I don't understand why a lot of people are disappointed
I've seen a lot of reviews saying the first season is much better and that the second season was unnecessary. Are they even aware of the story and the dynamics? I personally loved this season. The chemistry is different of course. The other one was chaotic and here it's a little melancholic. Doesn't change the fact that this season is definitely on par with the first one. Go Younjung became an instant favourite of mine through this one drama. I wish people wouldn't hate this season as much and give it a chance.Was this review helpful to you?

I should've watched this ages back
If there is anything I regret, it's not watching this while it was airing. The teacher student dynamic is something I unexpectedly came to love and obsess over. I didn't even realise how many episodes I binge watched over a couple days. Speaking of which, one of the highlights of the drama is it's pacing. It's fast so that it's addictive yet slow enough for the development of the story and for the viewers to keep up with. I love how Mudoek was the boss a lot of the time (even though she was weak physically) I'll definitely re-watch this after sometimeWas this review helpful to you?

This one got me out of my drama slump era
I'm so happy to write this review. One of the most satisfying watches I've ever had. I won't say it's life changing or anything but sometimes you need a drama like this to cleanse your brain which is filled with seriousness. Also I don't like the forced bromance a lot of the time. This one was so natural and I loved it. I also like how for the second lead, they didn't make it his entire personality. In a lot of dramas the love triangle tends to irk me sometimes. But this one didn't have that problem. Also the humour of the drama is something I vibe with. It had mentioned hooked. One of the main reasons I stuck with it till the end.Was this review helpful to you?
Stayed only for the main leads but disappointed at the end
It started of good like any other thriller drama but fell off because the story was scripted in such a way that everything became too obvious halfway through. There was no wow factor that I wanted and it disappointed me a lot. I stayed for one and only reason and that it Wi Hajoon and Park Min young because both of them happen to be my favourites. They could've finished this as an 8 episode drama instead of dragging it to 12 episodes. I wish they had done a better job. It had the potential but fell off.Was this review helpful to you?
