School 2013 is scary

This is very different from the typical high school drama that I'm used to seeing and that's what got me interested in the first place. For the first episode the writer absolutely did not hold back any punches and went right into the topic of bullying and having apathetic teachers. I can't tell you how many times I was cursing at my computer about Oh Jung Ho and how I really wanted to jump in the scene and really beat is a$$, I was so happy when In Jae finally slapped him even though she felt bad about it afterwards. I really love Go Nam Soon having to deal with a drunken father he just wants to get by in school without getting into anybody's business but he's such a good guy that he can't help but get involved when he sees someone being tormented. All in all I have really high hopes and high expectations of this drama and I'm looking forward to more episodes. That last scene really shocked me.

In need of 3.4 Billion- All to NO Avail..

This episode started intense, ended the same. I can see a very changing Anthony Kim. You don't have to take your medications, Representative! Just show it all to your colleagues! They love you! I felt sad on his childhood-- so that was the reason why he become so obsessed with success.



I love the World's team--even the director did try to help. What the??-- after about 10 secs, he changed his mind about lending the money? Your only the one missing out, Kang Min!



The best part was getting the investment from the land! Great idea Anthony, and thinking ahead of your enemy--or rather thinking the same level as him was even better. All what is left is to be on right time. Lee Go Eun and Kang Min, it's on your hands now. :)

Worth It [? Fair warning..it's a long one :) ?] lol

Wow, where do I begin? I mean, the expectation I held for this drama has certainly been met..possibly exceeded. The only thing that saddens me is that KWB is not in this ep. On the bright side, there sure was a lot of Lee Jong Suk *^* hehe



The actors were phenomenal, and right off the bat, it's apparent that this drama is no joke. It is very VERY realistic and its tone is just as serious. I am officially hooked!



Plot: 9/10

This is what a 1st ep should be. Already we know the basis of the story--raise students' grades to raise school's rank. In the mean time, turn students into respectable-ready for the world-young adults. This ep was definitely suspenseful..several moments, it just builds and builds and >.< SO worth your time. *Hint..straight up, I wanted to be the sh*t out of Jung Ho! In fact, I still do >:]



Actors/Characters: 10/10

Characters are legit and understandable. From supporting to main, I can't think of anything bad tbh. Ep predominantly focused on 3 characters:



>Nam Soon..my hero~ ;) When others stand by n do nothing, he's there to save the day. Well rounded, very likeable..can't wait to see more! Also, LJS is SO much taller than all the other actors o_O



>Jung Ho (bully) imo is like a stock character. Granted not much is really revealed about him, but it's kind of implied that he is the stereotypical bully--comes from a not so perfect background (imo probably abusive or neglected-type) so he takes advantage of the weak in order to prove superiority..blah blah the usual. Still, that's just my theory and I do think he's an interesting character because it's just not 'for sure' why he is the way he is.



>In Jae, a teacher without confidence but has the greatest sincerity to help her students. There were times (several!) when I wanted to take her place and seriously take charge of the class..discipline some students, etc. Rooting for her to gain confidence and respect from students^^ Very likeable and sympathetic.

...Then there's Choi Daniel's character..you should see for your self :) Also Choi Daniel and Jang Na Ra's reunion was so cute!
