I Expected Less, But Wanted More

I expected this drama to be much worse, but it actually turned out to be pretty enjoyable. I rarely watch school-themed dramas, but this one managed to catch my interest. I liked the characters, especially the main character, Yoo Se A.

One of the biggest downsides, though, is that it wasn't scary at all. The drama could have done a much better job of building suspense and keeping the tension high. Unfortunately, it never really managed to create that unsettling atmosphere.

The plot was also a little weak. The backstory wasn't particularly impressive either — basically, two friends had a falling-out, and everything started from there. There were also quite a few plot issues that made me question the writing. Where were the teenagers' parents? It felt like the writers didn't bother to properly address certain things. The days seemed to blend together, the kids were practically left unsupervised, the teachers were nowhere to be seen, and even one student's sister had no real backstory.

I expected worse from this drama, but I also can't say I finished it feeling impressed or amazed. I mostly just wanted to get through the remaining episodes as quickly as possible.

I think the drama was missing several things: more horror, more suspense, more interesting twists, a stronger sense of mystery, and, most importantly, more story development. I wanted more explanations about the characters and their relationships — who is connected to whom, why certain characters feel a certain way about each other, what their motives are, and what actually happened between them. In short, I wanted more revelations and a much deeper exploration of the story.
