Firstly, I chanced upon this drama and saw that the plot is set in a school and there was some superpowers involved, therefore I started watching it.
At first, the story proceeded with nothing unexpected, but it was still pretty interesting because of the conflict.
In terms of story throughout the whole series, there was really nothing that is worthy to be mentioned. The villains and heroine were predictable even if they were not explicitly mentioned. The element of tragedy is brought out abruptly when the series was about to end. The male lead's mother who was initially against the female and male lead's relationship due to the drastic difference in family background (just like any other dramas with a poor female lead and wealthy male lead) suddenly becomes very understanding of her son (?)
The flow of the story was very strange and the story took place too quickly and it was very confusing for me to catch up with the plot.
The plus point of this series was that the actors and actresses that were cast were mostly unfamiliar faces, yet they developed their assigned roles pretty well. The chemistry between the couples in the series were also well-displayed.
The music did not stand out much, so when I was watching the series, I skipped the drama to 1:30+ after the first episode.
In general, if you're looking to watch a show to pass time or looking to laugh (and the time to watch 30 episodes), you should check out this show out. However, it is definitely not one of the best shows I have seen.

Let the ratings speak for the headline
Now, some of you may find this drama a waste your time but to each his own and all, I freaking loved it. I'm a fan of fantasy and comedy series and this drama had it all. The romance was a bit lackluster but well, I'm choosing to focus on the comedy aspect. This drama made me laugh from the beginning to the end, everything was so funnily silly or sillily funny, lol. I even got a BL vibe which made it all the more fun for me.The characters were all so endearing, including the villains.
My only complaint is the cliffhanger ending.
Chinese people with more power than us international viewers, please please request for season 2...

Superstar Academy is a hidden gem
For those who don't know, Superstar Academy is the first ever Xiao Zhan drama filmed together with other members of XNine. Xiao Zhan himself jokingly calls this drama his dark period and many fans struggle to watch it. And they are all wrong. They are losing a chance to watch and enjoy the masterpiece which Superstar Academy is. But first, you should know, it's not a regular youth drama, it's more a parody or Quentin Tarantino version of a Chinese youth drama. It's so bad that it makes it so good. But in fact, it's not bad at all, it's just in many cases surreal or sometimes looking cheap or naive. But if you won't look at this from the point of view of a regular youth drama, you'll appreciate the idea, the wit, the story, the setting, the costumes, and most of all the characters. Xiao Zhan plays the male lead role, Fang Tianze. I don't know if it's true what I've read somewhere, that he was not casted for that role, yet the director noticed him and find him a perfect man to take that job, though knowing Xiao Zhan's charisma that's highly probable. Fang Tianze seems to be a rich, handsome, and very spoiled hair of a powerful and wealthy family but he also has a secret. He lives in the World in which some people are born with special powers connected to the Zodiac signs and he attends a school for people with special abilities. I won't tell you more. But Xiao Zhan and other members of the cast have many brilliant and funny scenes, the story is very engaging and it's really worth watching. But keep in mind, to watch at least three episodes, they are really short. The first episode is not the most representative of the whole drama and is probably the reason why so many people drop the drama so early.Was this review helpful to you?

Eps Awal2 aku nonton nya sambil main hp, jadi gak gitu ngeh sama ceritanya, bahkan ku pikir drama nya aneh banget. Tapi, aku ttp lanjut nonton (krn ud gatau mau nonton drama apa xD). Trus lama2 ceritanya lumayan menarik, gampang diikutin, dan ada sedikit bagian yang Unexpected. hahahaha.
*ps. awalnya aku gak tau kalo main lead nya yang main di The Untamed, karena aku nonton ini duluan, sebelum nyobain The Untamed. Aku liat dari poster nya, dan karena ganteng, aku coba nonton #OOPSS
