A wonderful thriller with a powerful ending!
This is one of the coolest dramas I've ever watched, not only because it has elements of GL and suspense, but because the actors are incredible and the school setting and rivalry are very well The plot is well-developed. It's not a repetitive drama, the narrative isn't tiring, and everything is very, very good! Secondary braids are a current and important point to discuss, especially considering the teenage audience represented in the series. The series' filmography is absolutely beautiful, cinematic.Was this review helpful to you?

Disappointing.
After seeing the first episode, i was MORE than excited to watch this K-Drama, as especially by the way it was narrated and filmed gave me a feeling that this could be the Euphoria of K-Drama. BOY WAS I WRONG.The creators really poured their braincells into the first few episodes and then seemingly watched too much AI Slop on YouTube Shorts, frying their brains, and then continued writing the story. Theres no other explanation for this, as after the first half of the series the story just... LITERALLY falls off. Like... it doesnt make any sense anymore. All the build-up is thrown out of the window, plot points are forgotten, the story is made up out of thin air without substance.
Not to mention the romance aspect - it seemed to build up a really cool wlw plot after a while, which I was getting excited about, but then they also just... dont go any further? Like they build it up and then midway through the relationship build-up said "actually theyre just friends nvm" EVEN THO THAT WAS 100% NOT WHAT WAS BUILDING UP.
Not to mention the ending... the story was nowhere near done and had terrible pacing, so they try to conclude the story within 1 last episode and as i said: everything that happened there didnt make sense and went by way too fast. It was as if the writers just wanted to wrap things up as fast as possible so they could finally hit the bed. Thats how lazy it was.
OVERALL: DONT WATCH IT! This is literally the K-Drama together with "Hierarchy" that I can name INSTANTLY when somebody asks me about bad dramas ive seen without thinking twice. Which is so disappointing, as the FLs actress is really good and was in my fav drama ever (Reply 1988).

Chaotic but Decent Show
Recommended if: you like mind games, obsession, manipulation, complexityNot recommended if: you want something simple to watch or looking for a cute GL (there is suggested romance but it's not the focus of the show)
***
It seems that I'm part of the minority who enjoyed the plot of the show. It started with one case, branched out all over the place, and entangled the characters against each other. The way they presented how the events unfolded by balanced use of showing and telling created intrigue and kept me interested every episode.
However, there were times where too many things happened at once that it became confusing to follow. The characters were also more of a tool for the plot than well-developed entities. Their motivations were questionable, especially Jei. That's where they built on the mystery and thriller—instability, intensity, and complexity. I believe the show had a strong foundation but became ambitious at some point, and suffered loss of connection and impact to the viewers by the end.
Nevertheless, its a decent show that has its own charm. Its an interesting and fun chaos. I might not watch it again, though.

I liked it?
This show tries to tackle the academic hardships of Korean teens.... but then it gets bogged up in a crazy plot that involves drug deals, pedophilia, smuggling contraband in your guts and MORE.The longer it went on the more focus it lost. also it was supposed to be GL but I would have liked it to be a little more gay???

Unexpected
At first I thought the story would be something casual, but the topic was heavier than I expected. You see teenagers trying so hard to be the best that they even resort to choices they wouldn't normally make if they weren't under the pressure of the strict grading system and the high expectations of adults. They all cross lines one way or another, and I believe this was presented to us very well. The acting is good, and so is the storyline.And I kind of did expect this to be a GL, so I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't really get to see the two main characters, Je I and Seul Gi, get together. You only saw hints of it, but I still think the series is worth watching.

Very strange drama
During the first few episodes, I was really excited. I was really enjoying the story, but at a certain point, I felt like the drama was starting to lack sense and increasingly strange things were happening. The moment I saw a teenager performing surgery, I really felt like the drama had lost all logic. At many other moments, very absurd things happened. I also feel like the characters aren't very well constructed, and the romance could have been much more than it was, or really wasn't, because it only lasted one episode and there were many confusing twists in the story. I think it was a confusing and slightly strange story, but I must say that I enjoyed watching the drama. It's not a drama I would watch again, but it really is a drama to watch if you're bored one day.

I was really intrigued by this series. I had never watched a Girl Love (GL) drama before.At the beginning, I found the story interesting the characters, the story behind her father’s death… Then we learn that the real culprit is actually her girlfriend’s father, involving drugs and so on. I thought there was great chemistry between all the characters.
But I have to admit that towards the end, after the fake death of her sister, I found the story a bit incoherent and rushed. She has a conversation with her father, then suddenly she stops talking to her friend. She treats her really badly. From that point on, I got a bit lost. At first she stops replying to her, avoids her completely… Then they come up with a plan, but it doesn’t go as expected, so he does something she wasn’t aware of. This leads to her needing surgery. And in the end, she goes live and jumps out the window with her sister. I didn’t really understand the ending I found it rushed and poorly explained.
Apart from that, the beginning up until almost the end was really good. I still recommend it anyway.

Story has complex characters
I went into this story not knowing anything about it but I ended up really enjoying it. The plot is solid, though confusing in some episodes, and there were moments in the show where I’d cry. The tension between the two main characters is sooo good, moments in the show kept me at the edge of my seat. I love how deep their relationship is and the acting is great. If people enjoy psychological drama and aspects of a show, this is a good watch for them.Was this review helpful to you?
I finally finished it
To be honest, it took me a year to finish this show because I had thought it would be a promising GL, which was my fault for not looking into it beforehand. However, now that I have finished watching it, I can assert that the plot is a bit far-fetched. Besides that, I enjoyed the show overall: incredible cast, astounding production and music. I will definitely be watching the second season once it comes out.Even though this show was never promoted as a GL, it is impossible to me -and to most people I believe- not to see Seulgi and Jeyi as more than friends. Hopefully, now that GL's have gained more popularity in the Asian market, the production team will turn the girls' "friendship" into something more.
