Slice-of-life series, with a sweet romance and a severe criticism of the Korean school system.

PLOT: FL, star teacher at a prestigious hagwon, finds one of his former students as a colleague.

+ Quite harsh criticism of the Korean school system: competition, cramming, over-importance of grades and rankings, pressure from parents, number of hours of daily work, ... But here we discover the world of hagwons (academies). I know it's part of Korean culture, but which parents want to impose that on their children? I understand why more and more Korean families are emigrating, especially to escape such a "massacre" of their children... => Kudos fro the producer Ahn Pan Seok !

+ Great cast: Wi Ha Joon & Jung Ryeo Won form a harmonious, respectful, confident couple, with great chemistry.
+ romance 2 is very cute (with So Ju Yeon)
+ very realistic context and tone
+ Excellent OSTs
+ pretty and sweet ending

# pace which slows down in the 2nd half

=> a very good slice-of-life series, realistic, with a sweet romance and a severe criticism of the Korean school system.

PLOT : La FL, prof vedette d'un hagwon de prestige, retrouve un de ses anciens élèves, comme collègue.

+ Critique assez sévère du système scolaire coréen : compétition, bachotage, sur-importance des notes et des classements, pression des parents, nombre d'heures de travail quotidien, ... Mais on découvre ici le monde des hagwons (académies de cours de soutien/perfectionnement). Je sais que cela fait partie de la culture coréenne, mais quels parents souhaitent imposer ça à ses enfants ? Je comprends pourquoi de plus en plus de familles coréennes émigrent, notamment pour échapper à un tel "massacre" de leurs enfants ... => Bravo au réalisateur Ahn Pan Seok !
+ Super cast : Wi Ha Joon & Jung Ryeo Won forment un couple harmonieux, respectueux, confiant, avec une belle alchimie.
+ la romance 2 est très cute ( avec So Ju Yeon)
+ contexte et ton très réalistes
+ Excellentes OST
+ jolie et douce ending

# rythme qui se ralentit dans la 2nde moitié

=> une très bonne série slice-of-life, réaliste, avec une sweet romance et une sévère critique du système scolaire coréen.
