a very short drama with dark high school vibes. it was about series of mysterious events happening at the school after a temporary teacher arrived. at first it was interesting, i want to know what will happen to the student but then it gets repetitive. it's not a big deal anyways since it is super short. i love how they relate the events to the students's greed and most desperate wish. but the ending was kinda ??? watched this because of minhyuk, and not disappointed he's such a heart eyes. anyways if you need short series to binge go ahead and watch this one.

Very exciting but not too scary.

In some parts you can get chills, but its a good filler drama between others. I enjoyed watching it. I finished it in one day. It tells a good life lesson that not all things you desire will bring positivity and happiness. To be your true self is key. " nightmares exist to heal the problems that happen in reality. " there isnt much to say abouy this besides it was fun to watch, and i would recommend to a friend. (I already have.... lol) there are things i disliked about it. (Of course i cant say much because this was made back in 2016.) One. If there were more episodes and the scenea were less rushed i would have enjoyed more. K that's all i have to say bye!

Underrated Series with Compelling Stories

This series truly deserves more recognition; it's a hidden gem that often goes unnoticed. I thoroughly enjoyed every episode, each of which presented compelling stories that not only entertained but also imparted valuable lessons. The depth and richness of the narratives were truly commendable, and I found myself captivated by the unique insights each episode offered.

What sets this series apart is not just its entertaining plots, but also the thoughtful lessons woven into each storyline. The writers did an exceptional job of crafting narratives that resonate on a deeper level, leaving viewers with not only an enjoyable viewing experience but also meaningful takeaways.

The performances by the cast were nothing short of outstanding. The actors brought the characters to life with a level of skill and nuance that elevated the series to a whole new level. Their commitment to their roles was evident in every scene, making the viewing experience truly immersive and memorable.

In addition to the engaging plots and stellar performances, the series stood out for its attention to detail and production quality. The cinematography, set design, and overall aesthetics were top-notch, contributing to the overall excellence of the show.

All in all, this underrated series is a true gem that combines compelling storytelling, valuable life lessons, and exceptional acting. It's a must-watch for anyone who appreciates quality television that goes beyond mere entertainment.

fun episodic little sideshow

both the acting and the plot are pretty standart. what is nice, that until the end you can not say if you expect a happy or a bad ending. the nice thing about the individual stories is (suspension of disbelieve about the 'abilities') that i can see it happening in real life.

but the different parts are done well and will keep you entertained, this is helped by the fact that one episode each is rather short.

so yeah, go for it

the music was nothing noteworthy, but did also not disract and fit well. there is little to no rewatch value as far as i can see given the overall story is quite simple

"Who's your wife?"

This drama was good to watch, I won't lie. There was a good plot, I personally didn't find any plot holes, and I liked how each episode focused on different victims of the teacher instead of multiple episodes on person or vice versa.

Ye Rim's role kind of confused me, nothing really happened to her. All she did was figure out that something weird was going on because of the stuff her classmates left behind before they disappeared. Sang Woo is cute, always calling Ye Rim wife. Teacher Han's role also confused me, like was this man a demon or not? And when Ye Rim saved everyone, he just...I don't know how to explain it without spoiling it, but he did what he did. I liked the stories of the other students, they were realistic in a way. I liked Do Hee's story especially, I would like a book like hers, but I know better than to actually accept on if it ever came to it.

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Everything about this show is terrific – the writing, direction and acting. Each story is told for you to take your own lessons from them without being patronizing and or depressingly traumatic. Every time I watch a drama with at least one of the issues dealt with in this show, they usually do it in a way that's at least one or the other.

I watched this over a couple of days and after every story, I had to take a break in order to let everything sink in before I moved on to the next story. And this is what makes the show great for me. Is that it makes you think and leaves an impression on you.

I enjoyed this Kdrama but it wasn't anything special. It reminded me of goosebumps with each individual story, each revolving around some morals.
It was fun to watch and because the episodes are so short it didn't feel tiresome.
Even though I did enjoy this it was still just an "okay" drama. It wasn't very deep, the characters weren't that interesting and I didn't feel like the plot was very well developed. The acting was good for what they had to work with.
I feel like the ending could have been explained instead of just left to hang. I'm still confused from the final episode.
Overall this is a decent drama and I would recommend it if you're looking for a short series to watch to entertain yourself, but it could have been better.

I actually really liked this drama! :D the storyline was really good and each episode would leave you wondering what happened and you would be trying to figure out what the teacher is up to gradually over the drama. the music was fitting for what the drama was. I would definitely watch this again.

After watching these 12 episodes, It was disappointing. Honestly, I watched this drama just because of Kim So Hyun but end up there isn't enough acting from hers in this drama. So if you want to watch a drama which is from Kim so hyun, then I recommend (Who Are You, 2015) .

Things I liked from this drama:
-The idea on how the setting and storyline was set
-It gives you a mysterious feeling (kind of thriller somehow)
-If you like thriller types of drama than this is a good choice.

Things that I disliked:
-It would start to be a bit boring in the middle of the drama, cause it's kind of repeating the same action but just with different characters.
-The drama doesn't make any sense for me
-There isn't enough acting time for Kim so hyun and Lee min hyuk (BTOB)

From my opinion, if you like either or both of the main role characters than give this drama a try!

I'm going to keep this short like the series.

I was intrigued by such short episodes and decided to give this a go in one sitting.

I was pretty sure I knew what was going on from the first episode. After the first couple of episodes I honestly wanted to potentially drop this and move to something better, but given the length I decided to just power through.

It was interesting, then there was a twist that made the entire series not worth a rewatch or a recommendation from me personally. A big letdown. :(

This series has a good concept going for it but the plot and story telling is very weak. Each episode is independent to itself which means we don't actually have a main character or protagonist to follow. The premise is also not explained really well, seems like the idea was created for the sole purpose to luring people to watch this but everything around the story is pretty half-assed.

Not only that, every episode is similar to each other. It almost felt like the show was trying to hypnotize my brain. I only finished this because I really wanted it to be good.

Don't recommend. If you must watch it, stop after the first episode.
