Perfection!

I have a soft spot for kids doing well in acting (makes me cry every time since I know how hard it is), and seeing the energy from the students and the passion of the teachers I can confirm I have not teared up this much in ages while watching korean tv.

No notes on the show. Perfect mix of classes, fun activities, cooking and just getting to know everyone on the show. The dedication from Kim Tae-Ri is so inspiring, no one told her told her to do so much research or care this much, it really shows her love for the craft of acting (give her more awards pls!). Choi Hyun-Wook being so young as he is and being there for all these kids was beautiful to see. Kangnam and Code Kunst was the perfect balance for this show as well. All of the kids are such strong characters as well and made me so happy to be able to follow them.

I want a another season so bad, or at least an episode where they all just meet up again!

Drama! Tears! Laughter! Heart!

This show has more drama & tears than a melodrama and more laughs than a comedy! If you're not moved by it, then you've got a heart of stone!

The very cute kids, and teachers, pulled off a miracle by putting on a play in only 2 weeks. I felt so proud watching the final performance.

I was a big fan of Kim Taeri beforehand, and this show has increased my admiration even more! Her passion, hard work, sincerity, empathy and enthusiasm are inspiring.

It's a shame that the initial marketing focused on the conflict between Kim Taeri & Choi Hyun-Wook over their different attitudes to the acting classes, so that put many people off and the viewership ratings were disappointingly low. Those ratings don't reflect the quality of the show, and it's well worth watching this heartwarming project.

I watched it mainly because of Hyunwook, but as time went by, I started looking forward to it not just for Hyunwook, but to see what would happen next with the kids.
I didn't know this program would make me cry and that I'd grow so fond of the children too. Hoping that by now, the school has gotten a transfer student or new enrollee so it won't shut down.
Watching this program with good intentions, and it also made me realize something in life that's very warm in my heart.

I feel warmth again

Real. Everything with the kids is so beautiful and inspiring. I came for Choi but Kim Taeri absolutely put all her heart into this project. She really wanted this project to be a fun and inspiring experience for the kids. Love her for that. Choi Hyun Wook definitely did not expect his role to be so important but he has shown growth through the days. Kangnam oppa is matured and reliable, glad that he joined and became the mediator between teacher and students. Also props to Code Kunst for the music and Chef An.

Also disappointed how this show was promoted with the disagreement in teaching style and values between Kim Taeri and Choi Hyun Wook, it did not do the show justice!!
