Shin and Saint are in love
I watched this because I'm currently going through all of Nani's works, but I'm so glad I watched it. I really liked this a lot. I love the cast so much! So many of my favorites and familiar faces in this which I loved. Sky and Nani have incredible chemistry and it's crazy that this was their first project together. Amazing! I thought the whole cast was great together. I loved the plot and concept of the show a lot as well. I loved seeing how Jan and Sung would solve problems between the kids and seeing how much they cared for and fought for them, especially when all the other teachers already gave up on them. I really enjoyed watching everyone's growth over the series as well. None of it felt rushed and all felt very natural. Also have to say that I loved that the boys in class never messed with the girls and stood up for them a lot. I feel like that showed that they were good people deep down. Small detail but I really liked that. This was a lot of fun to watch!
Characters:
Saint: I loved seeing how much he cared for his friends, especially Shin, and how hard working he was. I loved that he didn't fight just to fight like some of the others and really only did when it was for his friends. He's definitely in love with Shin.
Shin: He was my favorite character. He was so caring towards so many people, especially his friends, but didn't put up with bullshit either. He is way more forgiving than I ever could be so props to him because personally I wouldn't have ever been able to forgive Saint. I love his relationship with Saint though and was happy he didn't immediately be friends with him again because of what he did to him. He's definitely in love with Saint. I really liked his relationship with Chatjen as well! I loved how close they were. I know he was pretty good friends with First and Thiu as well, but I feel like we didn't see much of a bond between them other than them just following Shin around. Loved his relationship with his sister too! So cute!
They should've just had these two get together. It was so gay between them, and they were flirting all the time. Stop queer baiting and let them be together.
Jan: I loved her! Like I said before I loved what her and Sung did for the kids. She was a bit dramatic at times about just wanting to resign or say she was an awful teacher every time it didn't go her way but other than that I did like her a lot.
Sung: I thought he was just okay at first, but he grew on me throughout the series and like I said before I liked what he did for the kids. I liked learning that he used to be a troublemaker too and how he's changed since the accident in high school.
Chatjen: I loved him! He was so smart and so caring! I liked seeing him always try to help the others get along. He really helped with Shin and Saints relationship a lot too. I was sad when he said he was going abroad, but I loved the conversations him and Saint and Shin had prior to him leaving to help him feel better about leaving. I just loved him a lot and he was one of my favorites.
Ken: I hated this man. By the end he did grow quite a bit and he was more tolerable. I just didn't like him at all throughout 90% or more of the show. I will say I liked his relationship with the twins a lot. Their friendship was really sweet. I felt bad about his home life too.
Knot and Nate: I didn't care for the twins throughout the most the show either. I liked how good of a relationship they had with each other as well as with Ken. That was really nice to see. I was happy when they were getting more screentime in the final episodes just because I love AJ and JJ.
Cable: I love Mark so much, so I was happy to see him in this. I was waiting for him to stand up against his mother because he just looked so sad all the time. I do feel like even when it was his moment in the show (him running away), that it was still kind of an afterthought or something. A lot of the characters got a storyline where they were pretty much the main focus but even during his storyline, Ken's was more of a focus. So, I wish we got a little bit more with him because I think it could've been done a bit better. I liked him just felt bad for him more than anything.
Peeta: I hated her from beginning to end. She just felt entitled, didn't listen to what anyone was saying, and just selfish. We saw that a lot during her fight with Eve, but it was there even before that. Even by the time the show was done I just didn't like her at all. She didn't have much growth really at all either. I'm pretty sure I even liked Ken better by the end than her.
Eve: I kind of went back and forth for a bit if I liked her or not. At first, she didn't really listen to anyone either. Once the thing with the painted locker happened and she started getting closer to Airy, I liked her a lot better and could see how she was changing. I liked her friendship with Peeta and loved her relationship with Airy a lot. I definitely think they like each other.
Airy: She was kind of just forgettable to me for the first chunk of the show until she started getting closer to Eve. I really liked her a lot after that. I think they brought out a fun part of each other. She definitely likes Eve a lot.
First and Thiu: They seemed a bit more important in the first few episodes and then after that I feel we barely saw them. I thought we'd get to see more of theirs and Shin's relationship, but we didn't. I wish we got to though to see why they're apparently good friends.
Chingching: SO CUTE! Loved her!! She really helped with Shin and Saints relationship a lot too!
