What an amazing drama, totally my style... I don't think I ever watched something that made me rewatch it after 2 minutes after the end... I watched ep 1 already 5 times... and I'm the type of persone who HATE rewatch thing, I get bored so easily... but this drama was different. It was so deep, sometimes crazy, but deep.
Hiiragi sensei is an amazing character, my fav of all time. Such a deep character.
Loved the story, you need to rewatch this drama to really understand it, and to see all hints!!!
Love the cast, these young actors/actress will be great in future roles. Finally some new good faces.
Masaki Suda was a monster... they choose one of the most brilliant j-actors.... such a versatile actor. In the last episodes he was outstanding. He need to win an award for this drama, no this drama need to win a lot of awards.
Loved the music <3 This played such a big part in this drama. And loved the ending <3
Rewatch value 10/10 of course.

A cruel and deep story about school violence victims

(no plot spoilers) This drama will be reminded as a masterpiece of its kind. It's shocking and insane. It will make you emotional and anxious for most of the time. You will watch it without knowing how it will end up... it's an unforgettable ride.
Bullying... is something we saw frequently, and something that many of us sadly went through. I did too, and I still have emotional scars that I try to forget, but I can't. You can't help somehow to cheer for the main guy, even if it's wrong. You end up to think at what they had to go throught, about what is wrong and what right. About how society and school fail so many times to protect innocents. And what if you lose yourself- It's so scary to even think about it.
The theme of the self and the others is something present for the whole drama. Are you a pig or a dog?
Are you a victim or a perpetrator? Are you someone ready to fight for justice or to survive in exchange of your own conscience?
The main characters of this drama are victims of a system that didn't protect them and ruined their life forever.
The acting is really stellar, I couldn't ask for better actors. From the kids to the adults versions.. everything felt so perfect.
Violent and cruel, I don't think it's something for everyone, but I can't help myself from suggest it. You, have to watch it.

What can I say? I'm so glad to watched this amazing drama! This drama gave me so many feelings that for the first time I wasn't really able to understand. Why I like this so much? Why I can't stop thinking about it? Why for me this is the best drama ever?... What... the best drama ever? I'm not sure about this.. I'm not sure about anything now... I'm in tear now... My heart is broken... I really loved this drama!

- The Story was a crescendo, it continues to getting better and better. I love all... this scripter was amazing. No stupid misunderstandings in the couple! She accepted all of him, and he loved her so much... They're my absolute OTP of all time.

It has been since Healer that I hadn't a real on air drama with I was obsessed, yeah there was many amazing drama, better than this, but this one was so simply and magical.

Story: 8
The story wasn't really great, in Historical Dramas they are more complicated, but this one was was like read a Fairy tail, or a Japanese manga. It was magical, and made me dream like a baby. The couple story was totally my style: a secret "impossible" love. Totally my style. The story wasn't so complicated, there was just a few of questions, but they give a response to all them, so I'm happy that there wasn't holes.

Acting/Cast: 10. Amazing cast and amazing characters. I think that rarely I end up a drama loving everyone, second lead girl too. Everyone was really fit for its own character.
- Park Bo Gum was charming, and his facial expression was pure gold... he can tell so many things with only the eyes. He reminds me so much Song Joong Ki, another actor that I love. His character is one of the best of all time, expecially since he never become weak, he's always ready to fight with his smart brain.
- Kim Yoo Jung has always been an amazing actress, but in this one she totally sparkled. Her first true main role in a k-drama, and she did an amazing job. Her character wasn't annoying like usual main girls, she was just a cute puppy
- Jung Jin Young: even if I loved him in his previous dramas, I wasn't sure to see him in this drama. I mean, it's an historical drama, why put an Idol, but he proved that Kim Yoon Sung role was perfect only for him, doing an amazing job. I loved his character.
- Chae Soo Bin, I'm a little sad to see just so few of scenes with her, she was so sweet, I thought I would hated her, but she was so kind a weak, not an evil girl, but just a girl in love who wanna be a support for her love ones. If she was the main girl in another show I surely rooted for her.
- Kwak Dong Yeon, the Guard that stoled everyone's hearts. Even if he's really cute, in this drama he was really mature and reliable, with his mysterious aurea. I really loved him.

Music: 10
This drama's music was really beautiful, from its instrumental ones to Misty roads, Because I miss you, My dearest, Fondly Goodbye, Love is over, Love that shines like a star and more...

A wholesome drama about youth and being true to yourself with a letter

Sashidashinin wa, Daredesuka? is a drama that surprised me. It's not a masterpiece or a classic drama, but it's one of the most wholesome drama I've ever seen. It's underrated and not known, but I think everyone should try it.
The characters are relatable, real and not perfect. But they never make you upset or not able to understand them. They really look like normal kids with their problems, and it's impossible to not cheer for them.
Story: The story is nothing new. A bunch of kids with their problems, their first love, their friendship... and a teacher that will help them to be true to themselves. While in most teacher students dramas the teacher usually is the main centre, here it's perfect balanced. Both gain a lot from each others.
Cast: So many young talented young actors here. I expected a mediocre acting tbh, since I didn't expected from the beginning a wow drama because of the format... but hey if I was wrong, not only the drama split like this has a quality of a 40 min ep drama, but it has also a pretty good young cast. I also met again some faces from Kamisama no ekohiiki, and like that one this is such a nice coming out age drama.
Music: it was always the same song, but hey if I loved that song. I really hope to find it somewhere!

Overall it's a really warm drama with different problematics and most of all beautiful friendship, with an interesting an unusual teacher.... I really liked it. I will miss them.

Written by the same screenwriter of Chief Kim... even if you don't know that you will be able to feel it just after a few minutes! A show that it's more about its charaters than the story itself, but that can wrap everything without plot holes. Everything was put in the right place, and anything was left there...

9 Story: An already watched story... corruption, murderes, police that can't do their work... prosecutors... with an amazing element in there... a hot tempered Priest who will do anything do discover the truth.. And that average story became an amazing story thanks the character developments of almost every of them. You will end up loving everyone... even a few of the bad guys!

10 Acting/cast: Amazing characters for how they were written... yeah of course... but with amazing actors/actress! From our amazing priest potrayed by my favorite actor, Kim Nam Gil, so complicated and full of faces... to our crazy Phoenix Honey Lee... to our loveable cute detective and go on....

10 - Music! I've listened so many times the osts! They are so amazing and perfect in every moment!

10 - Rewatch Value... I can't wait to re-watch it... I miss Team Tsunami so much... ç_ç

10/10 is my overall score. A drama about changing in better... with many funny moments and even dark ones. More you go on and better it became. Watch it now!

The secret Shi Yeol's Guesthouse.

I will be quick 'cause I wanted mostly to write a Review with a Shi Yeol Reference.
A really solid drama. First 1-12 eps were really good, while 12-16 were pretty okay. I pretty liked 17-8, they were pretty interesting but not great. Anyway super mega ultra cute ending.

THE BEST OF THIS DRAMA:
Shi Yeol - if you need a 360° character then he is the main of your dreams. Amazing acting, sad past, beautiful personality: the classic "He is smiling outside, but crying inside". Most interesting love story.

Acting: The acting was pretty solid. I didn't find any chemistry between main couple and also (even if I liked both in different dramas) I didn't see a good acting from then. Many said she was the problem, but I failed to gasp the revenge need, sorrow and personality of Kang San.
While about Yoon Dan Oh it's her character the problem... she is presented as smart, courageous and quickminded, but she then just became a love interest and nothing more. A really bland character. In that way also her actress (that was amazing in The Glory and Revenge of Others) looks like bland in her acting. But the problem was her character.
Shi Yeol actor instead was brilling and outstanding. He literally carried the drama on his shoulder.

About the Ending:
Tbh I was happy Kang San didn't became king--- tbh since day 1 he never had any trait of a good King. He is yes a good prince, but not king wise. I disagree that he gave up on becaming a King because of Love. Since day 1 he was just blinded by Revenge and protecting who he loved, but he has no interest in Politics, People and what to do as a King.
Yoo-Ha instead is King material, even if agree that they should have make his character kind of better. But I think he was not that bad. He always put others before him and loves to work for others and have ideas about how to improve the country. Yeah he could have been also a good minister near the King, but I really can't see Kang San as a King at all.
I agree that lying is bad-- but I will consider it in this case as a white lie. Maybe was too late to clean all the steal identity?
What I was sad is the fact Kang San felt that he should have stayed away for Political reasons--- but well.

Anyway Shi Yeol getting his happy ending is the best thing ever <3 I will maybe came back later to adjust my review.
