I binged it and OMG now I understand why this was popular. AlmondProgress are so cute, so adorable, so endearing! With more acting classes, they're are going to be unstoppable!
Many people stops at looking at the (promised) messyness of this series, but there's much more to consider.
After watching the pilot trailer many times, I came to the conclusion that this show is about one thing: power. More specifically, how power is exercised and, ultimately, how to subvert it.
The 4 "leaders" exercise power in their way: 1)Kimmy->power throught sex 2)Pim-> power throught knowledge 3)Yim->power thought money 4)Max->power throught violence (=bullying)
In this school, every student must join one of the leaders' group. If not, first they will aggressively try to recruit you. And if you still refuse, you might get k!lled, as it happens to the protagonist (Tommy). However, somehow he comes back to life and, again, he is asked to choose to join one leader. And what he does? He refuses. That's how, I think, he will exercise power: throught resistance.
You can say that I'm overanalyzing it or I'm giving too much credit to Dumundi's screenwriters. I'd understand that, but I refuse to believe this show's messyness is just for the sake of being messy.
Then in November we will see Only friends, Melody of Secrets and Me and Thee dramas. I wish gmmtv had released…
For H2H we'll need to wait a lot I think. For Friendshit Forever we might get it sooner than we think! But for MoS, I'm not that confident it'll air on November....

I hope I'm right! XD
