Mostly centered on the rise and fall of an unfixable friendship, it doesn't stretch out the same one plot for sixteen episodes risking to make it lame and repetitive. Different stories are told, just like different stories happen in one high school class. Each of these plots lead back to friendship in the end, but none of them is like the previous one, as they all touch a second different topic, reminding us we're never the only ones who suffer although not everyone has to face the same kind of hardship we're going through.
This drama is original, true, bitter, at times shocking, but also inspiring, hopeful and fun like the age of its protagonists.
I appreciate the complete absence of romance, not because i don't enjoy it but because it's a nice change in kdramas standards.
At times it seems ridiculous the ability this school has to find a reason to expell someone every other day, but nevertheless the screenplay keeps the suspence up until the very last minute.
And there's no reason to deny or hide it: the bromance will kill you over and over again.
This drama is a jewel.

Story: The first couple eps were a bit funny and there was a good paced plot but shortly before the half way mark the plot kind of fizzles and everything became slow paced causing me to push myself to finish an episode. Even though most romcoms don’t have a plot, they will push the laughs for entertainment purposes but this one didn’t even have that. The ending was nice at least.
Acting/Cast: MGY and PSH were amazing as expected. However, I think the writers could have written Se Kyung better because her flat character didn’t give MGY very much to work with expressionwise. I don’t think its her fault because her character was too intense and she was able to service that. I liked all the supporting characters but once again Kim Ji Suk failed to make his second lead stand out. I just wanted to add that chemistrywise, I didn’t feel that intensity between the leads. It might be that MGY looked like a kid the entire drama to me.
Music: I liked most of the songs and will be downloading them to my ipod=)
Rewatch: I didn’t really care about the OTP, the boring story, and the fact I skipped 4 eps the first time doesn’t make this something Ill be torturing myself to watch again.
Overall I really don’t recommend this even if you’re the biggest fans of the leads cause its just a waste of time.

This drama takes you on an emotional roller coaster. It is simply magnificent.
Plot: When I first stumbled upon this drama I thought that it was going to be fluffy and light but it wasn't. All most all episodes are filled with angst. They made my heart really heavy. I liked that it did not focus on romance (not including BROMANCE). This show made me laugh one moment and cry another.
Cast: 10 out of 10. The teachers were incredible. The students were incredible even the desks were incredible . Im gonna keep an eye for Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin in the future. They made me go all mushy at the BROMANCE moments :)
Ending: Super neat. All the conflicts were neatly solved and pocketed away yet it left me a bit unsatisfied as there were question running through my head about the future. I wont go on because if I do I may ramble on and spoil it.
Rewatch: Definitely.

The acting was phenomenal, the characters were so well oriented with each other and the actors all seemed to be living the life of the character as they were on screen! I cried for all the right reasons watching this drama and I might even watch it again so that I can get that feeling! The bromance was so well developed that it maybe sometimes gave me this big goofy smile that I usually wear when I see the main couple interacting it's each other in other dramas! Haha! Nam Soon and heung soo are seriously he best ones in this drama! Also the teacher student relationships are really unique and also described perfectly!
The story it elf is a deal brake because all these school dramas that we love to watch no matter how much we dream they aren't really realistic, even though they dramafy everything in this drama this stuff happens at school everyday and we all know it! This school drama Is perfect and I know the some of you who don't want to go through a school drama are missing out on every thing you have ever wanted to watch.
All In all this drama is with every second and very tissue that you use! Even for those of us who like romance don't miss out on this show amazing actIng and an amazing storyline! I believe you people will savor evey second of it!!!!!

Was perfect from the 1sc to the last one! it wasn't surrealist..in fact that's the reality, and that aspect that writer used was really amazing because thanks to that it's a freaking masterpiece. this is A MUST WATCH drama. it gave me soo much lessons that i wished i had back at my highschool's days. I hope that we can have another drama as this one like another season with different students etc... this drama is one of those that you'll watch it 16 hours~ without skiping anything. And the acting well.. THE ACTING WAS BRILLANT, ALL the cast was really good, made us pass from love to hate, frustration anxity happiness.. They did such an amazing job..as for the main actors..OH well THEY ALL ARE MAIN ACTORS, well of cours we have " the principal ones" but everybody had his one story, and gave us ALL the necessary feelings This drama is priceless.
The music was also perfect, perfect song at the good moments not some random music like in some dramas.
As for the rewatch value i'm gonna watch it AGAIN AND AGAIN until i'll be able to watch it without subs.
Thank you writer thank you korea thank u everybody T_T now i'm gonna cry because it's the freaking end and my life now has no meaning without my bromance and sismance and teachermance's week T_T

The story- it's quite atypical for me because the cast is all 40'S something but the story itself is funny and romantic. Deals with the romance of middle age man and woman with a funny dialogue especially with kim ha neul and jang dong gun.
The cast- jang dong gun is daebak in this drama, I really didn't know him before this drama but now I'm one of his fangirls^^. Kim ha neul delivered the role really well and maeh ri(forgot her real name) is adorable coz she will do anything to get a mans love.
You should definitely watch this if you want some light-hearted romantic comedy.

The whole story is just beautiful and heartwarming.
I think it's the first Korean drama where I actually like the first childhood episodes more than the late episodes.
AH-MAZING child actors !! especially Yeo Jin Goo there were so many scenes where he literally wowed me. His acting was so good that I found my self repeating many scenes. Yoo SeungHo, on the other hand, was MAD good. I was actually surprised to see him in that kind of role and he did good. His scenes in the last two episodes were breath-taking

I did watch the very end.
The one positive was the eye candy they provided.
WHile it shows not all in life is a fairytale. I am hoping that is what the writers were going for.
I hated it in the end.
I would not recommend it to anyone.

One thing I can say about this show is that it was amazing at making me emotional. I don't cry often when watching dramas unless I'm really touched, but I found myself in tears often while watching this show. Future shows like this need to pay attention to this show. Hiring actors instead of idols makes a world of difference.
That being said, while I enjoyed most of this, there were some things that bugged me constantly. The one thing that never sat right with me about this show was how the class was portrayed. When you listen to K-Pop for a long time, one thing you notice a lot is that music videos about school get banned instantly the second someone thinks they see even a hint of violence. I'm not a fan of hypocrites, so to see a show aired where school violence is such a major event (even though I understand this is how schools are there), it's incredibly irritating.
Another thing that bugged me a lot was the way the writers went about making certain things happen. In order to make sure misunderstandings would occur, they'd always set it up in a way that was horrible to watch because it made absolutely no sense. Somebody would suddenly do something they would never do otherwise, and you just know that it's happening for the sole reason of making the misunderstanding seem true.
Now then, as much as I disliked all of that (and some other things that I feel are too small to be mentioned), I was absolutely in love with this cast. Their chemistry and the ways they interacted with each other were a joy to watch. I had absolutely no trouble believing any of it. It really helped that almost the entire cast was given a backstory of their own. When you give an actor a reason to act like they do, it lets you connect with them and that, in turn, makes their acting believable.
The music for this show was okay. I wasn't blown away by anything, but it wasn't horrible either.
If I were going to rewatch this, it would be in the distant future, and I'd be doing a lot of skipping. Especially the ending. The ending for this drama was, by far, one of the least satisfying endings I have ever seen. That alone almost had me giving this drama a score of 7 instead of the 8 I gave it.
Overall, the drama wasn't as mind-blowing as people were making it out to be. There were a lot of times during the first 2-4 episodes where I was seriously considering dropping it. If I had watched this as it was airing instead of waiting as long as I had to start it, I can almost guarantee that I wouldn't have finished.

The story is so cute. I like that the progression of the relationships made sense (for the most part). It was fun to watch, and I never once felt the need to chuck my computer into a wall. Its not the most thrilling of plot lines, but that's what action movies/dramas are for, right?
The acting is really good. No complaints from me. So, I may now have a HUGE crush on Yamashita Tomohisa now - seriously. SERIOUSLY. And I didn't realize when I started this show, but this is the same lead actress from Paradise Kiss. I loved her in that! She's so awesome!
The music is so catchy. What is up with all these J-dramas and their ridiculously catchy OSTs? It fit the tone of the drama so well and really gave it a "fun and energized" feel.
I could definitely rewatch this. Seriously, its so light-hearted and fun (which is kind of a relief in this sea-of-tears known as dramaland)
If you want a cute, fun, smile-inducing, well-made drama, this is the one for you! (plus all those bathtub scenes...sizzle'n...)
