OTT fight scenes are actually really good!
I didn't think I would like this as much as I did. Infact I think I found this more entertaining to watch than WHC2 which came out relatively the same time. The cast for this show is great!! I do wish the teacher's son had more of a lead role in this season but I have a suspicion he will have more screen time in season 2 when he goes after for revenge. There is a teaser at the end hinting that there will be another season so fingers crossed!!Was this review helpful to you?

not worth watching
I watched this since it was highly raved by my cousin and we both love Park Seo Joon...but I was not a fan of his hair cut in this show! lol This drama did not need 16 episodes. I am the type of person who binge watches kdrama in 1 sitting or 2. It took me a good week to finish this drama coz I couldn't really get into it. I really liked the the love interest between ML and the 2nd FL. The main FL lead irritated me - both her acting and how she looked in the show. Granted, yes, her look was probably intentional to be kind of quirky and eccentric. She was extremely selfish and arrogant and treated Jang Geun Soo so terrible and he did everything to try and be with her!! I didn't like the fact that Sae Ro Yi ended up with her. It would have been a better ending had he not ended up with either of the love interests.If you have misophonia like I do, Yoo Jae Myung's character while eating will trigger you. The loud slurping was rage inducing >_<". I also can't believe Sae Ro Yi actually kneeled to him!!!! UGH!!
A lot of scenes felt like fillers to me and I almost didn't even bother finishing the show.

Great show! wished there were more episodes
The story line for this is really good. It's very relatable and not your usual run of the mill HS series. The actors did a great job and while everyone hates Beom Seok's character, I do feel bad for him. He had such a rough life and was so lost. Hong Kyung did such a great job in this role!!This was the first show I watched Park Ji Hoon in and he's an amazing actor! I don't think he gets enough credit and should be way more famous!!
The villian (RIP Na Chul) was extremely entertaining to watch and he was probably my favorite character in this show.

Suho and Sieun reunion was disappointing
After watching both S1 and S2, I prefer the storyline in S1 more. S2 however had the BEST cast!!! The storyline just wasn't really believable.I did enjoy watching this and like most ppl my favourite character was Geum Seong Je which was immaculately played by Lee Jun Young!!
The reunion of Suho and Sieun was extremely anti-climatic. I was expecting a warmer reception but they just stood there apart acting so non chalant towards each other. The guy has been in a coma for who knows how long. You visit him every day and when he finally wakes up... come on. That's just my opinion.

a must watch! super funny!
I wished they had casted someone else for the role of Lim Joo Kyng. I can't stand Moon Ga Young's acting and her crying scenes really irritated me. I almost didn't finish the series coz I couldn't keep watching her. She's pretty don't get. me wrong, just not a fan of her acting. Specifically her crying and gummy teeth LOL.This movie had a lot of funny scenes and I really enjoyed watching it overall. I didn't read the mangwa so I went into this series blindly. I wished (as with a lot of kdramas since I always have 2nd lead syndrome) that she ended up with Seojun instead of Suho. Seojun was always there for her and never broke her heart. Suho did a couple times in that show. The rivalry between Seojun and Suho was the best. Even when they "made up" and still had that banter with each other.

wished it was better
After struggling to power through this series, I can see why it has such a low rating lol. There are some top tier actors in this series so I really expected it to be a lot better. This wasn't produced very well. All past "history" scenes should have been in the first episode and not scattered throughout the series. It made it really boring and irritating to watch since it would be inserted during action and climax scenes. The wigs in this show were awful. You could totally tell they were wigs, and not even the good kind.I hate the fact that they "killed" off Ogwi. Even though he may not be really dead given the end scene but I'm thinking he will probably come back evil. The ripping of his wings was sad/uncomfortable to watch :( All the past angels were resurrected and alive but they killed off one of the best main characters? Doesn't make sense.
Also, given how S1 turned out... I doubt there will be much hype/anticipation about a possible S2 coming out.
I love the fact that Park Hyung Sik played an anti hero role! It's such a nice change from his usual happy/funny romcoms. I love his acting in those upbeat romcoms though, he's one of my favorite actors!!

No. Just No. Skip this if you can
This BL made me cringe so bad!! It's not even a cute love story, just straight up cringy. The MLs also didn't have any chemistry and seemed awkward with each other which made it even harder to watch. No redeeming qualities about this BL. There are far better BLs than this one eg. Semantic error and unintentional love story just to name a couple.Was this review helpful to you?

Never cried so much watching a kdrama
Definitely in my top 5 for sure!!! I really love Jin Sung's acting in this one. He played the super hot Shin Se-gi and the super funny girl twin Yo-na. I didn't even realize that Park Seo Joon was in this show as well! Really sad that Shin Se gi went away coz it seemed like he was the first one that truly loved Ri Jin. I never cried and laughed so much watching a show. Definitely recommend!!! I wish that all his alter egos stayed...but I understand why they couldn't.Was this review helpful to you?
First BL and didn't disappoint!!!
This was my first time watching a BL and it was unexpected! There were no cringy parts at all!! It was actually a really funny series to watch. I don't know why they gave Sang Woo that hair cut!! They totally did him dirty lol. Park Seoham is so handsome in this series but he's also very handsome in general! Loved the funny parts and the 2 made a great match for the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
One of my favourite kdramas
I can watch this drama over and over again!I love the music selection they have in this show. When Park Bo Young carried Park Hyun Sik and the whitney song "I will always love you" came on I was laughing so loud!!! I could watch that scene for hours! The on screen chemistry between them is off the charts! I also like the 2nd ML's character as well.
This really is a must watch and I think the epitome of kdrama comedy!

this is a must watch!!
Anything that has Park Hyung Sik will be good! He's such a phenomenal actor. Storyline is also good. There were some parts where I felt they dragged on for a bit so I don't think this drama needed 16 episodes... maybe 14 would have been good. The 2nd leads were entertaining to watch as well. A lot of funny moments in this series. I am relieved that Park Hyung Sik's character doesn't make amends with this family at the end. I like how they left it as him still needing to heal from the past trauma rather than having everyone end up being all happy together despite what they had gone through.Was this review helpful to you?
Must watch for great comedic lines and acting
I am shocked by the low rating for this BL!!! This is probably one of my FAVOURITE BLs!!! I real love the MLs and the 2nd MLs on this show! The story line is really good. The humour and dialect is entertaining. Hands down in my top 3 BLs if not my #1 favourite one! I love how the ending wraps up and hope they have a second season!!! I know they have one for the 2 MLs and I watched that one but it wasn't as good as this one.Was this review helpful to you?
It's really a hidden gem!
I don't think I have laughed as much as I have in this kdrama!! This is definitely on my list of top 5 kdramas!! I wasn't going to watch this coz I thought it seemed very cringy and cheesy. While there are definitely some cheesy aspects to this, the story line is actually very good! It's also packed full of high list korean actors!!! I've been on somewhat of a binge watching shows that star Seo In Guk for some reason and I gotta say, i'm a huge fan of his characters. While a lot of them seem the same, his facial expressions are very well suited for the roles. I highly recommend this show!! I also have a new found love for Seo Kang Joon. He is soooo dreamy!!!! I really like the sound effects and of course the dramatic slow motion scenes!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
