Good idea, poor execution (Some spoilers)

I wanted to watch this show because i was on a OhmFirst binge watch period wherein I was watching all the shows they were in, this included. The concept itself is great, however there were A LOT of flaws, but i'll talk about the good things about the show first

The story itself is nice, missing sister, fcked up administration, shady students & school, all that jazz. Then we have six extraordinary students from the last section who steps up and tries to save their school. Now, that storyline would've been great, but imma say why it wasn't spectacular in a moment.

Their acting was great, i think they really captured what their character was supposed to be and I commend them for that.

Ok onto the kinda bad parts of the show

Each main character was given a female partner (The veggie gang + cupcake & lila). Now, I don't mind all the love shiz but what sucked was we did not really get much out of it. It's almost as if they added the parter scenes just to say that the series is not all action. Would the series still be okay without the female partners? Possibly. They could've been a part of blacklist, so the team could be more powerful and could have more dynamic. If they did that the "love" could develop much more naturally and we could actually see it develop, rather than adding scenes here and there wherein they look at each other, smile, and feel giddy. IF they plan on making a season 2, i really hope they find a way to incorporate the women more because i do believe that each parter's storyline could be interesting if they just spent more time developing each character's plot line. (Unpopular Opinioin: BantadxLila is the superior ship, the rest are a close second, however i did feel like Jim Bae and Carrot was a bit forced, they should've been given more screen time to develop their relationship)

Overall:
This show is okay, would i recommend it? Absolutely. Would i want a season 2? Hell yeah, they ended the show in a way wherein they could add another season, so i think they should take the opportunity to redeem themselves and fix what they lack. Also, wtf how come the teacher did not get arrested (Gmm if u r seeing this y'all could make that the plot line for season 2). And y'all are planning to go with the each main character has a gf storyline in season 2 (if there is) I hope that we can watch each couple develop their relationship without ruining the main story which is action and stuff.
