Crazy how s2 is better than the first one!
WOW! I just finished season 2 and did not expect it to be better than season one, but it did. The plot was phenomal and everything about the characters and plot twists were so well written. this is a well deserved 10/10 in my book.I loved how everything connected, and I am they very excited to watch the third season as I’m confident that it will not disappoint. My hopes are up and my standard is raised! As an avid romance watcher, I did not expect me to be so pulled into this kdrama but I was heavily.

This kdrama really hit the nail!
Bullying is such a prevalent, occurring, and nonstop issue that has been addressed countless times, and this kdrama really brought light to how serious it really is. I live in America, and I thought our bullying system was bad, but Korea's is a whole other thing. The fact that this story and plot were created based on inspiration from tragic, controversial events is genuinely heartbreaking. Imagining going through these experiences is hard on its own, and this kdrama really brought these cases to life. Teach You a Lesson really dove into these hard discussions of topics such as obsession, drugs, and gambling, letting everything play out in itself. It's safe to say I thoroughly enjoyed watching this quick watch.I'm glad the cases were resolved cleanly, and they brought justice and showed the victims' stories and what they have gone through. It's devastating that shows like these have to be developed in order to illustrate just how crazy bullying is taken and not accounted for enough in Korea, but this show really did its part. I'm pretty sure there have been protests surrounding this kdrama, which really shows how much netizens and citizens of Korea are not owning up to their faults. Conversely, there have also been rumors regarding a second season, which I'm all open to. I would love to expand on the story and maybe learn more about the characters and their backstory. Furthermore, I would also like to see more real-life inspired bullying cases to show the harsh reality of school in Korea.
This kdrama really showed how Korea isn't all that perfect. People wanting to live in Korea primarily because of kdramas is terribly embarrassing, so I hope this show really proves that living there isn't all that great; there are pros, but also cons. The experience of high school life may not be what you expected, and it's just absurd how many bullying cases are seen every day in the education system.
If there isn't something like the ERPB yet, then Korea should definitely implement a bureau like this one.

Such a heartfelt and meaningful message communicated through the show!
I have never had to deal with such serious disorders or diseases, but this kdrama really made me feel like I was one of the nurses living through what hospital life felt like. The characters were so relatable, and I liked how there were a lot of different representations of different disorders and such. Moreover, I did not expect such a change throughout the other end of the show; when she begins to feel depressed and gains symptoms slowly, I thought that was really well portrayed as it didn't happen quickly, but more gradually. Through the female lead, I was able to see the challenges she faced during her job and the adversities she had to overcome as a nurse with depression. Especially during that episode, I guess I saw that doctors and nurses are also people and humans who have feelings.Personally, I think the only thing that is making me hesitant about making it a full 10/10 is the pacing and a little bit of the romance that was depicted. Don't hate me for saying this, but I think the childhood friend had more chemistry than the other doctor! Maybe because they just clash well together and had better banter, but I felt like the romance between the fl and ml felt rushed and kind of forced. From giving rice cakes out and quickly developing feelings for the fl, I feel like it was too quick. However, I did like that he never gave up on his feelings and pursued her: that is what made him better than the childhood friend. He had more courage and wasn't a coward like the childhood friend, but I just wish I could see them interact more, as I didn't feel that spark between them that I did with the fl and her childhood friend.
Overall, this kdrama had an excellent plot, and the actors did such an amazing job with their roles! I loved how the story showed that professionals can also feel feelings and can experience hardships just as much as their patients. I felt connected to the main characters of the show, and I especially loved the head nurse and her story about her sister. It made me feel like she was fit for her job.
