart from romance and characters, I really liked the way this series handled issues like bullying. It was very saddening to see how much one is willing to hurt the other only because of their own internal struggles. Even though I didn't like the character one bit, I have to congratulate Jo Soo Hyang's job, because it was so well done that she made me really hate her but at the same time sort of understanding where she came from.
All in all, it was a very good drama. I openly recommend you to watch and fall in love with this coming of age story.

I just finished watching this drama, i have something to express that i can't hold back. First, kim so hyun was overwhelming in her double role, how she managed to portray a tempered strong fascinating girl loved by her friends and another mild mannered calm and tidy girl who was bullied in her previous school. I can't describe this drama with words; the fact that the twins both existed was epic and that eun byul stopped kang so young from bullying and forced her in the end to be remorseful is a big deed. But Tae kwang is the lead that was oppressed he was the first one who acknowledged eun bi as herself, and was heated up that she cared for him but she didn't shared his feelings in the end was a bit disappointing even if eun byul and Han I yan were not true lovers just best friend, it would be more fair that eun-bi like Gong tae kwang who did everything for and not han I yan who was confused between her and eun-byul. The other sides of the story were somehow interesting: min joon and his mom, jung soo In case etc...In overall, this drama was really enjoyable, it deserve a high rating because of the actors especially the splendid kim so hyun, however the love story was lacking.

This show made me have my second lead syndrome for the first time. I don't like the goody two shoes second leads but this time..the second lead blew my heart. Obviously he is damn amazing coz he is Yook Sung Jae.
The main female lead obviously acts very well according to her age. Plus she is pretty. Both of her roles were opposite and she played them so well.
Even the negative lead was so good she actually made us hate her from the bottom of our heart XD
The story will never bore you ...you will be like what will happen next and all.
So if you even have a question about watching it...forget it. You should just watch it. You will not regret.

Liked it much more than I thought I would
I like this so much better than School 2013, the production and lighting is better. The characters much more interesting.I am on episode 5 and I know Kang So Yeong's is going to get off with a mere apology. She bullied someone so much that the person tried to kill themselves.
Not only does she not feel any remorse or guilt, but she along with the nasty little friend groups of hers have the audacity to want to ruin her life again now that she has gotten away from it even with that twist of fate.
The drama like society will fail to provide justice showing that there are no real consequences for bullying someone, only the victim suffers while the offender is given multiple chances to do better.
The romance part, I get why people prefer that she end up with Tae Gwang, because he was there from the get go. She chose to confide in him first, even if it was an accident that he found out. But I don't mind that she ended up with Han Yi An, because he isn't a bad guy or a red flag. He reacted like a normal person would in such situation, in fact he handled it better.
The story had its issues but it was enjoyable.

School series in particular have this specific way to delve deeply into the problems of South Korean students. Who Are You: School 2015 was based on bullying and common family problems. Also, this version offered a lot of mystery elements which I really enjoyed. Sometimes it felt like you were reading a crime novel!
The storyline was quite hard to follow, especially in the first episode, but the eventually everything started to fall into place. I get why a lot of people like to be harsh critics of School 2015 (probably the second lead syndrome that everyone has gone through). Yes yes, there were so beautiful moments portrayed by the skillful actors, whom I already recognize from the previous drama that they've starred in. Some characters in particular made me mad and sappy, happy and sentimental. My emotions were all over the place and I guess it's supposed to be the main objective of the drama.
The OST was touching and enjoyed as well. Can't help but replay all of the songs after watching it!
If you're into school themed dramas that deal with teen problems and first love, this is the drama for you! The storyline is gripping, the actors are superb and the music will definitely enchant you!

The story itself it's a little bit like a cliché but feels unique and fresh at the same time.
