This drama has that sort of main actress that just really annoys you and just totally gets on your nerves completely (or well that's how I felt like)..
When I started watching this drama I never really expected too much of it. I started watching it and thought the beginning was kinda interesting but the main actress was already starting to get annoying.. Ah, Im not hating on the actress but really, her character pissed me off so much that I dropped around half way of the drama, although I picked it up again, just after a few episodes I dropped once again.. But then since there were only just a few episodes left I decided to pick it up again for the last time. The reason that kept me watching really was because of Mukai Osamu and Mitzushima Hiro (two of my favorite actors). But then the ending was so bad though, it was all so rushed..
So really, there's an annoying main lead, most acting was average, although its comedy I hardly laughed at all, the music wasn't anything special, the drama really bored me, like it just could've been alot better! I mean, here you have a group of good actors, an unique story, why couldn't it have been better? Honestly I find this drama a bit overrated.. >__

After watching soooo many High School dramas they all stated to get a bit repetitive and kinda boring after a while as some of the story lines are so cliche.. First when I had a look at this drama I was doubting it a bit but as soon as i started watching it, from the first episode I got hooked straight away! It was just fantastic from the first episode and on.

I find the story very good in this drama, its very intense! But that makes the drama good! Its also very realistic, so realistic you can relate to a lot of stuff in this drama. I think this is what makes the drama so insanely good, having a too unrealistic story can sometimes be quite hard to relate to and you don't quite understand the feeling that the character is having unlike in this drama, there are so many characters living with different types of families and life situations, an alcoholic and abusive parent, a mom who is really pushy with studies and school, a parent who's never home, divorced parents, no money, bullying, fights, friendship problems, every type of life situation you could think of.
In the drama you don't only see how the students are having it, but also the problems the teachers are facing, making big decisions as a teacher etc etc.
HOWEVER, although this is a high school drama, don't expect romance (as for yet..). If you're a person really into romance dramas (like me!) please don't let this drama down even if there isn't really any romance, you will seriously NOT regret it!

Moving onnnnn.... Starting with the cast of this drama, I don't believe they could've picked a better cast, I simply cannot imagine the characters being played by any other actor. They are all PERFECT for their roles, oh and not to mention a lot of them are very good looking! Not only that, their acting is sooo good too!! These guys can actually cry! And I mean GUYS! Even the bad boy guys are crying (well their eyes are getting all teary and swollen)! Like can you believe that?! Sometimes acting out crying can be very tricky, it either turns out too fake and dramatic or too emotionless, but these guys just hit it spot on! Every time they cry, you WILL cry too because their acting is so emotional and realistic. So prepare to have a pillow to hug and some tissues if you're gonna watch it!
Another very good act they do is jealousy and fear, they don't even have to use their whole face to make the expression, you can see the expression in their eyes! This is also a very skillful thing in acting as many don't completely get this right in some other dramas I've watched.
HOWEVER... There are some characters(very few) who you will find ANNOYING.. In many dramas you will quite often find that one annoying mean girl bitch, but luckily you don't get to see her that much (phew, hate those characters..).
So really about the cast and acting, I was surprised by the amazing acting as many of the actors are very young (not like that makes them any bad, but more inexperienced I'd say) and it seems like this is their first drama they're acting in so I'm quite amazed by their good acting.

As for the music, I don't exactly pay much attention to that so I'm afraid I can't say much about it, except that it wasn't bad..

And Rewatch Value, I will most likely watch this drama over and over again once it ends.

Overall I give this drama a 10 as it has become my favorite drama so far out of all (somewhere over) 70ish dramas I've watched. This is seriously a MUST WATCH drama! You just HAVE TO watch it! It IS an intense and a tear jerking drama, but also has its cute and funny moments every now and then that may make you giggle.
By the way, if you like dramas like Gokusen and GTO you will most DEFIANTLY like this drama. Actually, if you will most likely like School 2013, whichever drama you like, you will like this one too! Oh and not only younger people, even adults!

I really liked this drama although it wasn't the best it was still touching and cute.
So I'll start with the good points: The acting was amazingly good, it was perfect, Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo was a completely perfect couple! They all played their roles so well and I was crying in every scene they cried in :'( The character developments were really good too :)
I liked the way you would find out things slowly and not just all at once and getting to know the connections between all the characters.
Another amazing thing was the music, it fitted perfectly for every scene it played in, I loved it and once again.. I cried by the sorrowful music playing at the sad parts (gosh I think my eyes are completely dried out after all the crying.. oh and be aware, I'm a complete cry baby..) Aaah aaah! The drama is not all that sad! Its comedy after all! They always had a scene in every episode that made me laugh (well not every but most) and the beginning was hilarious ;)
Now for the bad points: Although the story was very interesting I think it was too long to keep it up for 16 episodes (well they could've made it more interesting and slower through the end..) I think it was all too rushed and a bit confusing.. :/ I think the only problem really with this drama is the script, if the scrip would've been a bit different it could all have turned into an outstanding drama!
Overall, the story was interesting but could've been scripted better, the misunderstandings, cast, music and the cute & touching parts were all good. Its not a bad drama but its not perfect either considering from all hundred other dramas I've watched I think this one is pretty decent ;)
