It is a good Drama to watch!
Firstly, I thought to drop out from this Drama because of reviews on MDL. But wanted to give it a try after watching first episode. I liked all the actors - Yoo Seung Ho (Kang Bok Soo), Jo Bo Ah (Son Soo Jung), Chun Ho Jin (Park Dong Jun), Lee Kang Min (Yoon Sung Woo), Kim Dong Young (Lee Kyung Hyun), Park Ah In (Yang Min Ji) and others.It started as a revenge plot with an added romantic track between main leads (ML and FL), I really loved the whole drama irrespective of it's improper editing and story telling.
Story - It is nice that Bok Soo and Soo Jung were used to be lovers. Due to misunderstanding between them, Soo Jung commits a mistake by testifying against Bok Soo for pushing Se Ho which brings Bok Soo to start revenge plot after 9 years. During the process, he understands Soo Jung and gets lovey-dovey again! He gets into taking revenge against Se Ho not knowing Se Ho is a victim and helps everyone around him to set a better example of himself. Bok Soo finally graduates and gets together with Soo Jung.
I felt 32 Episodes as Long! the Drama could have ended little earlier.
Acting - I think all the actors portraying different roles (protagonist/antagonist/support) did amazing job. I really liked Seung Ho, and Jo Bo Ah as main leads, Teacher Park (Chun Ho Jin) with his sensible and responsible character and the other students around Seung Ho are all good.
Hope I rewatch the drama in the future again!

I don’t know whats wrong with seung ho
The Drama is not my cup of tea but i have to admit that the cast is fairly good, especially Yoo Seung Ho .. he is such a talented actor like anyone can freaking see that . The problem is to me.. his choice of dramas.. they all .. just ……. no comment. It feels like a waste of such a talent, not to mention that his dramas are not just terrible mostly, but also identical lol . I really like him so much like even in such a drama he managed to hit a feeling or two when there was literally nothing to be sad about ( the story was cliche) . I hope to see him in better dramas. the same goes with the FL . honestly its such a waste but i did had the patience to watch the whole thing . the comedy is nice … i dont exactly remember when did i watched but since im writing this review it means that i was deadass mad after finishing it that the feelings just stuck with me till now lmao. Overall, i don’t recommend the drama, i do recommend checking the cast and their work .………………………..:):)::):))

All in all, We really enjoyed the drama and worth the watch.
Ahhh. Wow. This drama had one... unrecreatable moments and indeed storyline. It was really the actors that brought this to such the amazing drama that it is, I really don't think I would've been the same without them. It is so memorable that it's easy to see why a lot of people love this drama - the background of every single character is just so perfect, just the right balance of emotion and realism that each one can easily be recognised and known for their personality. We also loved that the cast of every class was just on spot - not all the boys/girls in every class are cute, and it shows that even if you may not agree with someone else's type/crush in the drama, you will almost certainly have one of your own.You may have noticed that for now I have just talked about the supporting cast (because they really are amazing) but the main cast is just wow. They really brought it together. I cannot see anyone else playing the part of Bok Soo or Soo Jung or even Se Ho. Espesciallly Se Ho- no actually, the whole main cast had just the perfect past that it brought the perfect amount of feels, not too many cries, not too many aigoo moments or even funny scenes. They really were amazing, We cannot stress it enough, really.

Loved thiss
I really enjoyed this drama!! I was entertained throughout and surprisingly only stopped a few times to watch something else!I love the storyline but I feel like more should have been added!! Idk what but I feel like now should have been there!
The actors and actresses were AMAZING!! Especially 2nd male lead! You ever watch a show and the “villain” plays his part so well you start to hate him in real life!! I wanted to stomp him in cement and commence to covering his body up with chalk drawings after the cement dried. That’s how well he played his part! And it didn’t help that he was attractive af!! Made me wanna cry!
The back story was good asf too!! Like, ok then mr director sir!! Go off

A twist to the standard school yard romance drama
I loved this drama. I was only expecting a light weight school drama but how wrong was I. It was so well written and the theme is so strong but without going all dark and horrid. It is all about love at every level. Love between the OTP, family members, friends and colleagues. It is all there and it is their devotion that overcame obstacles and adversities. The chemistry of our OTP is off the chart and how they talked and cleared up their misunderstanding and then became so strong and steadfast is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual k-drama trope. Thank you writer-nim.Was this review helpful to you?

Chemistry between Bok Soo and Soo Jung - the lovey-dovey couple who overcame their misunderstanding
DISLIKE

Wanna Date Me - Ken'
REWATCH VALUE
Five for now

I love the storyline throughout because the characters did evolve time after time. There were lots of funny fluffy moments in the show which made it more entertaining. (If you like shows like the School series, this show wouldn't disappoint you). When the story reaches a certain part, you would want to know more about why this and that happened and when it did. You WILL forgive the poor fella no matter how annoying he was.
All the actors and actresses including the supporting roles all did a great job in showing and expressing for their characters even those supporting roles (students) were good. Look at Young Min and Seung Woo, they definitely left us an impression from the show because of their acting+character. And I LOVE Boksu's Mother and Mr Park, they were my favourite as well. They are like the guardian angel that's needed to guide all the children while they are still growing.
I won't rewatch this show unless I miss Bok Soo's silly-ness being madly in love ;)

This drama is basically about a charismatic, handsome guy who's belief in justice makes him fight or break stuff. Due to a misunderstanding between him, a shy, domestically abused rich guy and a smart, sweet looking, tough girl, the main character has decided to get his revenge on the other two, by being their pain in the butt.
This drama will surely make you irritated and annoyed in many ways. If the school, the system, the bullies or the teachers doesn't get to you, then the constant repetition of miscommunication and misunderstandings between the leads, might.
Of course this drama isn't all bad. It has some clever jokes and the secrets are pretty interesting. Sometimes it may break the reason of logic but as it is for the sake of some drama and compassion, some may let it slide (I couldn't let it slide).
I dropped this drama because I don't think it is of high quality to push the main characters good looks so much that all the other characters constantly talk about it. I think that the foundation on which the story is built was a bit below my expectations and I'm not a big fan of constant misunderstandings caused by pride and the annoying habit of hiding the truth.
I also feel like it doesn't stand out from it's genre and that it could have been executed better.
I came to this drama after watching "He is psychometric" and "Memories of the Alhambra" which both were 9/10. So coming from A list dramas to this might have affected my perception and caused an unfair comparison.
I recommend this drama to people who like romance and conflict as well as high school drama with some darker turns. It's not a bad drama, I just started watching it at a bad time. Maybe I'll come back to it later.
ENJOY!!

The rating of 8.1 on this drama is debatable
Ok where to begin with ... Let's go from bad to worstCast (bad): not a fan of ML i watch his shows from time to time but so far nothing impressed me. He doesn't look very lead material to me. The second ML/villain has distinctive looks but as such nothing felt extraordinarily good about his acting or character. FL is good despite her poor written character she kept the show alive solely by her acting and spontaneity.
Characters (worse) : every character from lead to villain to side characters is weak and poorly written. None of them is convincing even in the least or have any impactful projection. All of them just living their own arc of stupidity. Lead female character messed up a big deal but did nothing even after knowing her mistake .. ML got his life destroyed by FL but still can't think of any confrontation instead as soon as meets FL again he forgets what a fucked up life he was living for last nine years. Apart from this we have emotionally challenged mother and son duo on the lose. A teacher who keeps making cheap passes on fellow teacher. A teacher who is making pass on his students mother a mother whose son can study good is literally playing with entire parent association. As if it wasn't enough that we see the ML passing flying kisses and love letters to FL
Literally while sitting in the classroom - Disgusting!!! I mean man you aren't even freaking Highschool graduate take some time off and think about your pathetic status in a society like south korea. First you had dropout half way and now that you are back you still can't live up to the chance and messing things around .
Plot (the worst) - non-direction approach totally killed the joy. Though in the beginning two episodes it felt like okay there is a fine build up for upcoming events (may be a mellow revenge plot) but suddenly the writer took a nosedive and things lost their direction.. i won't be exaggerating if I say I completely forgetten why I started watching this show in the first place .. nothing written in the synopsis ever came true. It was a big disappointment almost betrayal as a viewer.
With that said I have had enough so i dropped it mid way.

My strange hero
Wish it was more popular. Love the cast, acting and chemistry. The main couple was so cute. Also Yoo Seung Ho has so adorable smile. This drama was something different that I expected but in totally good way, if I could I would binge-watched it.Some people might thought that there is too many episodes but they are short so it really is as typical 16 episodes drama. I am so happy that I gave this drama a chance.

Started with lot hope but somewhere disappointed in the end
For me, the cause of the story declining somewhere is because of the weird obsession of ending them together.I mean, its okay that you need to end them together, but you can do it in the last 4 or 5 episodes. You dont need to do it in the 6th episode.
One thing I can't justify is how she, just basis of some rumors, accused him of that incident. I mean, it was basic that people had a second thought it was seem like taking a revenge against the reveal that she thought that he started .I mean it was very little she got against what she had done against him. I mean, his 10 most important years lost because of her immature decision.
And one thing that is a problem with this kind of show is that they sometimes delay the truth to reveal it or they reveal the truth in bits and pieces, which sometimes degrades the satisfaction level of the viewer.
and i did not think that her regret has been well defined. I mean i can understand that she somewhere feard buty a high school student also have that kind of dignityto face the truth and not only at the teen age she also did nit think of coming after become adult Instred she blamed him for what he did whith out thinking. The thing for me I get is not that she doesn't know what the truth is, but she intentionally doesn't want to know the truth because she does not want to face herself and think about what heinous thing she did to him. The exact thing they show in the episodes is also that she does not want to know why they were fighting; she just believes that he hurt his friend.
And the main problem in the show is that the romantic plot started very abruptly; its like one day she didn't want to see him, and the next she was standing in front of his house.
Overall The thing is the show id quite good bit the problem is the setting of the things beacuse at the end of the 6th episode, I was hating the FL I was quite happy when he decided not to go to school anymore, then they suddenly changed the plot without any proper method, and that's where the story somewhere lacks.
