Duty after School: Part 1

one of the best survival series

I've watched the other shows with similar plotlines such as Sweet Home and All of Us Are Dead etc. so Duty After School had a synopsis that piqued my interest. The plot moves slow and fast at the same time. Slow as in, the character development is pretty lacking, but fast, in a way that so MUCH happens in one episode. So much changes per episode yet there's not really an explanation for such big changes. One thing I felt lacking in storytelling was how fast some of them learned to weld firearms and shoot, however, their mentality was still just as immature and frustrating as before. (just a few character though) The pack is constantly moving and there's a lot of killing/gore lol.

Overall, the drama was great, it kept me on the edge of my seat (quite literally) the entire time and it was interesting enough for me to complete in one day. I developed a big crush for the commander sergeant,, maybe i just like tsunderes LOL. But the ending was pretty unfortunate and the kids are all good kids (for the most part) so I enjoyed watching the show.

It was kind of hard to keep track of who was who in the beginning because there were so many characters, but it was interesting how they really separated each character and we got to know their personalities throughout the episodes. My favorite characters were Kim Chiyeol (Kimchi), Soo Cheol, Na ra, and JangSoo. I eventually started liking everyone towards the ending but some were truly a struggle ._.

my opinion

I really enjoyed watching Duty After School because it combines two of my favorite genres: fantasy and teenage drama. From the very first episode, the storyline grabbed my attention. The idea of high school students suddenly being recruited to fight mysterious alien creatures is both original and intense. It’s not something we see every day, and it adds a lot of suspense and excitement to the plot.

One of the things I liked most was how the series shows the emotional and psychological struggles of the students. They are just normal teenagers, dealing with school, friendships, and their future — and suddenly, their lives are completely turned upside down. It made me think about how I would react in such a situation. The characters feel very real, and I became emotionally attached to some of them, especially the ones who were trying to stay strong and protect their friends.

The visual effects and action scenes are also impressive. The creature designs are unique and creepy, which adds to the tension. The atmosphere is sometimes dark and intense, but there are also moments of humor and friendship that make the story more balanced and human.

I also appreciated how the series builds up mystery. We still don’t fully understand what these creatures are or where they came from, which makes me even more excited for the second part. I can't wait to see what happens next and how the characters will evolve.

A good thriller, and action drama but the editing was a little meh

I've seen a lot of edits of this show on TikTok, and now, after finishing it, I get the hype for this show. They did a nice job depicting the student life: immature kids who always whine and are out of touch in reality but slowly mature as they understand what is going on. I'm glad that the aliens here are interesting to know and watch, since in the other fantasy dramas I have seen, the "fantasy" or "sci-fi" parts were so boring. A lot of characters were so annoying, but a lot of them are also exciting to see. The action scenes are so good, but since the students are either arguing or complaining, it gets irritating. The cliffhanger was nice; since this has a second season, it would make you curious about what will happen and how they will end the invasion of these unknown creatures. A 9/10 for me.

Why is it so overrated?

I had high hopes.

The story line and world building in the first episode was pretty good. Made an introduction to most of the characters and described the situation a bit in a funny, quirky, weird way.

What I didn't like.
The lack of logic/sense. I understood the obsession in the first part of the story with the exams and having good grades, but after the invasion, what made them think that any faculty would be open if their highschool was the way it was and corpses were a common occurrence?

Also the shelter thing. The logic behind the high number of alien floating bubbles was due to the high population in a certain area. If all of the adults would be somewhere chilling with no care in the world (which also didn't make any sense) , more would appear in that zone.
As well as the frequent, make no sense scenes, like the car key moment that annoyed me the most. Just grab a stick! Don't attract attention, meanwhile them starting the whole amusement park in the middle of the night while screaming....

Characters' lack of brain cells. I get that everyone is "different", young/immature and in highschool, but at some point, the situation needs to be taken into account. No one is coming to save you, and you don't have a clear picture of anything.
I also understood the anonymous votes, but why couldn't they split up? Especially all the whining that lasted until the end. If you want to go, GO! Less mouths to feed and more ammunition. No one would blame you if you decide to get your useless self away from there.

I wanted character growth, more world building and a splash of romance, but getting my favorite character killed doing useless sh*t, and whinny teenagers insted.

Good Enough

Korean Drama " Dute After School Part One " is a sci fi horror story in a school setting.

The story is full of emotional scenes and a few gory ones, with the aliens and their invasion being kept at bay for the last episodes when the action truly kicks in.

The characters, moreover, are kind of annoying, truly teenagers caring for having fun and focusing on their own problems, rather than the current situation, that is until they come face to face with their reality. Which is to say that they were realistic and original.

As for the performances, everyone in the cast, especially the young ones, did a great job with their characters.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

please don't use logic

if you forget all sense of logic, sensibility and realistically how a situation can be handled, this drama will be okay. dont use brain. its so frustrating, annoying and laughable if you start trying to solve their obstacles and then see how they're using the worst possible way to solve

but lol besides that the characters are okay. everyone is too angry all the time but that's okay, mostly teenagers are at play. it didnt really feel that realistic or believable in the setting they put but it's interesting still. if you don't use brain you'll enjoy. let them solve things badly and just enjoy the show at face value then it's easy

Definetly something different

I liked this one, I think the drama and story were overall very unique. I liked that the aliens didn't look fake at all in my opinion, in other words, the sci-fi was on point. the ending in other words was very disappointing and when I watched the second part it made it worse because it's so confusing. I'd still give it a 10/10 because overall everything stood out to me. I think the first episodes in the second part were so cool, and every character had a huge development. if you are looking to watch something different I recommend this. This was even different than All of us are dead. Which is one of my top dramas, it was different. I can only hope for a third reason to make it make sense in my head. Honestly, I suggest you stop watching after ep 6, although the beginning of the second part its super cool, and you can see all of them coming together and helping each other. I read lots of comments saying the it shows the typical other drama's story but it was different for me given the situations they were in. I recommend dit though, its different and not boring at all.

IS THIS A MUST WATCH?! prob.......

A.... Yes. I actually watched this season 1 and season 2 multiple times. This is worth watching!
First and foremost the cast! Although there are some of them who are not popular as much as other actors are, they are actually really good! And speaking of the cast, I love it how the characters have their own roles, have their own lines no one had been left out and the y give importance to those characters so much.
Even though they're just supporting characters they are well played.

The characters relationship, their unity their bond, and everything I love it, and mostly their friendship. In time like this it is so good to see everyone helping each other to survive.

I actually love the 1st season tho.

And for the plot... I THINK A LOT WAS LEFT OUT. I don't know... But for sure something is missing.

As for CG it's good! 🔥
