this drama has its good points if you can see beyond the fashions and expressions of 40 years ago but. while for koreans probably it is nostalgic、 for non koreans it is maybe just dated
when I watched episode 1 of this drama I wondered、 is it meant as a comedy because the eye effect on eating the cookie is hilarious。 this drama is addictive www watch no doubt but the problem for me is the constantly shifting relationships between characters like a kaleidoscope combined with reliance on flashback and flash forward to unravel the plot and explain these shifts in characters as collaborators one minute and enemies the next。 some may see this as original script writing but I wonder as the story risks losing credibility。it is not a spoiler I think to comment if someone stabs you in the back and takes advantage of your weakness one minute why will you embrace them the next？ even on a chessboard the pieces on the two sides remain black and white。on the plus side it develops some nice ironies。 for me the ending was weak、 especially regarding the male leads、 and rather unclear。 maybe they want to leave it open for a sequel though I am not convinced it justifies one。
it keeps you engaged with the fascination of evil。 but the big flaw here was the final episode： a whole drama is based on an evil gang of malignant narcissist bullies (all the worse for being student age) and then trying to give them a human face in the final episode、 with the worst offenders Woo Jin benefiting from a cover up、 the sinister Ri An transformed into a romantic prince and the truly obnoxious He Ra rescued from a family bankruptcy and suffering the well deserved humiliations of poverty、 while the adults responsible for their birth continue on their sociopathic paths。 meanwhile Jae-I is too good to be true、 finally being transformed into a madonna-like figure of self abnegation and altruism。I admit I don't get the final scene： who was killed and why? maybe revenge on Park Tae Ho (principal's son?) with this and the new principal it seems things are left open for a sequel maybe？
very good drama passed the must watch test but for me could have been completed as a romance and school story in fewer episodes and adding in the thriller part was a mistake
why is it K dramas always have to pitch every angle to keep the drama and audience going for 16 episodes so here they have a romance and school drama but have to focus on thriller action in the last few episodes yes it added excitement but was predictable and I did not need it to keep watching and it did not feel right to twist Ji Dong Hui's character into an unsympathetic psycho serial killer even if they tried to explain why through a back story
episode 11 compared with what went before seems a little too melodramatic、with precocious student、 sudden change in personality by ML and improbable coincidence episode 12 plot development re Ji is a miscalculation I. think、 it does not flow naturally from the early portrayal
as they say, the whole is better than the sum of its parts the concept on which the drama is based of a relationship between a gangster and a cop is absurd、 the police story thriller background hangs together but is unoriginal and rather weak、 this is not only the most unconventional relationship but the most unconventional police unit I have ever seen、 maybe work is so laid back in Taiwan we should all get a work visa there、 but somehow the drama comes together into an enjoyable whole the greatest strength is the endearing romance and characters of Tang Yi, Shao Fei and the second leads、Jack and Zhao Li An .。there is enough mystery to keep you interested and the background bio story brings the story together。final episode is very well done with the right amounts of romance, emotion, love-making and closure。 very enjoyable watch and cute romance and definitely re-watchable in the future。 I only just started watching Taiwan dramas and I also like they are very much more open about gay relationships in public than k drama, j dorama and c drama。💖🌈
a satire on the absurdly competitive korean education system it seems but 、is competition in korean education system really so bad ？and also the bad effect of people's use of predatory social media spreading rumor and lies irresponsibly without regard to the effects on people's lives the formula is like many other dramas of this genre I have watched with tropes like zombifying education industry and entrapment but it is lots of laughs too
Who cares !! live in your sinful minority don't blame us for the truth
