Unique story, great acting, poor execution.

Starting off with the good points, I enjoyed learning more on the educational system in Korea. That aspect felt very unique. The acting was also superb. However, there's only so much that the actors can do. While the story was interesting, it was dragged unnecessarily and just when things started to get interesting in the last two episodes, the story quickly ended.

Additionally, based on the promotion of this drama, I expected it to be more heavily centred around their romantic relationship, however I didn't find it to be the central part of the show.

Overall, the show dragged and the pacing was strange. While I appreciate the idea behind it, I think it was not executed to its full potential.

Slow and poorly written

There were two aspects which I enjoyed about this drama, namely Rowoon's performance as the male lead and the dynamics and relationships of the side characters in the story, ironically enough, way more than that of the main couple of the story.

The female lead was confusing and very hard to connect to and understand and so it was very hard to root for her throughout. The story did not help as it dragged on and nothing of significance truly happened.

Would not recommend.
