Boring
I found this drama really boring and uninspiring. Things keep on happening all the time, new drama and new revelations, but theres no substance to them or the reactions that follow because its so constant that it leaves no breathing room for getting to know the characters. I have seen some people praising this aspect of the drama because it cuts out the fluff, but theres really no reason to root for anyone in this drama without the fluff or buildup.Besides that, the acting is just not good. I would say two people, thankfully including the fl, Jung Yoo Min does a good job acting-wise. Almost everyone else either overacts (Its supposed to be dramatic, I know, but it was too much even then) or underacts and speak like they are just straight up reading off the script with 0 conviction.
Overall, not a good watch, would not recommend it.

Too shallow for me
I dont have too much to say about this drama other than that I think it was really quite underdeveloped, Theres a few plot points that are introduced but never properly expanded upon or neatly tied up. I wont spoil the ending but I will say that it is not very satisying as those plot points simply became plot holes and unanswered questions. I think a lot of this drama was too simple and unnecessarily unrealistic. I understand its a silly drama for the most part, but personally I enjoy realism within the unrealistic. The acting was fine but not anything extraordinary. For the characters, I will say they were all pretty one-dimensional in my opinion. I also thought the chemistry between the leads disappeared after a few episodes as their characters lost their individuality. Overall, it was okay, I wouldnt recommend it unless youre fine with a really shallow drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Not as good as people say.
Duty after school is a subpar drama. If youre looking for something that 1. makes any sense, and 2. is serious, then I would not recommend this. The premise is really interesting but the execution is awful. The characters are unlikeable in the worst way and most of them show 0 development or awareness despite the things they go through. Their motivations are also really odd and dont really add up with what is going on around them. Basically they feel and are very surface-level, like someone wrote two paragraphs for each one and left it at that. Also they kept adding "funny" scenes that severely interrupted the flow and feel, especially because they were bizzarely edited with upbeat music despite the characters being in a literal warzone and fighting for their lives.The worldbuilding is not very good either, things dont make much sense, the military act very strange and it makes it difficult to be immersed.
The acting was fine, thats about it.
(DO NOT be fooled into thinking this is ANYTHING like All Of Us Are Dead. It is NOT.)
