Like it has been mentioned before the episodes are about 15 minutes each. It is like watching a movie - timewise.
Now, off to search who these kids are. :)

Yeah probably the storyline isn't outstanding, but it know how to keep your intrest up!
Maybe (Just maaaybe) my opinion is a bit influenced by the handsomeness of the main characters, but I mean.... did you se them???
Apart from this the story in it's overall it's really funny and full of nonsense that will make you laugh and wonder what will they came up with next!
Making a scheme of my opinion i would say
Acting:
They weren't perfect but more I think about the fact that they are just newbie came out from a competition program the more I like them. Other than this they are really handsome, (did I alredy said that?) and that will fill what is laking in their acting. :3
Storyline:
Even if it isn't outstanding, i really appreciated its originality and how it made me die from laughing!
Music:
They weren't many but the singing improvvisations were really something! I like their voices.
Ending:
Should I say that? haha I won't spoil don't worry!
In any case since it's a commedy it won't let you cry from disappointment, but it isn't totally predictable! Sincerly I liked the ending, but this is as much as I will say!
So in the end let's all give a try to this drama I'm sure the most of you will like it!

Story | 5 high school students have an exclusive club where they pick a mission for each day and have to complete them all by a certain time. The leading lady, So Eun, becomes involved and helps the guys complete the missions given to them. It is literally a very basic plot. Extremely basic actually, but with something so simple that the writer(s?) were able to expand greatly and even though the story isn't anything special, it ended up being a feel good drama.
Cast | I knew 5urprise were all actors/singers but I didn't realize they all did a series together. They all had specific type of roles and the characteristics and personalities fit everyone perfectly. Kim So Eun was a pleasant surprise. I didn't realize that was her until she took her glasses off. I loved the chemistry she had with all the male leads! I liked her character development the best. It wasn't too fast or too slow thankfully. They put her at a nice pace and her character was quite enjoyable to watch.
Music | Ah. Great thing about having actors who sing, they can sing all the OSTs and I really loved them all! Hey U Come On was my favorite song from the drama.
Rewatch | definitely. it's so short and extremely easy to get through. It was also a nice break from all the typical melodramatic dramas i've been watching lately.
Overall | Such a nice drama. The first few episodes I kept saying - why. why am I watching this?! - but it was nice to see an actual story develop, character chemistry develop and watch something that had more fun elements than dramatic. I do wish this drama was less of a dramatoon (is that the right word?) and more of an actual drama. With the same elements of course. Again, the story was easy and simple to follow,so maybe I just enjoy school dramas more than I should. I really loved watching this cast together and the random cameos. If you're in a drama slump, I highly suggest watching this to get you by!

(4 Bite-Sized Back To School K-Dramas)
and thought i'd make my way down the list. It is a really funny and a veeeerrrrrry random show especially if you've seen some of these guys act in other dramas e.g Lee Tae Hwa, who played a stoic bodyguard in 'Please, come back mister' or Seo Kang Joon in 'Cheese in the trap' it seems so out of character but you can tell they enjoyed acting this out.
There's a point when I thought 'oh sh*t this is getting deep' then....nope....the weird doves appeared and made me laugh! I finished this drama in 2 sittings as I had work and during the day I couldn't help but find myself thinking 'cant wait to go back and finish that drama'.
I definitely recommend if you are looking for comedy and randomness....especially if you are watching this because you've seen these guys in other dramas so you want to just watch another one......it will surprise you.
NOW ONTO THE SECOND SEASON WOOP!!!

For this the acting was also well done, and the romantic chemistry between Kim So Eun and Seo Kang Joon. The chemistry between the 5urprise members was well portrayed.

It was a refreshingly simple and short ride of emotions
This web drama isn't perfect but it really covered quite a lot of things in a short period of time. It's just funny, simple but with depth.Plotwise since this is a fantasy drama as well a lot of things doesn't makes sense when you think about reality but it's surely damn hilarious. I really enjoyed the comedic factor of this drama making it light. The flow of the story comes naturally so you can easily relate to it and also it gave justice to the whole concept in just a short period of time.
The chemistry among the characters are also good. I just wish they put more story about individual characters aside from the titles they were given to begin with. I find myself wanting to know more about them which proves that this is great. I rarely get curious beyond what's already been told unless I'm so into it.
This is a great drama that also feels like a movie and you can watch it in just one sitting without feeling burdened because each episode is only 14-minute long. You can even watch it on a short break.

Btw i loved the chemistry between the two, i’m a big sucker for romance and even though there isn’t a lot you still get the fufilled amount just by watching and tell by their acting and the story line. It’s one of the best.

2013 Review:This web drama is very over the top and ridiculous. At first, the ridiculous seemed to be just that, ridiculous. There was no clear motive behind any of the main characters behavior. And that was perfectly fine. Sometimes you just need to watch something funny and not have to think about it. But as the story went along, the drama revealed a surprising amount of heart.
Each young man is a caricature of a stereotype layered on top of said stereotype. There’s the brain, the ‘charismatic star’ (whatever that means), the artist, the sportsman, and the flower boy. Together they create an entirely hilarious and unique set of characters that you just can’t help but love.
In other words, they are adorable. Really inappropriate, but adorable.
Kim So Eun pretty much embodies the awkward, shy, quiet high school girl. She’s adorable and real and someone I totally would have been friends with if she had gone to my school. If my loud voice and opinionated and argumentative ways didn’t scare her off first, that is.
The interesting thing about this web drama is that for about the first four or five episodes, you really have no idea who the female lead could end up with. She could end up with any of them. She could end up with none of them. With most dramas, the romantic set up is clear. This character is going to end up with this character. I appreciated how After School subverted this typical drama set up.
They did trick you later on in the series as the lead started to fall for one of the boys while two of them started to fall for her. Of course, it didn’t really matter who you liked better because….
She doesn’t end up with anyone, lol.
The idea of this group of young men continuing their club in honor of their dead friend was very touching though. Granted, the dead friend they were doing all of the missions for came off as kind of a jerk to me once we finally met him. ‘Hey, Kang Joon, don’t like this girl you clearly like, because…I like her. And obviously, I have more right to like her then you do. Cause that’s how friendship works!’ *fake smile and hold up a thumb* No. That’s not how friendship works.
But they’re teenagers, and teenagers don’t act rationally when they have crushes, so what are you gonna do?
I do need to add a caveat/warning here. There is a mini storyline part of the way through that involves a joke making light of child molestation. I don’t remember it being a very long moment in the story, but the joke is legitimately offensive.
All in all, this is an odd little web drama. And that is definitely the highest compliment. With the exception of the molestation story, and the fact that the female lead doesn’t actually end up with anyone, I loved everything about this show. Every five seconds I was bursting into laughter. Every five seconds I was going ‘This is such a weird show.’ Every five seconds I was a little offended by the boys and some of their behavior. I marathoned the whole thing in two days. It took me two days, because I was trying to be responsible and not spend my entire weekend in front of my computer screen. (That and I needed a break after the molestation episode.)
I highly recommend this drama for anyone who loves stories that play with stereotypes and that have an over the top sense of humor. It’s a fun watch.

I was surprised that the drama actually talked about more serious topics in the later episodes though, and I did enjoy the vibe of it, though plot-wise there wasn't much development (which is understandable considering the shortness of the drama).
If you're looking for anything with actual substance, I'm not sure I'd recommend this.
