ABSOLUTE GEM!

first of all, if you were avoiding this drama because of a potential teacher-student relationship like I was initially, there isn’t one. I repeat,

THERE IS NO TEACHER-STUDENT ROMANCE IN HERE!!

so please go ahead and give this a watch, because you’re missing out on this absolute gem! I can’t remember the last time a kdrama made me laugh this much.

I mainly started watching this for Cha Hak Nyeon (N from VIXX) and Jaehyun from (N.Flying). I went in with zero expectations, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how entertaining it is! now that the drama has finished airing, i will go ahead and tag this as my one of my most favorite kdrama of 2026 so far. from the beginning till the end this stayed entertaining. although I do wish the focus stayed on comedy throughout the second half of the drama as well.

so, this is the story of a regular high school student who writes web novels. when a group of 4 very handsome teachers join the school, she gets hit by inspiration to write a BL novel about them. she uses her real life scenarios and applies them into the story. and it’s freaking HILARIOUS. every single scene she imagines is just so funny. i lost count of how many times it made me laugh out loud😂

I love the dynamics between the teachers and the students. the sports teacher is the most encouraging and sweetest teacher ever! the literature teacher is also so sweet. the Japanese language teacher is cheeky and always joking with the students. meanwhile, the math teacher, the nerdiest and strictest - even though he’s always beefing with his students (especially Euiju) he has the students’ best interest at heart.

Euiju is such an entertaining character to watch! I know a lot of people are bothered by her hairstyle. tbh, i was too when i first watched the trailer. but once i started watching the drama, it didn’t even bother me as much. if anything, it added to her charm and amplified the goofiness of her character.

can i just say how incredibly handsome N (maths teacher) looks in this drama? 😍 this made me fall in love with him all over again🥹

also, the fact that his name is “Ga Woo Su”, which is a wordplay on the famous mathematician Gauss, this is just brilliant 😂 as a university student currently majoring in math, this just makes me appreciate this even more🤣 another wordplay is the FL’s best friend’s name : Choi Go Ya, which in hangeul is “최고야“ which basically means “the best"😂 I’m not sure if this was intentional or a coincidence, but my guess would be the former lol.

with how disappointing kdramas have been for me lately, this was such a breath of fresh air. for the first time in ages, i was genuinely excited for an ongoing kdrama, eagerly waiting for every Friday to come so that I can watch the episodes asap. my Fridays were full of excitement and laughter because of them! now that it’s over, I will miss them dearly🥹

if you’re looking for a light hearted, funny and enjoyable drama, please give this a shot! you will not be disappointed 💕
