Story: Basically, it's about 5 not-so-smart students with different backgrounds, mostly all from poor, problematic families, with problems in their way of achieving their true dreams. A lawyer comes to the school as a teacher and takes the 5 students as a special class. The way he teaches is really unique and cool, I laughed A LOT! It was even more touching to see how students grow under, how they hated him at first but slowly began to understand and see the true sides of one another, how even teachers who used to look down on them started empathising with and helping them, and how all of them helped one another overcome their own family and relationship problems. The romance in this drama isn't so strong though it is still visible, but the rest of the drama makes up for it IN FULL! I still cry buckets of tears (joy & sadness) when I rewatch it
Acting - overall impressive. The cast was experienced; those who weren't were still very good. I want to commend the 5 students because they looked pretty young when filming the drama, but their acting is completely realistic and beliavable!! The teachers, especially the two main ones, convey their emotions and thoughts perfectly as well, and make you put yourself in their shoes.
Music - I loved it too! When I search the OSTs it brings back many memories, and lots of the songs talk about getting up again after failing many times, and about achieving your dreams - I find it really touching and motivating! All I think is lacking is a sad, emotional song to bring more tears of sadness to your eyes, which is why I'm not giving it a full 10 :) (don't be mistaken, there are still emo songs)
Rewatch value - As long as I have the time I wouldn't mind rewatching it. This is the type of drama where you wouldn't mind rewatching ANY episode, so if you feel like rewatching ep 7 out of the blue, you'll enjoy it the same
Overall - It was a fantastic drama!!! Wonderful acting, inspiring plot, touching and lively music - it was all FABULOUS ^^ There are just a few miscommunications here and there that brought down the 10 to a 9. Especially the romance part - romance to me is incredibly important cuz I love shipping couples so much, which is also partly why I didn't give it a 10. But considering that I love romance so much but am still giving it a 9 though the romance is lacking compared to other shows, speaks volumes about how amazing the rest of the story is :D If you're not a bigger for romance, or at least you don't need romance for it to be a great show, I think you will really love this show. Especially if you love bromance and relationships between students and teachers, this is perfect. No kidding. Give it a chance, I promise it won't disappoint :)
