Finished (part 1): 01.01.2025 - I've been wanting to watch this drama since it was released back in 2023, as I first read the Webtoon when it was being traslated to English in 2015 and absolutely LOVED it. The acting was amazing and it was pretty surpising to see how the high school children behave just like that, like children, and not like some war machines. Can't wait to see part too! Also, and *MAJOR SPOILER*, I LOVED the platoon leader, and I just glad he had his scenes in the last episode without his helmet on, because wow if he isn't a pretty man.

Finished (part 2): 02.01.2025 - Did I binge the whole show? Yeah. Was it worth it? Absolutely! I've read that some people weren't happy with how part 2 was done and how it finished, but I think it was a great as part 1! Of course there's a tone shift after the events that happened before, but I think it was done great, and I really loved the last episode and the ending, as it tried to recreate what happened in the Webtoon too, which is something I missed.
