This was also another drama that I happened to stumble across on whilst investing my time into KDramas and so I really wanted to watch it. I do not regret watching this drama at all. I do like to invest my time in high school dramas as well because I can relate to them in some way which makes it more of a special drama to watch.

The story was captivating. I found myself anticipating in fear of what is going to happen next and it for sure was a gripping story. The story was well planned out and was quite strategic. There was so much mystery between Eun Bi and Eun Byul. However, I did find the ending anticlimactic, I was expecting more from the So Young and Eun Bi case, I think it's because they focussed on the love triangle more than the main point of the drama. In my opinion, I would of preferred something a bit more dramatic than that, but then again am I expecting too much from a high school drama?
The other thing I found a bit strange to process was the fact that Han Yi An ended up liking Eun Bi instead of Eun Byul. He always has liked Eun Byul, like he said, a one-sided love, but since the transition and him finding out Eun Byul was in fact Eun Bi all that time, he started liking his childhood best friend's sister. It did take some time to gather his feelings about the whole situation, but I did find it odd how he swiftly move on from Eun Byul to Eun Bi.
The ending made me frustrated and upset that the writers didn't do much of a good job on the love story for the ending. I loved the chemistry between Tae Kwang and Eun Bi, but don't get me wrong, the Han Yi An and Eun Bi moments were cute too, however, Eun Bi was better meant to be with Tae Kwang and even though it was a one-sided love with Yi An and Eun Byul, they were meant to be in the first place.

I loved the cast. I was in awe of how brilliant Kim So Hyun's acting was, she portrayed the personalities of the twins really well and you can definitely tell the difference with the twins at a glance, for that I applaud her.
Jo Soo Hyang did very well in portraying Kang So Young as the very mean and abusive bully, I literally hate her out of all characters in KDrama history.
Yook Sungjae as Gong Tae Kwang was lovable and made me want to hug him so much. He became so lovable, I also started loving Sungjae himself. I definitely had second lead syndrome and I so badly wanted Eun Bi to look at him for once.
Kim Joon Seok was the most lovable and funny teacher I ever saw in any drama, I loved his relationship towards his students.
And lastly, I wanna mention Cha Song Joo, she was an amazing character as well as a friend and I admire her as a character.

The music was good, loved all of the songs. I do have to say when the emotional scenes came on and the sad music cued, I shed a tear or two (maybe more).

Overall, I loved every aspect of the drama, except for the things I mentioned earlier, but generally, it was good. I cried at the emotional scenes and even when the drama was teaching us valuable lessons, I cried at those moments too. this drama can be relatable to everyone who is within high school age and so this drama is special to me. I love Class 3, everyone got along and they had a special bond towards each other.

I don't think I would rewatch this whole drama again the whole way through, at least not anytime soon. I think I would only rewatch again to relive the cute and adorable moments with Tae Kwang X Eun Bi, but also Yi An X Eun Bi as well
