Good romance, bubbly, lot of romantic scenes
This drama is romance and romance only- and it’s great. The length is perfect, and the plot isn’t awfully complicated but is still interesting. There are a lot of skinship scenes (if you like that!) and no toxicity, just a pure relationship with understanding and communication. It’s a good watch and you’ll find yourself smiling at your phone multiple times. It’s also a great binge and great if your just looking for something to watch in one go. You should definitely watch this and i hope you enjoy it as much as i did.Was this review helpful to you?
Very interesting- plot will keep you hooked
This drama was super entertaining to watch. It’s the perfect length, and every episode is jam packed with interesting storylines and concepts to keep you hooked. Its such a good drama that represents real themes and leaves you with good morals. It explores the ideas of self perception and toxic cultures online and at school very well. The acting was really good and ho sung is my favourite character (just an interesting and funny character really). The plot always keeps you on edge and although there is a lot happening it’s not confusing or overwhelming. Amazing drama, would rewatch, really good.Was this review helpful to you?
Best drama i’ve ever watched
Extracurricular is beautiful- i could rewatch this for days. It perfectly encompasses a dark concept without being overly gory and conveys an edging romantic plot without making everything about romance. Extracurricular is fascinating- the plot is constantly interesting and i remember every moment vividly, and the duality of a school but crime and dark genre will always be my favourite combination. I watched this a year ago and rewatched a couple of months ago, but i came back here specifically to write a review just to help people experience the joy i did when watching this. Also kim dong hee come back pls i miss uWas this review helpful to you?
Just a good watch, clean satisfying and fun
This drama is just interesting, fun and the length is perfect. It’s nothing too conceptual, just a fun bl with interesting scenarios and characters. I quite enjoy the straightforwardness of this drama, everything is as it seems but it never feels plain. This is definitely a happy and fun watch and the romance is structured well. You have to watch this at least once. Characters are good and acting is good and when it intends to be this drama is funny. Very lovable drama you should watch. So yeah, i really like this and it reflects a normal but interesting highschool romance.Was this review helpful to you?
Just watch it- it’s a good watch
Not what i expected at all. I originally ignored this drama because of its cringe comedy style and editing, but i came back to it purely because of a youtube video of Hyung-shik kissing bong soon and then this drama became quite literally addictive. I watched all 16 episodes in maybe 3 days? It is really good, the acting is top notch, the soundtrack is kinda cringe but lovable and the characters are just works of art. My only complaint would be too many comedic side stories to handle, but the highschool gangsters subplot was too funny and lovable to reject (It also brung out a different side to bong soon in my opinion). But these side stories are easily skipped, so don’t worry and watch this drama.This part kind of includes a character description but it’s not really a spoiler
I wanted to devote a paragraph to kim jang hyun and the actor who played him (Jang mi kwan). Jang hyuns character was beautiful. An obsessive kidnapper who idolises an abusive play? His character is crafted so well, and the acting!! Jang mi kwan plays this role so well (And he is very good looking i have to say but still keeps his role hateable and villainous which is really impressive to me) the acting is top notch. I was really disappointed to find he’s only been in 4 dramas, and had barely noticeable roles in the other 3, i hope he gets a main or supporting role soon!! Anyway his role was really good and i seriously think he is such a good actor. So that’s the end of my paragraph about him.
I also wanted to note the brother and his now love interest are so bloody annoying and seriously need to start ceasing to exist. That’s all.
Also- Mr gong? My man needs to get himself a partner- i feel bad for him third wheeling all the time.
The feces wine thing had me rolling on the floor for hours, i was actually dying.
And the grandma- she’s a baddie icl.
All in all- great drama- you should watch. Ik people on here can be quite critical, but ignore them and just watch it. It’s super good !

Polished movie- good watch!
I really liked this movie. It has a strong moral, interesting characters, a good plot and a good representation of manipulation, school bullying, the highschool environment and social hierarchy, and exclusion. It represents the hypocritical and toxic natures of the school environment through a clean plot and good acting, with good filming and relevant music. So, if you’re looking for my green light to watch it- do! It’s a very clean and consistent movie- a rarity nowadays tbh. It’s a good watch and i’d probably watch it again. Plot twist also twists your brain a bit. A good watch! So, i give you the green light to watch this if your sitting on the fence about it.Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing movie! Great for a binge, good acting!
I have no criticisms of this movie other than maybe more romance. The plot is amazing, everything is amazing, even the choice of dialogue and the styling is amazing. the main character, even though sometimes she doesn’t even say anything, her face is so expressive. you can tell her feelings from just a blank face. The male lead sort of portrays a great perspective of different emotions. This movie is not only good plotwise, but shows an amazing emotional journey as well. Would 10/10 recommend you to watch, has some great scenes and is overall very clean.Was this review helpful to you?
crap, completely different from the webtoon, cringe & too cliche
spoiler warning if you haven’t read webtoonok so i finished true beauty and honestly i liked the first 8 or so eps and then it just became a really crappy and inaccurate time skip in which seojun gets completely rejected and suho disappears for only 5 seconds and then comes right back like a cockroach ?. they changed way too many things and it’s a completely different story to the webtoon where they don’t even give seojun a chance and they don’t build suho and jugyeong’s relationship to the point where it feels like two strangers off the street are snogging ?. it was way too rushed and the display of suhos character was crap and it completely ignored the webtoon.
i was really disappointed with this and the only reason i continued watching was hwang in yeop. best actor there + best played character

I AM SO MAD WITH THE ENDING!!!!!!!
Perfect drama. such a whirlwind of emotions but the plot is well done but there should have been an additional episode to tie up loose ends. the ending doesn’t really make sense and there should have been a flash to the future where it shows how they’ve been doing. Overall great drama but i should introduce you to my one major qualm that is dropping this drama a whole 0.5 stars. I AM SO MAD. INJOO X DOIL NEVER HAPPENED. I AM FUMING THE ACTORS HAD SO MUCH CHEMISTRY AND I SHIPPED THEM SO BADLY. WHY COULDNT THEY END UP TOGETHER F U DIRECTOR. I AM SO MAD.Was this review helpful to you?
Artistic and abstract display of emotions- good watch
This movie is colourful, creative, painful, fascinating. It holds a very artistic flair contained within the bright scenes and sets depicting gut wrenching emotion as lilico is trapped in a rabbit hole surrounded by her own greed- it has a nice mystery edge and is just generally very very interesting. the acting is good and the creative direction is superb, the story is interesting and keeps you hooked. a good watch, so watch it. I watched this a while back but recalled it just to write a review as i enjoyed it so much- this movie is true to its name in its nature and plot, quite a helter skelterWas this review helpful to you?
