So when I first say Who Are You, i was so excited because there was gonna be a new high school drama, and i havent saw any decent one in a while, like i was really dissapointed with high school love on, so i was hoping for a decent high school setting drama, and i wasnt let down by it. What got me more excited was seeing that the main cast are actors im familliar with, i loved nam joohyuk in Surplus Princess, and sungjae in nine plus boys, i was also exicted for kim sohyun's first lead role. Story 7.5 So story wise, if i were to review this when i was still watching the first 6 episodes of the drama, i would have gave it 9.5 right away, i was so blown away with the story and the story telling, the mystery kept me curious all the time, and i was frustrated every time an episode ends. It made the viewers question all the time what the hell is going on?? is this the reality in south korea?? It was amazing, and it wasnt about those lovey dovey high school love story which made me happy. However after episode 6 everything just seemed to go down, they started focusing on the forced romance between the characters and really annoying love triangle. and after all the mysteries are solved, it left me feeling, "was that it? nothing more? so it was just like that" It was really anticlimatic, and it really dissapointed me, and romance wise it also dissapointed me a lot. The writers couldnt focus on one male lead which made viewers confused on who should they root for, i couldnt even tell, which in most kdramas it should be obvious who the girl will be with. So anyway it was something like that, i dont wanna spoil more so i cant explain in more detail. Thats why to be fair although i was really dissapointed in the end, the beggining was pretty good, so ill give the story a 7,5 and this might be too good of a score actually. Acting/Cast 9.5 Wow the acting was just on point though. Kim Sohyun acts as two different people, as twins. And as viewer i actually felt like they were 2 different people, their gaze and the way they act is completly different. This girl is so young, she realy needs to get an award for this. Another person who was unexpectedly amazing was Yook Sungjae of Btob, ive been a fan of them for quite sometime but the only time i saw sungjae act was in nine plus boys, and it was okay. but here he really improved, his crying scenes was so good and convincing, and he just made all the girls of south korea and the world fall for him thanks to this drama. This drama was the breakthrough for Sungjae, and know he has totally became a superstar. and Nam joohyuk, ah this dude i kinda feel bad for him. I really liked him in surplus princess he was so adorable, but the writers made his character so annoying in this drama he was so indecisive it was annoying and i started to hate him so much. But acting wise he was actually good. Hopefully he will redeem himself in cheese in the trap. Last the girl who played the bully also had amazing acting, i forgot her name, but one thing for sure i hated her so much i think i cursed everytime she appeared, just shows how good she is though haha. Music 8 I cant really say much about the music, but the ost was nice, but im not really into rap music, so the main theme kinda annoyed me sometimes when the music is on, but i think a lot of people really liked it and it actually really fit with the atmosphere of the drama Rewatch value 5.5 meh, i dont think i would watch it again, after finishing the drama i felt like the producers totally trolled me and i felt like i was cheated. Once in a while i would think, i totally wasted my life watching this drama. but then it was still good. But i think the ending totally ruined it for me so it made me dislike this drama. if it wasnt for the ending, and how they dicided to focus more on the stupid love triangle it wouldve been so much better Overall 7.5 I think you should watch it, but just get ready for a shitty ending if you dont mind. I still think it has one of the best story telling in kdramas in the beggining, but the ending was well shitty and made it seem just like every single average drama.
