I'm going to keep this short because I'm sure there will be hundreds of reviews for it. I had never read the webtoon, had no idea what the story was about, and rarely watch high school dramas anymore, but I kept seeing this promoted on the Viki for weeks and decided to watch an episode to give it a try. I ended up watching nine episodes over a weekend. I was surprised by how much this drama made me laugh out loud! The supporting cast is stellar and full of memorable characters, and some of the characters who felt over-the-top in the very beginning grew on me. But what surprised me were the more serious storylines, the trauma that Ju Gyeong experiences from being bullied, and the pain that Su Ho and Seo Jun feel due to their friend's suicide. There were many moments that moved me and brought tears to my eyes. The last two episodes felt disappointing to me, but overall I enjoyed this drama a lot.

Also, I have to say how impressed I was by Hwang In Yeop, who I had never seen before. He pulled off humor, attitude, and pain so well, and really made you love his character Seo Jun.
