I'd been wanting to watch this for a long time, just from seeing clips—and I've never seen any other School drama. I was really just in the mood for something wholesome and in a school setting, and this definitely accomplished that.

I loved the main leads a lot, and I'd been looking for dramas with this kind of bantering relationship (kind of like Weightlifting Fairy) but this is only the second one I found. I loved the chemistry through, and though I expected a love triangle with the way Dae Hwi was filmed in the beginning, I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't one. I also liked that there wasn't a lot of unnecessary drama, miscommunications, and misunderstandings between them—there was one, which annoyed me—but other than that, they were always really open with each other.

Individually, they were great characters as well. Eun Ho was a really strong female character, and I loved that she always stood up for herself. Tae Woon made my heart melt with all the little things he did. Bo Ra was another character who I loved; even though she definitely pissed me off in the beginning, her character development was so good and I loved her after it.

Sadly though, I'm a little unsatisfied with the ending, and even though it's not sad, exactly, it was still a little bittersweet to me Firstly, the character development for some side characters (like the chairman) seemed a little rushed. Secondly, I wish there was a bigger scene where the students of the school were more united against the corruption. And I wish there was more closure for some of the other bad characters, who I felt never got the bad karma they deserved.
