Soo Ah is a trainee teacher who goes down to a local school to practice teaching. She grew curious about Bu Yeong Seok, a student with an ominous aura who is always present in the attendance list but no one calls his name. The more she tries to get Bu Yeong Seok back to school, the more unpleasant the school becomes. (Source: HanCinema) ~~ Two versions available: 2 episodes (TV) || 3 episodes (Online) Edit Translation

Since there are no other reviews to help you decide whether you should watch it or not ...I’d bother giving my 2 cents...

Each cine-drama in the trio is set in a high school, depicting tales of old spirits and secrets that have been long buried in the scene - until now.

The second in the trio - A Child Who Would Not Come …

This one isn’t full of ghosts or spirits and isn’t dark ( literally) ...and has you in this constant debate where you try to fit logic so as to come to terms with the fact that maybe this one isn’t a horror drama even when you have read the genre ...and know that the trilogy is about ghosts and spirits …
This was something I liked about it ….

Apart from this the cast did a great job especially ML (pitch-perfect-creepy) ... you’d never feel like the cast is full of rookie actors ...and the ending ...oops….it’s awesome ….lol (what did you expect, I told you this isn’t scary but it’s quite good I still feel it should have more viewers .... let’s not get to that)

Also potential triggers ….bullying and violence and a pinch of stalking ( ahh weren’t you waiting for me to say this ...of course no school in k-drama land exists free of bullies …it’s possible to not have a ghost in a horror drama but it’s impossible to have a school free of bullies, you still love drama land don’t you, lol )
Also you guessed it right ..if it has bullies, the story is gonna revolve around outcasts ...yep ...but it got more …!!

Re-watch value ….this one has it higher than others...cuz you already know what’s going on from the moment you dive in ...so it’s not like mystery exposed ...and now you can’t watch it again ….
The ML’s acting is worth a re-watch …!! ( even tho I never re-watch shows and won’t re-watch this either ..and you people haven’t watched it even once ...why am I even talking about this)

If you are watching it ...I hope you enjoy …
the other reviews for the series can be found on respective pages ...or maybe I'll drop a link in the comment ....(if you wish to read my opinion on them you can check the comment with spoiler tag)

This review may contain spoilers

amazing :D

storyline : basically sooah starts working as a trainee teacher and she finds out about one certain student (young seok) that hasnt come to school in quite some time. she decides to go to his house (very creepy) and persuade him to come back to school. he ends up coming back but he's very odd and says weird things to her. low and behold he has a big secret which she shouldn't have messed with.

acting : when i say the acting was AMAZING i really do mean it was AMAZING. by amazing i mean yoon suk (young seok). his acting here was really good and he's perfect for this kind of role. youngseok was by far my favourite character here, solely because of his creepy aura and top notch acting. i've been watching a few of his dramas and honestly this drama really showcased his talent. i hope he does more roles like this because they really suit him and he can really pull it off.

music : i didnt pay much attention to the music so i cant really rate it.

rewatch value : i could honestly watch this everyday. not to exaggerate but this drama really creeps me out and is my favourite out of the whole series.
