It has been a long time for me since I have written a review but I really have to give one for this Drama. Because it deserves it! I have always been a great fan of high-school-dramas, especially when they have a "hero-like" main-lead :) (maybe my addiction to them comes from Gokusen) But for once I didn´t even plan to watch this Drama. By accident I clicked on it on a streaming website and I must say that this is one of the Dramas which are unexpected gems! The plot was very well-done and it served it´s purpose. I was glued to the screen each time I was watching the episodes. I even put on-hold currently airing dramas such as "Kill me, heal me" only in order to watch a new episode of this Drama. Besides being a light watch, it involves a few darker themes as well (such as disappointment, bullying, betrayal etc). In my opinion it was the perfect mix of them. My favorite part weren´t only the held speeches but the presidents encouraging of her classmates, teachers etc in the middle of each episode were really touching as well. I didn´t feel the need to stop to watch the Drama, like I tend to do with many melodramas. But still it was enough to evoke excitement in me. Especially in the middle of the Drama. As for the ending it didn´t quite satisfy me (no I won´t spoil it don´t worry) but then again it made me happy as well. You will see what I mean when you have watched it :=) The female leading role (the president) seemed sweet and sincerly in her role. Her acting portrayed her innocence and ever growing strong will well, though I wouldn´t say that it was outstanding. It was enough for me that I felt along with her and I really enjoyed her role a lot :) The male main lead was more like a mysterious side-character who played a major role in achieving her dreams. At first I thought he would only play a gloomy, minor role but it turned out to be different. I wouldn´t say that I will miss his role as much as from the sweet president, but I really enjoyed the interactions between him and her. As for the other roles I personally really liked the "platinum" group, the student rulers of the school. I would have wished for even more of their screen time. Instead they more likely became side-characters. There was no actor/actress whose acting I found to be "bad" and therefor I gave 9 points for the cast. This definetely isn´t a cheesy drama as you might expect from the synopsis and I am glad that I came to watch it. I can assure you that most likely won´t regret giving it a try as well. It will be worth the time!
