Felt like a drama recap were if you haven't watched the drama you wouldn't feel the connection

Such a missed opportunity! I was so excited seeing the leads and so disappointed as I finished the movie.
The story is your usual youth stories, the main characters were really interesting, the hopless playboy, the female school leader, and the mysterious new Seoul girl. They had so much potential but got totally sidetracked by the mix of everything in a small pot.
Like so many side stories shouldn't have been there because we got barely any attachment to anyone in the movie. The 2nd female lead had an interesting story that was left vague and never told.. even the fl was kinda never really explored. The story losses the way from the very beginning, you end up not knowing what was all of this about.
Like there are even characters (the beared guy who's always in MLs house) that serve no purpose but to take up screentime as if the movie has alot to spare!
6/10 It's watchable until the end
Rewatch value : never

after watching this movie i wonder why this is in the comedy category?!? cause it aint hilarious or even funny, yeah u laugh once in a while, but u also do so in any genre, even in horror flicks there r funny bits, doesn't make it a comedy.

this was kinda sad. especially given the FL's back-story and life in general. as tough as she seems to be, that's how fragile she really is. found that endearing and heart breaking.
the movie is written and "shot" in a way that took a while to really know the characters, everything is unclear at the beginning (even towards the middle) and u go by what u see.

there r the bullies or Queen Badass Young Sook and her male counterpart Kwang Shik, who run sh*t and r in an alliance. not romantically involved, even though Kwang Shik begs-to-differ.

then there is Joong Gil the player, who needs to flirt and "get it on" with every girl in school. he was childhood buds with Young Sook, and is her childhood sweetheart. who she is not so secretly pining over. add fire to the flame by adding So Hee, a supposedly fragile sick girl transferring from the big city. and of course she has to be drop-dead-gorgeous (not in my personal opinion, cause even as a mean-girl Young Sook's baby-face wins), so Joong Gil who needs to conquer every girl in the vicinity, will fall head-over-heels for.

this is what u see, and then in the middle u start to get more info about each character that changes ur view and opinion about them.

the ending reminded me off Officer and A Gentleman with Richard Gere and Debra Winger, which was cute but not executed for full effect, as in the American movie mentioned. but positive ending, so whatever.

I went into this movie thinking it was going to be similar to the reply series, however it was quite different. There's a less-modern style because the movie takes place in late 1900s, but the plotline is similar to the youth and childhood friend turned to lover type. At first I didn't like the main girl, but she turns more likeable and the second lead becomes a big red flag lol. The acting is great :) lee jongsuk never fails to impress and kim boyoung is really cute as usual heh I recommend watching this movie, however, it's not good enough to be considered an amazing piece that's unforgettable.

Park Bo Young’s character is hilariously badass. The way she rules the neighbourhood across multiple schools.
I like the idea of the story being about the king and queen of the school that don’t really cross paths. Young Sook leads the girls and Joong Il leads the boys and there is clear segregation.

The girls have a very structured hierarchy and order to their gang. The boys are rather scared of them.

“You’re Gwang Sik’s girl.”
“Who says? We just have an alliance.”

COULD'VE BEEN GREAT

I would like to start off by saying I completely enjoyed this. The story is amazing and not once did I take my eyes off the screen. It's intriguing to the point you even forget it's 2hrs long. Like the headline says it could've been great. Before reaching the end I had already awarded this a 10/10 read..but of course, they had to sprinkle a bit of fatphobia that added NOTHING to the original plot. It definitely wasn't needed and it would've been perfect without it. Did I enjoy watching it? Yes. Would I rewatch it? Probably not.

This is a movie that understands teen angst. It’s portrayal of gang culture is a little suspect, but with great camerawork, acting, writing, and serious heart, this movie just gets being a teenager right.

(Music is 1 because I don't remember what the music was like.)

It was actually really good.there's fight scenes from beginning to end. Not even the good kind but the crazy kind. Lee jong suk is the schools playboy and the girls swoon over him until it starts getting complicated and things become difficult when jealousy is involved. Lots of laughs too with school boys and the teacher.

This review may contain spoilers

É....... o que dizer dessa marmota.

A verdade seja dita: só me predispus a assisti-lo porque queria ver o casal épico formado por "Bong bong e Sukinho"... tô até hoje procurando esse casal que não teve.

Assim, eu aconselho você assistir isso:
1. Se você é muito fã tanto da Bo Young quanto do Suk e quer ter o título de "assisti tudo deles" como eu.
2. Se você quer adquirir experiência em filmes/dramas ruins.
3. Ou então se você simplesmente gosta de perder seu tempo.

Resumindo o drama: o único personagem que prestou foi a Bong bong e eu dei 4,5 só por causa do elenco, que é formado por atores maravilhosos que eu amo, adeus!

Concluído por mim: 24/12/21
