I dunno if this really is my type of drama but it has Lee Jong Suk so I am going to try watch it till end. Honestly best part of this episode is LJS and the teacher

What a brutal class! I don't know if such class exist in real world. Although some situations I can relate to, because I ever became a student and a teacher.
This class is a chaos and mess. Example there are situations like a male student like using his uniform backward and he jumps all around, students don't show respect to their teachers, female students bring and use their make-up in the class. Even a brutal student who did violence to his teacher and his classmate. Really out of control. And I don't understand why the title is School 2013 but It's just focused on one class.
This drama reminds me of Once Upon a Time in High School movie.
I was interested with this drama because I want to see
Lee Jong Suk's acting. I am looking forward to watching more episodes, so I can decide whether this drama is interesting or not. But for the beginning, I think It's intriguing enough.

This reminded me a lot of GTO. Surprisingly, I thought it was really interesting, though.
I like that it does have some comedy but concentrates on being realistic. Otherwise I wouldn't have liked it as much.
I can't say much about the characters yet but Nam Soo seems interesting and I even like the teacher! I never like the teachers. At least not the female ones.
Looking forward to the next episode! (Let's see what this is even all about. :P)

Did Oh Jung Ho just do that to a teacher?? I kinda dont like watching asian shows/movies like this b/c I know if the same situation happened in America, it would have been on and popping, smh. And the fact that NO ONE tried to stop him?! UGH!!!I dont like injustice and I dont like cowards (in shows/movies, i mean).

I normally do not watch HS dramas because being older, they are too juvenile for me. But this one? WOAH! Not sure I'd last teaching here. Jang NaRa and Choi Daniel back together again is very exciting. Nam Soon, behind him 100%, The bully, Jong Ah? What is his story? Can't wait to hear it as his character is beyond scary! When he confronted the teacher and actually touched her I was appalled! I think I am here for the duration!

This is very different from the typical high school drama that I'm used to seeing and that's what got me interested in the first place. For the first episode the writer absolutely did not hold back any punches and went right into the topic of bullying and having apathetic teachers. I can't tell you how many times I was cursing at my computer about Oh Jung Ho and how I really wanted to jump in the scene and really beat is a$$, I was so happy when In Jae finally slapped him even though she felt bad about it afterwards. I really love Go Nam Soon having to deal with a drunken father he just wants to get by in school without getting into anybody's business but he's such a good guy that he can't help but get involved when he sees someone being tormented. All in all I have really high hopes and high expectations of this drama and I'm looking forward to more episodes. That last scene really shocked me.

Wow, where do I begin? I mean, the expectation I held for this drama has certainly been met..possibly exceeded. The only thing that saddens me is that KWB is not in this ep. On the bright side, there sure was a lot of Lee Jong Suk *^* hehe
The actors were phenomenal, and right off the bat, it's apparent that this drama is no joke. It is very VERY realistic and its tone is just as serious. I am officially hooked!
Plot: 9/10
This is what a 1st ep should be. Already we know the basis of the story--raise students' grades to raise school's rank. In the mean time, turn students into respectable-ready for the world-young adults. This ep was definitely suspenseful..several moments, it just builds and builds and >.< SO worth your time. *Hint..straight up, I wanted to be the sh*t out of Jung Ho! In fact, I still do >:]
Actors/Characters: 10/10
Characters are legit and understandable. From supporting to main, I can't think of anything bad tbh. Ep predominantly focused on 3 characters:
>Nam Soon..my hero~ ;) When others stand by n do nothing, he's there to save the day. Well rounded, very likeable..can't wait to see more! Also, LJS is SO much taller than all the other actors o_O
>Jung Ho (bully) imo is like a stock character. Granted not much is really revealed about him, but it's kind of implied that he is the stereotypical bully--comes from a not so perfect background (imo probably abusive or neglected-type) so he takes advantage of the weak in order to prove superiority..blah blah the usual. Still, that's just my theory and I do think he's an interesting character because it's just not 'for sure' why he is the way he is.
>In Jae, a teacher without confidence but has the greatest sincerity to help her students. There were times (several!) when I wanted to take her place and seriously take charge of the class..discipline some students, etc. Rooting for her to gain confidence and respect from students^^ Very likeable and sympathetic.
...Then there's Choi Daniel's character..you should see for your self :) Also Choi Daniel and Jang Na Ra's reunion was so cute!

This was a really exciting first episode. A lot of things happened. However, it doesn't give off the same feeling as Reply 1997. It's very different. Reply 1997 was more innocent and happy. This show is more serious and a bit dark. Now, I don't mix well with serious and dark, so I'm hoping the show doesn't become too dark. However, I did get a bit annoyed with In Jae, but at the same time I sympathized with her. She wants to do what is best for the kids, but she is allowing herself to be harmed to do it. I love Nam Soon though. He's definitely a very rounded characters with many sides to him. At first I thought he was a smart goody-two shoes, but it turns out that's not the case. What disappointed me the most though was that Kim Woo Bin didn't show up. Boooo. Hopefully he comes in soon.
