I wanted to watch this because I'm trying to watch all of Dew's works otherwise, I never would've checked it as I've never heard of it before. I thoroughly enjoyed this show a lot. I thought the concept was pretty cool, the characters were all really interesting, and the acting was pretty good as well. I did recognize quite a few actors from this which is always fun.

I will say the last few episodes or so, I didn't like as much as I liked the rest of the season. Once half the students were missing, I think it lost a bit of what made the show good which was the students' interactions. It wasn't bad or anything, I just didn't love it like I did before that happened. I also thought having Zero show up at the end was kind of stupid, maybe they thought they were getting another season though.

I thought the lessons they were being taught to help them prepare for the real world was really cool. Some were better than others, some were just cruel, but still I liked that aspect a lot. Obviously, I didn't like them being punished, but it added something interesting to the show. I really liked the show a lot and would recommend it a lot, especially if you like any of the actors.

Characters: (Spelling I'm going off of what they have on here lol)

Maki: I really liked Maki as the main character. She was so smart, kind, and determined. She wasn't afraid to stand up against the master's for what she thought was right either which I loved. I liked her relationship with our core four group a lot (plus Pheng and Penneung) and her relationship with her brother was really sweet too. Her and Tibet were quite cute together too even though we never got anything of them being a couple.

Tibet: I loved him! I love how caring he was towards everyone. He's also pretty smart and I liked how he was more of a realistic thinker. I think the group really needed that sometimes. I loved our core four as well as his relationship with Pheng and Penneung. He literally saved Pheng's life. I feel bad about his mother dying while he was gone. I'm glad he got to know a bit about his dad too during the show. His crush on Maki was so cute!! I enjoyed his relationship with Nai the most I can't lie. They were always together and it was so adorable.

Nai: The whole reason I watched the show to begin with and I'm glad I really liked his character. Nai was definitely not the smartest, especially out of our core group, but I loved how caring he was as well as him being ready to fight for his friends even if it meant him getting in trouble. Got to give him major props for lasting as long as he did in the fight against Master Champ, he really stuck it out. Again, loved his relationship with the core group and especially Tibet (They would be cute together too but maybe that's just me). His crush on White was so cute, and I love that you can tell he fell quite hard for her. The confession of the two of them on the stairs at the end was really fun.

White: I loved her so much! Her random English was really funny, she was such a baddie and so caring too. She really was ready to do anything for the people she cared about and I loved that. I haven't mentioned it yet, but I loved her friendship with Maki. They had such a good bestie relationship, and I feel like you don't always see that with girls, I feel like it's always just focused on romantic relationships. I love the core group as well as her relationship with Nai, like I mentioned before. Other than Pheng, I think she had the closest relationship with Penneung and liked their interactions a lot.

Penneung: My baby!! He might be my favorite I'm not going to lie. He is so intelligent and so caring. His love for croissants was so adorable! His actor did a great job with his character; I have to give major props there. I think it's really cute that he had a crush on Pheng at the end (I think she felt the same too). I was really happy when he joined our main group because I loved his character a lot. I hated seeing him get picked on some of the people in the beginning and I'm glad by the end they all were friendly towards him. We saw the most growth in relationships with him I feel.

Pheng: I'm not going to lie I didn't care for Pheng too much. She did get a bit better at the end, but she was just too whiny for me. Most of the time she was on screen she was whining about something, it was so annoying. Her whole episode where it revealed she does a lot of stuff for attention didn't surprise me at all; she just gave that vibe anyway. After she almost committed, she did get better a little bit. I liked her relationship with Biu and especially with Penneung.

Hugo: He was quite the asshole throughout a lot of the show, but I will say his love for Jingjai was really sweet. I love that he always called her beauty, that was so cute. The scene of the two of them by the water towards the end of the show really showed a different side of them both that I really liked.

Jingjai: Similar to Hugo, I didn't like her throughout most of the show and then after the lake scene, I'd say I found them tolerable. I loved everything she said during her classes with just a couple of the girls and Headmaster. I loved that.

Fuji: There were times I liked Fuji and times I didn't. I liked how badass and strong she was, but there were times I really questioned what she was thinking. For the most part I did like her though. I thought she would be more important, but she really got hardly any screentime in the second half of the show (and I don't just mean when she was taken).

Mek: & Mok: Putting them in the same one because I have the hardest time these twins apart. I've seen them individually in a bunch of things and could never tell which was which until I'd look it up and having them both in the same series made it impossible for me. Once I noticed how they were dressing differently, I could tell who who was. I liked how similar but different they were. They were quite unimportant to the show to be honest. They could've not existed and I think the show would've been pretty much the same in my opinion. I did like them both though. I was glad they were starting to fix their relationship by the end because the physical fight between them was so rough. They added some humor to the show too which I liked.

Biu: I really liked her! She was really fun and caring. I thought her crush on Jean at the end was sweet. Her friendship with Pheng was really cute too. I get why she was mad at Pheng for a bit, I would be too, but I was happy they made up.

Jean: Man was actually the least important character. I liked him with Biu, he did have a good friendship with Jingjai and Hugo, but once they dated, he wasn't with them a lot anymore. The second half of the show I didn't have a problem with him, he just didn't add anything at all. He was definitely more likable though towards the end since he was a bully in the beginning.

Run: I loved seeing Gun. His character Run was pretty cool. I have mixed feelings on him saying Amin felt like a father and him taking over Home School. I feel like they should've shown us more flashbacks of the two of them bonding in the past to show how hurt Run was by Amin locking him up. I would've loved to see more of him and Maki together as well since it was the whole reason Maki went to Home School to begin with.

Amin: I knew there had to be something going on with him because a lot of times what he was doing, even if it was a bit messed up, it never to me felt like he had really bad intensions so I was glad to see that he was a lot better and was actually just being controlled.

Yani/Headmaster: Kind of like Amin, I from the start just thought she had good intensions and truly cared for the kids. We even saw that with how she would question Amin a bit with the treatment of Run. I really loved her classes with just the couple girls, it made me like her a lot more than I already did.

Prasat: I hated this guy from the second he showed up and wasn't shocked at all that he was doing shady stuff. Him and Champ just seemed to not care at all about the kids in anyway, especially compared to the other masters. Bad vibes all around and am very happy he ended up in jail.

Phraephon: I think she was my favorite out of the masters. You could always tell she truly cared for the kids and for Run. I loved finding out she was helping Run plan his escape the entire time. I liked that she was trying to help Deluxe as well. I was pretty sad she died, she didn't deserve that.

Phoban: I liked him a lot. He always seemed to be looking out for the kids and seemed like a genuinely good guy. He was just adorable to me for some reason.

Champ: I hated him from start to finish. Like I mentioned before, you can tell he just didn't care about the kids at all. I wasn't shocked by him siding with Prasat either.

Deluxe: She was so cute!! I loved her just singing her little songs all the time (even if it wasn't the right time for it lol). She was really caring too and I loved how her class with Phen and Pennueng was just playing guitar and singing.

Every parent was a piece of shit lol except Tibet's mom and Biu's dad was eh.
