It has everything: action, comedy, romance, drama. For some reason, I really admired the first couple of episodes but I started to lose interest very soon. Probably because the storyline was quite unrealistic and predictable at times. I felt obligated to continue watching. Despite the plot holes, I was really drawn to the gender-bender side of this series although it irritated me at times. The lead couple had an amazing chemistry. Although I'm really late on this one, this was the series where I discovered the amazing Park Bo Gum. Damn, he has charm and his acting skills are top notch. The soundtrack was quite powerful as well which made the drama even more emotional and enjoyable.
This drama is an easy-to-watch historical series for beginners that are only starting to get interested in the genre. Especially romance genre lovers, beware of the cutesy/lighthearted romance scenes and start watching this!

I love the boys, and this was fun to watch, but let's be real. The story was basic, predictable and unoriginal. Their acting was cheesy and even cringey at times. Just ask any of the members how they feel about the show and they would agree. The music is great because, it's GOT7. I would probably never watch it again, except in clips to laugh at. Overall, it was "OK". It wasn't so bad that I couldn't watch all of it, but I laughed at most of it. I'm sure with some proper training and better writing, our boys would be better actors. Just look at our "top star" Jinyoung, he's been in a couple of supporting roles now.

Story: the story of the drama is pretty well set and clear. 4 doctors are on training to become better. At times they usually cared about riding the helicopter more than saving a persons life. I enjoyed how it become their goal to be honest well for one character they wanted to ride on it but had to show they could. The character development was pretty good. I don't really know if they talked about Hiyama and Shiraishi's past a lot or their goal. It was amazing to see the two guys working hard each day for their loved ones. The story of each episode got me interested to watch the whole drama.
Music: Music was fine I got used to the ending song and it was ok. The OST was ok as well it showed up during the right moments.
Cast: Lots of popular actors in this drama especially Yamapi and Aragaki also Toda too. I really like Kuroda-sensei's actor because I've seen him before in Nurse Aoi.
Rewatch: I'll rewatch it again but they do have more seasons and special to keep up with.

This drama caught my attention in the first place because of how short it is when I googled it and that I am familiar with the lead female whom I know is a great actress for such a young age. However when I first had a glimpse of it, I decided to drop it since I find the beginning as another ambitious and exaggerated way of showing how gifted these students are. However, when I decided to watch it again a month or two later, and got past that 'beginning', I was able to appreciate it in ways that I would have never expected I would before. Plus, that I am quite familiar now with the other casts, my desire to watch this drama was even stronger. And I am glad that I had taken that step and finished this drama.
The storyline is quite simple with twists that are quite predictable but still has the ability to surprise you. For a short drama, I am quite surprise how almost all the necessary things that you would expect from a 16-episode drama can be found in this one: character growth, changing perspectives in life, rivalry turned to alliance, learning that our dreams may not be what we truly want or need and other matters that one can find in a slice-of-life drama. One thing that I find really fascinating in this drama is the simplicity of the story and the absence of unnecessary fillers. I love how every scene contributes to an ending nobody expected but were contented about. The flow of the story is smooth and consistent with the main problem or goal of the whole drama.
Acting/Cast:
The acting was quite impressive especially with the male leads. I love how the piano and the music itself contributes to symbolically represent each character. I didn't expect to be moved by this. But I was and this deserves a bucket of happy tears.
Music:
Music is good given that this is a drama driven by music itself. In this part, I'm referring to the piano pieces the characters chose to play and I find that the music, as I've said, complements well with the characters.
A definite 10 for rewatch value. This is a drama perfectly suited for young adults. I love how this drama can actually redirect you if your goals in life are quite blurry. The writer did a great job. I recently found out that this writer also wrote one of my favorite dramas, I Can Hear Your Voice, and so I am not anymore questioning why it's a good one. I hope to see more of this in the future but would love it more if it's a 16 episode drama.

Story 9/10
I enjoyed the fun plot of this whole drama. Most people would say that the story for this was all over the place, i didnt think so. I think it had the right amount of humor, romance, and suspense. I can understand why one might not like this. But I think the suspense and comedy balanced each other out perfectly in this.
Acting/Cast 10/10
The best part of this drama was the cast. Everyone was just so much fun. I loved that I didnt get bored with anyone's character. Everyone had a role. Lets start with Strong Woman Do Bong Soon herself, Park Bo Young. The role Bong Soon was made with her in mind. Her crying scenes might be annoying at parts but overall she was perfect! Park Hyung Shin as MinMin was the best. He was so adorable. His reactions were just wonderful. I loved how he accepted Bong Soon for who she was. Ji Soo, I dont even need to say much. He was a great second lead. Unfortunately I just didnt feel his chemistry with Park Bo Young, which was good. I wasnt a victim of the second lead syndrome in this one lol. Finally Jang Mi Kwan as the best villain ever. He gave me the chills every time he was on screen. I will be looking out for more of his work in the future.
Music 9/10
THe music was on point and really enhanced the watching experience. Great OST overall. My favorite is Super Power Girl just because it describes Bong Soon so well haha...
Rewatch Value 9/10
Why not? It is a lighthearted drama. If I am feeling down it is perfect...

Don't watch it. RUN AWAY! SAVE YOURSELF.
I'm repeating: DO. NOT. WATCH. IT.
Better re-watch cute S1 and smile, than go into this... mess. Writers ruined everything.
I hope you hear me. If you still want to watch it and ruin everything you've seen in S1... be my guest. I am just warning you~ ^_^

ACTING/CAST: Gun (Poonsawas Atthaphan) can seriously cry and it makes me cry. He's good at portraying anguish and sadness.
MUSIC: Standard.
REWATCH VALUE: I will watch it again because of Gun.
OVERALL: A nice program for the war against HIV/AIDS with a super cute actor.

That said, this show is primarily about real life. Real life adults in a real life world of celebrities, how it is to be an actor, or a manager, someone with a family and friends to take care of. If you're looking for the romance-driven doe-eyed actress fighting to be in love with the main male protagonist, this isn't for you. This show is for the rest of us who know what being an adult life is like and enjoy a show based on that.
The soundtrack was quality, I enjoyed most of it and it captured the scenes' emotions well.
The cast is PERFECT for the transition of the original HBO cast - Ari Gold (the actors' main manager) is a solid man, very passionate and fiery. The actor for ??? captured his essence perfectly, as did the equivalents for Vince, Turtle and Drama.
This is different from the majority of kdramas out there. And for that, I think ???? fills a very important niche.

And even though Lee Min Jung is really beautiful, she can act, she can cry, she is cute, but I am not convinced with her acting, she looked more of an easy, gullible lady for me in the series. She's nothing but a pretty face (sorry,that is how i felt)
And although Gong Yoo was handsome and all, I can not fall in love with his character as Kang Kyung-joon, how can he boast about his looks to GIl Da Ran while it was not his face in the first place.
I like him better as, Seo Yoon-jae, I mean, how can Gil Da Ran, just forget about him, who by the way was lying in the hospital inside a different body. A doctor who loves kids, a handsome doctor being chased by his fellow doctor but still managed to be faithful. Who was on his way to tell confess his feeling to you before he got into an accident, being in a comma after saving the guy, who happens to enjoy his handsome face and sexy body, only to find out that Gil Da Ran chose that Oh-Oh school boy??
I mean,,,what duh??? But again if you long to see Gong Yoo in his early 30s go ahead and watch this. You might like it, since some people do. , But,,, I really did not like the story. I still love Gong Yoo though! Handsome!

When I started with the first episode, the first thought I had was that the story was interesting, in a way that I wanted to know how the next part would unfold. I had the same feeling over the next few episodes but as it got around ep 13 and beyond, it felt like the story was going in circles. Personally I thought they were better off at making it a 16 ep drama rather than a 20 ep. If they did, the story wouldn't feel draggy and I wouldn't loose interest halfway through the series.
Be that as it may, the characters of the main leads were well played. I like how Kim Sae Ron acted her role as Yeon Hee. She had a strong hold of her character and she was consistent throughout the episodes. For someone so young to be able to do this makes me excited for her other dramas( hopefully she would also lead in it).
As for Yoon Shi Yoon, he was good but he lacks the aura of a main lead. He has it but there were some parts where I question him being the lead. He lacks that stance that male lead characters have. But even if I say that, he was still able to convey Heo Jun's inner turmoil well. As for the other characters, I can say that they, especially the characters of Hong Joo, Queen Shim and Choi Hyun Soo were exemplary actors. They played their roles really well, although Hyun Soo had some parts that were not written well (like the part where he constantly hides the truth from everyone making things complicated).
The music was awesome, I like the selection they made on this drama.
I wouldn't rewatch this drama.
Overall, it has an interesting plot that needed a little twerk, with excellent and good actors, complemented with the right cinematography and a smart selection of music to mirror the scenes in the drama.

I know a lot of people disliked Moorim School. I don't know why exactly, maybe it's because of the storyline? In order to like this plot, it's important you don't dislike Science Fiction, because yes, there's a lot of it in this kdrama. But personally I enjoy the genre and I think they did a good job on working it out. I feel like the plot is unique. Having one of those times you're just craving for some action? I'd recommend this drama.
Characters
I really liked most of the characters, especially Wang Chi Ang and Shi Woo. They can be really funny but create heartbreaking moments at the same time. I also enjoyed the relationships between the characters.
Acting
The acting in this drama was great, honestly. Hongbin did a really, really good job considering he's an idol and acting is not his profession. Hyun Woo did great as well. As for Ye Ji... Sometimes I have to see other kdrama's with one actor before I realize how good they really are. When I watched Hwarang, I noticed how her character had a completely different personality in both series, but she still pulled off both so well.
Music
Now you must think: Wow, what? Is the BG thát good, since I gave a 10 for it? Welll, this series isn't famous for its OST like Kill me, Heal me is. And I'll admit, maybe most of the BG isn't all that special. But to me VIXX' song 'Alive' is very special. It's my favourite song all time, which is quite a thing. The melody amazing, but the greatest thing about it are the lyrics. The lyrics is so motivating! Of course this opinion is quite personal but because of 'Alive' I think the music deserves 10/10.
