The Chairman Is Level 9

*SIGH* ?‍♀️

Honestly, I don't know where to start here. Literally came to serve mid. I thought the plot was interesting at first and I was naturally waiting to see how I-soo was going to be influenced by Ba-Tang (ngl, I almost call her Bang Tan 70% of the time) and the rest of the classmates in this almost perfect school. I have more frustrations and questions as I watch the drama than I get answers. Namely: (1) what happened between I-soo and his dad? (hopefully we know eventually), (2) why is the lawyer letting him run the school rn instead of waiting until he finishes school, because I don't get how him running the school now works as an incentive form him to want to keep the school? (3) when will the adults start adulting? (4) why does EVERYONE & THEIR PETS want a piece of the school? etc.

I can't tell you why I watched it but I guess I kept hoping it gets better and 40ish minutes of my time every Monday isn't too much time invested. Don't get me wrong there are moments that make watching bearable but it's just not enough of them to save the rating. I guess I am glad they put in the effort and tried acting. idk. I don't know if it was because of the episode run time, or what but very poor execution. Hopefully they learn and grow from this.

It had so much potential to be great ... but!!

I was drawn into this series, because it looked like a really unique story to follow. At the start, it appeared to be just as I thought, original and enjoyable, but something happened along the way. As each episode unfolded, it started to lose a bit of the attractiveness it had early on.
By no means does it becomes bad in any way, but it could have been so much better. Sung Hyun does a great job keeping his character interesting and a bit mysterious. A high school kid inheriting an upper class private school that he attends, it's such a good story to go with, and the character of I Su fits perfectly to be that high schooler. The problem I had was with several antagonists throughout the story, especially his uncle, Na Jun. He could have been truly a great villain in this drama, but he lacked depth with a very poor ending for his demise. It was definitely a rushed story conclusion in the final episode with a bit of disappointment following it.
That said, it still is worth watching. Minus the ending, it is quite entertaining with a supporting cast to Sung Hyun that fits the drama.
