The story overall is very touching. The teenage problems the characters have are very easy to relate to. It is all about trying to find your place among others and to find yourself overall. These topics are brought up in the story very well and thus it is nice to watch. Nothing is too exaggerated or unrealistic, which is a huge plus.
Most of the cast is acting for the first time. Despite that, they did a good job. Sadness is an emotion hard to act and sometimes it doesn't look too natural. Most actors and actresses fit their character perfectly. Sometimes I feel like Captain doesn't fit Noh's role, but I got used to it.
The music is okay. Sometimes it ruins the moment, sometimes it enhances the emotions. Most of the songs sound just fine to me. Especially the OST has a place in my heart.
This series has one big minus. I absolutely hate that this series is filled with advertising. I know they might have to do it to cover the costs but they do it so obviously it makes me furious. There are whole scenes that are written just to advertise. They have no meaning for the story whatsoever, but include characters eating a certain food etc. I like my drama a drama. The advertising should go hand in hand with the story. Yes, you can hold that bag of chips or drink some green tea, but I do not enjoy watching a scene dedicated to a sim card and how it works. (I'm sorry, I might mix up the seasons but nevertheless, both have the same kind of advertising.)
Overall, I would (and will) watch this again. I have never watched a drama this great. Definitely worth watching! If you're looking for a school / slice of life drama, please watch this!

These three seasons have gone through every hardship a person could possibly have within a small amount of people who all are somehow connected. At some point I started to feel that this is way too unrealistic which affected my way of watching this series. It feels funny. Despite that, I appreciate that a drama would view these hardships to show what people may go through and how you can survive. You can relate to some stories, some affect your feelings and you will always want to support the characters. That's a trait that will make you watch it till the end.
Hormones 3 is way better in advertising than the previous ones. The products were nicely portrayed and it wasn't made annoyingly obvious. This was a nice improvement.
The cast didn't have the best acting skills. It makes you feel weird when the actor/actress just can't get it straight. Somehow I still like the cast, even though I miss the old one.
Again, they left quite much open in the end, but the little surprise left a good feeling about the ending. All in all, Hormones 3 didn't meet the high expectations I had after two brilliant seasons, but it was nice addition to the drama series. I will probably rewatch only seasons 1 and 2.
