>A slice of life for high schoolers and the problems they face, not the least of which are their parents. This one is about being bullied and surviving it.


PLOT
-----
The writer was clearly bullied, or knows someone who was bullied, It's well told and presented, with a story that moves at a really good pace throughout, constantly adding more elements and threads and then progressively resolving those threads (and sometimes, adding a few more to resolve later too). This one carries a strong message for high schoolers who will be experiencing turmoils of emotions and pressures from all sides, it explores the student who is under ridiculous pressure from his parents, loneliness of being the outcast, the pain of constant torture and beratement, humiliation - and just how calculatingly and appallingly mean school kids can be. It's easy for those who don't know to dismiss just how evil some kids can be.

CAST
------

Kim So Hyun plays as twin sisters, with the bullied orphan twin Eun-Bi who lives in a hospice, involved in an incident and losing her memories and finding herself in her sisters life, a sister she never knew even existed, with everyone calling her by her sisters name and she's got new friends and an entirely different place in the world, she even has a Mom now and is living life like it's a dream.

I've got to be honest and say my main reason for watching it was simply that it was another opportunity to see the amazing Kim So Hyun do her work - She is a talented actress - I could tell the difference between the twins Eun Bi and Eun Byul at a glance.

Nam Joo Hyuk's acting was maybe a bit stiff but nothing alarming and it's pretty promising knowing that's it's only the second drama he has played in. He is one of the reason I watched the show.

I also liked seeing Kim Joon Seok play the part of the homeroom teacher. The role fit him like a glove and he was so adorably funny. "That wasn't it was it?" haha this line always cracked me up. You'll understand once you watch it.

As for the antagonist (The person who apposes the main character; aka, the main "villain"), she annoyed me to the point where I literally kept glaring and making scary faces at my screen (which means the actress did her job greatly at performing her role. Applause). I really haven't been this annoyed by a character for so long. In fact, so far I think she's the most annoying character I ever stumbled upon. But, I did feel bad for her at the end.

The class as a whole were likable. They pulled through together till the very end, and had memorable moments. It gave me goosebumps. (And apparently it gave them too lol)

VERDICT
----------

An okay drama to watch with low expectations. Do not let Kim Sohyun and the awesome soundtrack deceive you. It has a lacking plot and stagnating characters, and you will spend most of the time watching it with the urge to slap someone or skip lot of scenes to get to the conclusion

Enjoyed it from start to finish and found the music really catchy. Actors were all great, and the production was excellent too. Really recommend this one to everyone but especially those more aligned with its age group, it carries a powerful message delivered at the end. The premise changes compared to SCHOOL 2017 ; but the core concept ; parental pressure ; suicide and bullying are shown to educate highscoolers.
