Best and Most Realistic Teen Webdrama You'll Find!
Best webdrama out there, hands down. Confused by all these other reviews! Season 2 >>>>>> Season 1 by a long shot. Season 1 was more a 6.5-7/10. Season 2 has no cheesy romance lines, no relationship games, a little bit of realistic high school petty drama, and most importantly a lot of realistic teen growth/angst. I definitely acted like them back when I was in my teens (so it annoys me when other reviewers expect them to act like mature, fully developed adults).
If you were most fascinated by the teen romance and triangles from Season 1, then this won't be for you.
If you're looking for a realistic yet lighthearted teen web drama about life struggles, academic stress, goal/soul searching, classmate jealousy, and such, then I highly recommend this. I found myself relating a lot to the struggles the characters experience in school. The plot is well-written and flows naturally. There is only a small emphasis on the romance/crushes, which is super realistic! Especially for your senior year in South Korea! (Did y'all not study your asses off in high school or something? Smh. I think maybe there's a cultural misunderstanding for international viewers regarding the ridiculous academic pressures and importance of senior year of high school. You have to devote your entire life to studying and college prep. There is literally so little time to date or even hang out with friends! Hence the lack of the romantic/friendship storylines! All these other reviews be making no sense.)
I also love the new Jooha and Kimha healthy relationship. No games, just simple easy confessions and wholehearted respect for one another.
Doha's and Siwoo's presence weren't missed as much as I thought they would have been.
Solid OST by SEVENTEEN! The others were great too!
-0.5 points for Hamin's romance plot. He jumped ship so fast regarding his crush. It would've made more sense if he was just chasing Kimha because it felt like he was losing control over everything (girls, grades, friends, etc.), but the drama made it seem like he was genuinely into her, which we all know from Season 1 isn't true.
