“I create opportunities even in hellish situations.”
If you have decided to watch this series just watch it with one thought this is pure comedy with amazingly done action scenes which have nothing to do with realism. Then you’ll find this drama fun.
I have not read Manhwa so my review will only be for this show.
What I like-
1. Choosing Rap OST for this drama was such a great move. Specifically the Back Packer song. I loved it.
2. The depth of each character of the study group was shown so nicely.
3. The action scenes are amazing and knowing the fact that Hwang Min Hyun did most of the stunts by himself makes it more impressive.
4. The fight choreography is amazing. The visuals are amazing.
5. In my opinion, this series has shown the best character development.
6. At first, I thought this was another Weak Hero Class 1 but it was much much more than that.
7. The friendships in this drama are just amazing. The bond they share with each other and the teacher makes this drama praiseworthy. The level of trust they had in each other even in the most difficult situations makes this drama more special.
8. Ga Min’s mom stole the show, even in just a few minutes. Now we know why Ga Min fights so well. It's in his blood. He gets it from his mother.
What I didn't like-
1. The pacing of the drama started great but it went mediocre in the middle.
2. Everything revolved around Ga Min so much that it felt weird in later episodes.
3. Pi Han Wool was the villain but he did something big only in the last two episodes. The depth they showed for study group members I wanted that same thing for Han Wool as well.
4. Lack of Seon Yeop’s screen time. I never read Manhwa so I thought he was the villain because of his sudden appearances at the right place right time. He was a complex character in my opinion.
Some of my favorite quotes from this drama-
“The moment a person stops learning, their life stops too.”
“I create opportunities even in hellish situations.”
“It doesn't have to be a great victory. What comforts you from losing isn't the perfect score test result… one circle is enough.”
“To steal someone’s time, you don't threaten them. You ask for understanding.”
All in all, the story and plot are very predictable like any other K-drama but it's fun to watch. This drama had everything… comedy, amazing cast, banger OST, clap-worthy action scenes, friendships that you will envy to have in real life, best character developments… you just name it.
