School dramas are definitely my favorite kind, but this one was special. Mostly centered on the rise and fall of an unfixable friendship, it doesn't stretch out the same one plot for sixteen episodes risking to make it lame and repetitive. Different stories are told, just like different stories happen in one high school class. Each of these plots lead back to friendship in the end, but none of them is like the previous one, as they all touch a second different topic, reminding us we're never the only ones who suffer although not everyone has to face the same kind of hardship we're going through. This drama is original, true, bitter, at times shocking, but also inspiring, hopeful and fun like the age of its protagonists. I appreciate the complete absence of romance, not because i don't enjoy it but because it's a nice change in kdramas standards. At times it seems ridiculous the ability this school has to find a reason to expell someone every other day, but nevertheless the screenplay keeps the suspence up until the very last minute. And there's no reason to deny or hide it: the bromance will kill you over and over again. This drama is a jewel.
