10/10
The main character, Yeon Sieun, is one of the quiet and reserved students. He has no friends at school or outside of it, and he has no intention of changing that—he wants to focus solely on his studies. Everything changes when he meets Ahn Suho and Oh Beomseok. His reality is no longer repetitive; instead, it becomes full of adventures.I came across this K-drama by accident a few years ago, and it hooked me from the very beginning. What intrigued me the most was Sieun, who never smiled and was cold toward everyone. He expressed his emotions through his eyes rather than facial expressions, which I found brilliant. He wasn’t physically strong, but in physical confrontations he relied on his intelligence and cleverness. Instead of using weapons, he made use of objects within his reach to attack his opponents—for example, the famous pen or a book. Suho, on the other hand, was his complete opposite. It’s fair to say he was an energetic extrovert. He stood out for his charisma, confidence, and physical strength—he trained in boxing. Beomseok, meanwhile, was different from both of them. He came from a wealthy family but wasn’t liked by his peers. He changed schools because he was bullied and couldn’t stand up to his tormentors. He had many emotions boiling inside him, which he kept hidden—deep down, he just wanted to be liked and to fit in with his classmates. That set him apart from Sieun and Suho, who lived life on their own terms and didn’t seek others’ approval. They knew that belonging to the most popular group wouldn’t change anything in their lives.
Not wanting to give spoilers, I wrote as much as I could without revealing the plot. However, I can guarantee that the series keeps you on edge the entire time. There’s no such thing as a boring episode in this K-drama—something happens in every single one. Personally, I’m watching it again because I keep coming back to it in my memories. A second season has also been released, and it’s worth watching after finishing the first. This K-drama definitely deserves a 10/10 rating.
