Hey everyone, so it's the holidays so I decided to start on watching some dramas. I found this drama because one of the characters in this drama is actually a member of a K-Pop group A-Pink called Eun-Ji. So I watched the trailer for this drama before it started, but I didn't think much of it really. I thought maybe it would be like another sort of Glee show with singing and dancing but I was wrong!
Ok so this is a drama which is based mostly around a high-school which is quite education focused. Students strive to be on top in their grades. With even one mark wrong in a test can mean that they get a whiplash or something. Ok this seems severe but is actually the norm ok :) So anyway, there's a group of students who are at the bottom of the ranking and just happen to be in a dance group as well. I'm just going to spill the beans here, but in the first episode things happen, and their group is disbanded because of the corrupt principal and school system (you figure this out as more episodes go on). This is due to the student's parents who are wealthy and have a lot of power so they do things such as bribe the principal and school to help their students in any way popular.
Now from only watching the first episode I was already hooked because there's some usual K-Drama stuff like back-stabbing and friendships falling apart, and getting caught up in those fake love affairs lol. But after watching a few episodes you realise that there's more than meets the eyes. I believe a lot of this drama is about friendship/ frenemies?? haha, and dealing with parent's expectations which I think a lot of students can relate to. There's also something which I thought was interesting which adds to this drama as a whole. "No adult can be trusted", that's at least a message from watching this movie anyway, and at least that is true for the families who are higher up with power. The people who are higher up may have everything from wealth, to brains may not have something which can make them happy, and that is friends, and free time.
And if you are interested, there is a love triangle, but that doesn't appear until some episodes in so watch out for that haha. There was something else I wanted to add but I have forgotten now. Although the drama was targeted as a cheerleading drama (at least that's what I thought at first), there so much stuff going on, and seriously this is one of the most emotional dramas I have ever seen. Seriously if you want to feel every emotion, this is the drama to look for. And as for the hooks, luckily the drama doesn't end funny in each episode, but is hooking enough for us to want to watch more.
Overall I will have to give this drama at least a 9.5/10. It is soooooo good. Mostly because the script is written so well, and the actors play their parts so well. If you are looking for something dramatic this is the show for you. I live watching school dramas, and I have seen quite a few, but this one tops them all in terms of plot-line. You wouldn't think some things happen but they really do. I'm up to the last episode now, I started 2 days ago so I can't wait to finish soon. Well sort of anyway, I'll be dreading it once I finish the drama, but yea, hope you enjoyed this post!
