Notes

"School 2021" takes over KBS2's Wed. & Thu. 21:30 time slot previously occupied by "Dali and Cocky Prince."
Based on novel "Oh, Naui Namjadeul!" by Lee Hyun (published May 20, 2011 by Munhak Dongne).
Early working title was "Oh, Naui Namjadeul" ("Oh, My Men").
Ahn Seo-Hyun was first offered the lead female role, but could not come to an agreement with production company SR Pictures.
Kim Sae-Ron was offered the lead female role, but declined.
Ep.1 air date was originally scheduled to air November 17, 2021, but was changed to November 24, 2021. An extra tested positive for COVID-19 on November 13, 2021, causing all staff and cast to be given tests. Actor Kim Yo-Han tested positive, hence the delay in broadcasting ep.1.

Comments

Aichan Jan 18 2022 3:37 pm Ep 1 was slow but after that it got really good. I liked the chemistry between the main characters Ki joon and Ji won. They are sweet and innocent, exemplifying first love. Perhaps some prefer the cold bad boy image with a soft heart and others prefer the silly innocent boy so it affects how they appreciate the drama.

The story becomes really meaningful from mid season onwards— focusing in the struggles of youth and how they pull through it.

Agnes Jan 16 2022 10:30 pm I would like to know the reason why my last comments was not published. I feel very insulted and discriminated. Please explain

Patricia Jan 16 2022 6:29 am I really like this drama! I hope there was season 2!!! Thank you for the happiness and I love you guys! - from Philippines <3

Sam Asakura Jan 16 2022 4:30 am The drama was soo good but I didn't really like the main couple. Their relationship was a bit boring to watch despite my admiration for Jiwon. My favorite character is Kand Seo young. She's so charismatic and so beautiful. It's just a drama I know but in real life there's no way Young Joo wouldn't fall in love with her but with Jiwon instead.

Abdulmajid hashir Jan 14 2022 4:11 pm I am a fan ok Kdrama, this is on of my best. All the high school romance, This is a very remarkable kdrama I like all the stars it’s just wonderful I always feel happy while watching I never wanted it to finish. Lol. Thank you for this drama and the happiness I felt.

gaseboo Jan 14 2022 6:36 am for me this drama is okay. just a light kdrama. i enjoyed it and this is one of my comfort kdrama. i wish there's more scenes of seoyoungju couple, they're too cuteeee ❤❤

Stacy Jan 12 2022 10:30 am One day I'd like to see kdrama with Jung Young-Joo as main character who will have enough power to bring the justice to the world...

Shara Dec 30 2021 2:13 pm I just want Ji Won and Young Joo to end up together so badly ?

NANA MJ Dec 29 2021 4:03 am Best drama .I fan since School 2015.This is also a good drama .

gal Dec 26 2021 10:13 am Nothing can't beat Dream High. The most successful drama about idols. Look the casts now being the Top actresses/actors

Jack Dec 22 2021 11:34 pm Seoyoung deserves everything, I really hope she is happy in the end.

Huh Dec 22 2021 11:24 pm Although the plot is quite cliché, I still appreciate and enjoy light youth dramas like this one. It simply mirrors that life does not always have absurd dramatic moments. But I have to say that I like the chemistry of Young Joo and Ji Won more than the male lead. I find that character of Ki Joon is so dull and exhaustingly plain. Nevertheless, congratulations to all the rookie artists who made this drama possible.

john Dec 17 2021 2:41 pm show is bland and so generic, like there's nothing in this show I haven't seen in other kdrama, this show even does it worst, can't count the number of times I rolled my eyes at cringe scenes...

posi Dec 17 2021 3:41 am yes it's light, but i like it. they're cute. and I miss light romance school drama. there's not a lot in korean drama.

they always come with heavy background story.

JoHan Dec 16 2021 6:28 pm If young JoJo doesn’t get everything he wants and deserves by the end of this drama, I will simply unalive myself! He is so cute!!!

Tjams Dec 16 2021 12:39 am This drama is really great.The actors and actresses are all excellent, their appearance, their acting are so splendid and very nice,I really appreciate the team for coming up with this drama.This drama is my favourite now, i wish all the episodes are completed and released by now.... Thank you so much

Our Beloved Summer Dec 15 2021 9:34 pm Plot is so so, but the character Jung Young-Joo is kind of something outdated, kids these days aren't like him. He's completely blind only trusting his small brain doesn't even try to see anything else. Even his partner in the carpentry competition know what's going on but he didn't even try to understand literally take shit face value

Sofie Dec 15 2021 5:56 pm After The King's Affection...School 2021 is my new drama binge...together with Snowdrop,MBC's The Second Husband, and Kim Soohyun's One Ordinary Day. ?

Susan Dec 10 2021 11:56 am I had so much expectation for school 2021 but man.... it's so bland, draggy and predictable. Really disappointing ☹️

Hanna Dec 10 2021 9:00 am I was so excited for this drama but it is very dissapointing cause the plot is basic and expected :(

that sky Dec 10 2021 2:57 am haih..... i watched from school 2015. & kinda excited for school 2021 tho but nahhh, why the plot so light and typical plot story?? revenge about death friends & love triangle?? The actor/tress kinda okay to me, but the story.... i skipped many scenes sbdhdbsfhsbfh im so dissapointed writer nim, are u okay??? blink twice for help

clai Dec 09 2021 9:17 pm i'm having a really big expectation in this drama since i've been waiting for it since last year,school 2017 have a special place in my heart so i really hope there is something big in school 2021,but when i watch it,it turns out it have a really basic plot,and moreover it has the same plot as school 2017,three friends, one dies and the two other blame each other and hate each other. The first episode was so boring to me i skipped a lot of parts,but the other next episode i find this drama interesting,it's a calming drama,although it have a really basic plot,But Ya'll Have To Know,The Vibe and The Feel In This Drama Is Amazing,i love how calm this drama,the story was basically a regular teenage life,and i find this drama was so rare than the drama i've seen before,every character in this drama have their own story and i'm here for it,the male and female lead was soo cute,altho i hate the fact its a Freaking Love Square,but j go w the flow lol,yall gon enjoy it, And Young-Joo Was So Hot, j watch it omg it's just a really calming drama i love it sm,this is my comfort drama ngl

Aichan Dec 09 2021 2:40 pm Kijoon is not the typical badass but I still like how cute he is.

Mizuki Dec 08 2021 7:56 pm What a waste, one of the worst from those school drama, everythibg about this drama is ?

Cliche_cheese Dec 08 2021 5:59 pm Wah this is definitely a love square! Kijoon has a crush on Seoyoung who has a crush on young joo who has a crush on jiwon who likes Ki joon. But after watching episode 5, i Don't know anymore because the boys are so confused right now while the girls definitely know who they like. But no matter how this end, I'll be rooting for young joo whoever he choose. but i have to admit, I replayed a lot of times Jiwon and Young joo moments 'cause young joo's little crush on jiwon is so cute! after episode 5, i felt like young joo may be seeing seo young as a friend like platonic love of some sort but let's find out in the next episodes hahaha can't wait for tonight's episode!

drama_editz Dec 08 2021 10:47 am I really hope seo young joo and kang seo young end up together. After watching the fifth episode I'm confused whether seo young likes jin ji won or kang seo young. I know for a fact that kang seo young likes him and jin ji won likes gong ki joon. I'm watching this drama only for the second leads. (personal opinion)

Twinnie_gennie Dec 04 2021 10:07 am This really somehow has a copy of School 2013, 2015 & 2017 but it's also different at some point. Though school corruption is really unavoidable but this series is worth it to give a shot. I preferred the second love team because I'm a fan of Cheo Young Woo since Police University I love his badass aura. The main loveline story kinda boring cliché and the acting needs more workshop. I love Cho Yi Hyun when she was in Hospital Playlist I guess it depends on the role.

Yooli Dec 04 2021 2:02 am So basically the plot is copy and paste lol. Disappointing!

Mari Dec 02 2021 4:33 pm The actors are really good, i like their acting , i love the storyline too. It need more views, its areally good drama.

Jjang Dec 02 2021 12:19 pm Come here after watching 4th episode. At the start I was just curious, but the 4th episode just hit me hard. We all indeed have our hidden secret for every action we did, not because we're bad person, we just have other hidden meaning behind that.. Really appreciated this episode, you guys must watch it

fan since school 2013 Dec 02 2021 3:35 am I do not know if my expectation is just high or it is not good enough. School 2015 and 2017 is just great but this one is not

cinnamon Dec 02 2021 3:02 am Despite all the controversies, but i admit that this school 2021 have the same vibes as school 2013 and 2015! I love it! All the actors act good, even they have some flaws but its unnecessary~ I didnt know that im gonna love it. Been months i stopped watch on going kdrama because most of the story are too heavy, but this one make me want to watch for the next episodes! I guess im gonna catch a 2nd lead syndrome, because Youngjoo's charm are can't be resisted, too dazzling! He serve a tsundere with a soft-heart love him!!

Bibi Dec 01 2021 10:33 am South Korea with their love triangle of a thing At times I get bored of it But at the same time I'm loving it.. I will give this a shot

aosora Nov 29 2021 7:06 pm woww.. i just realized that all of the main cast (students) are at the same age

Zeinab Nov 27 2021 3:39 pm it’s literally the same plot as school 2017 and true beauty. Three friends, one dies and the two other blame each other and hate each other. I’m tired of this plot, why not something new??? Also I’m really loving Young Joo, I will be watching for him, first time seeing this actor.

upi Nov 27 2021 4:55 am Yulje's director & nurse got married and their daughter became an intern..

Tatia Nov 27 2021 3:47 am One of the worst school drama kbs have made so far, annoying af

Koi Nov 26 2021 9:25 am The actor are adorable but seems like my days of watching school series are over. All previous school series I watched had real plots not just focused on Draggy love triangle or love Square like this school. It's exhausting and unoriginal... like every basic drama.

... Nov 26 2021 3:37 am Hwang boreum byeol.. she is my crush from that webdrama with arin... Love to see her finally in a TV drama

Yuly Nov 26 2021 1:36 am The main cast and supporting cast is very adorable. Right now I'm watching a set of heavy dramas, so I love the refresh that comes with this one. Have watched 2 episodes, and can say that it does tackle deep issues, but I feel that the drama will still be bright and light-hearted. Few plotlines are repetitive, but I'm sure something new will also be added.

Staying for the cast and their adorable chemistry and on-screen presence :)

Oxy Gen Nov 25 2021 9:52 pm I lost my interest in School series after 2015, but I will give this one a chance from the teaser it can match my taste, hope I don't dissapoint...

LiminNG Nov 25 2021 9:51 pm Watched both first 2 eps and I must say I’m liking it! The comedy made me LOL at times. The cinematography is beautiful. Although the ML is a new actor, he can really act though. I’m impressed. In fact, the FL/SML/SFL are also really good in their respective roles. Even the guy acting as HoSung is good and so funny. The plot twist at the end of ep2 tho… hinting at some real-life grave issues in SK.

Ngobrol Sehat Nov 25 2021 7:17 pm good drama with fresh actors, it brings change in drama series school.

withjoyfulsenescence Nov 25 2021 12:48 am Young love *sigh* all the butterflies in the stomach *sigh* though, from experience, sometimes you don't notice the little butterflies until you look back on it. But it'd still be as pure and innocent. Episode 1 looks promising for me. Hoping for a good overall story. :)

Allyson Nov 24 2021 5:40 pm I love you so much.. Kim Yohan

Ssinhee Nov 22 2021 7:17 am Watched the teaser and it looks better that I expected, will definitely try to watch it

Sooyaaaa Sep 12 2021 6:57 pm Hwang Boreum Byeol is new actress. Waiting to see her acting!

Luna Aug 10 2021 3:43 pm Still no actress for Na Geum Young role. I wonder if the role is cursed or what. Sympathy for other casts and production team. I hope everything goes well.

one it Aug 09 2021 1:49 pm waiting to see yohan! ☺️

enna Aug 06 2021 6:28 am Still waiting for this drama, see you soon Yohan! ?

lily Jul 24 2021 8:09 pm I've been waiting for it. Please PDnim make it fast. There's a lot of actor out there. Fighting, Bunny Bunny yohan.

mamasboy Jul 24 2021 8:04 pm There's a lot of actor there PDnim. I hope you find soon. Fighting! School 2021. I will definitely watch that drama. As long as My Kim Yohan is there.

anna Jul 23 2021 6:19 pm damn kim young dae's agency just dropped a bomb about the production company i dont think yall should want your idols to join this drama when the production team is so messy since last year

Naty Jul 23 2021 3:04 am Minchan from Verivery has the face of actor. Maybe Minchan can be the 2nd lead. He has good voice and so handsome too ? director-nim please get minchan from verivery

Hanie Jul 21 2021 10:49 pm As RUi, I think maybe perfect duo if Yohan can act with Donghan ?

Synkisa Jun 29 2021 6:25 pm Kim Yohan, fighting! Looking forward to your drama!

YukiChan Jun 23 2021 6:43 am I don't understand people who don't like the female lead. Cho Yi hyun is a good rookie actor. Just look at Hospital Playlist and Metamorphosis. Even though the lead male is an idol actor, but no one doesn't like him. Unfair

Nguyễn Huyền Trang Jun 20 2021 9:03 pm Please cast school 2021 : chani sf9 and kim ji soo

YuemikoSuzuhara Jun 17 2021 1:11 pm Possible candidates for female: •Lee Ruby •Jung Da Eun(2001) •Park Jung Yeon •Shin Eun Soo •Kim Yang Gi(this girl is one of the powerhouse of LOTTE) •Kang Mi Na •Kim Hyun Soo(if PH does not have season 4)

I hope they would release this series before 2021 end cause I want to see, how could they use the modern society as a reference to execute this school series. Lastly if you want to guess what theme are going to use in next season. It would be related to pandemic.

Code Orion Jun 12 2021 12:43 pm Please go all out on the female lead!!! You can't have a mediocre actress with such a powerful cast~

liveloveM Jun 12 2021 9:32 am Please cast Anna Lee from Penthouse

liveloveM Jun 12 2021 8:34 am Excited for this drama... can't wait to see kim young dae

Fera Jun 10 2021 5:15 am I'm really looking forward to this drama, I'm really excited

Shawty Jun 08 2021 8:50 am I can't believe kim young dae chose this role over the one with seo hyun jin... Like WTF????

Risyacha Jun 07 2021 2:55 am Shouldn't kim youngdae who has more experience become the lead instead of kim yohan?

Keivo Bal Jun 04 2021 10:10 pm Jung Jiso and Jo Soo Min for the main cast. Please

o Jun 03 2021 10:25 am kim sohyun

Aika Jun 02 2021 6:44 am Please cast Kim Hyun Soo for female lead...this school drama will be a success with Kim Hyun Soo as a pair for Kim Young Dae

Spacetember May 31 2021 9:05 am Hope the storyline will be better than school 2017. That one really boring.

passingbybye May 26 2021 4:21 pm so Kim Young Dae chose this project over the one with Seo Hyun Jin. Hmmmmmmmmmm

noname May 25 2021 8:47 pm can't they just make school series like school 2013, without romance and focus on friendship and daily life

Phul dung seiii May 25 2021 12:27 pm We need lead female lik Kim Yoo Jung, Jung Jiso, Jo Soomin, Kim Hye Yoon or Dabin

Jyamata ashite May 25 2021 8:15 am You cant do a school series without Kim Hye Yoon..You just cant! Please fulfill our wish of a Penthouse x Sky Castle crossover with Hye Yoon and Young Dae!

nodabs May 25 2021 7:23 am Look forward for this drama since I’ve been following School Series from 2013. Hopefully they casted Roh Jeung-eui or Jung Dabin as other main leads. Someone that from their ages also.

School2013lover May 25 2021 12:36 am I hope the 2 main leads are male like school 2013 and didn't focus on romance story but focus on school isusses like school 2013, cus im kinda disappointed on school 2015 and 2017 :(

tanjiro kamado May 25 2021 12:01 am I hope Shin Se Hwi or Ji Woo

junggumza May 24 2021 10:52 pm New 'actor' to be outshines by my Baeksang Rookie Nominee boy

aky May 24 2021 9:46 pm wow this character really suits yohan so well !! real life yohan was also a national taekwondo player then had an ankle injury and ended up quitting taekwondo so i understand why they casted him tbh and im looking forward to this!

Chaenielee May 12 2021 7:55 pm I believed that they changed the story from a former taekwando player Kim Tae Jin to Joo Do bin (Kim Yohan). A hardworking student who takes on work and school at the same time and achieves his dream job after learning about love and friendship.

Kim Yohan as Joo Do bin (ML) Kim Young dae as ? (2nd ML) Jo Yihyun as ? (FL)

This will be broadcast on November 2021.

confirmed cast May 01 2021 8:35 pm Kim Yo-Han as Kim Tae-Jin Jo Yi-Hyun as Na Geum-Young Kim Young-Dae as ???? ???? as Kim Yoo-Jung (hopefully wjsn eunseo)

Natasha ~ Apr 24 2021 8:54 am Some salty fans in the comment section dragging down Yohan.

Evil laughter*

Guess what?

Yohan's Still The Lead. You guys can continue to sulk all you want, but pretty much everyone else is supporting him. His acting in A Love So Beautiful was well loved by many. Please, I beg you, continue to be angry, it'll make our day since haters are spending so much of their time hating on him. Isn't that such a waste? Your misery is our happiness.

Have a most unpleasant day.

Ps. Sincerely, thank you for making us happy by making yourselves unhappy. There is no greater joy in life than unhappy haters.

Ha ji so Mar 27 2021 4:48 am They should offer Min Seol Ah From Penthouse

Ivanna Mar 26 2021 6:15 am I just finished watching ALSB ang I loved Kim Yohan's acting for his role ❤ New fan. Happy to know that I can look forward to a new drama soon with him as the male lead again ??

Ramela Mar 18 2021 5:04 am I really can't wait like since 2020 find cast naaa Buy either ways Bae Suzy is a great cast

Dalancy Mar 17 2021 10:54 pm A lot of people are saying that you should cast kim hyun soo and kim young dae as main leads and not going to lie I really like them too. But I think that they are very consistent of casting kim yo han as main lead because he is very suited for the character kim tae-jin as because he was a taekwondo player. But of course I do really want the two to have a drama together I think they will do so well. But this drama is for my kim yo han. It wouldn't be right for someone else to take his character because kim yo han waited and wanted to take on this role. Well looking forward to this great drama!!

Happiness Mar 02 2021 11:49 pm Waaah, after 4years!!!!!! Waiting for new casts!!!!

Awi ka rei Mar 01 2021 12:31 pm We need Penthouse female cast Min Seol Ah, Bae Rona, Jenni, Eun Byeol & Seok Kyung

jsy Feb 26 2021 3:38 pm Kinda excited for this because Im a convert fan of actor Kim Yohan. He made the lead male role on ALSB actually more likeable than the original! It's hard to make a jerk-role warm and charming! The School series has always favored casting drama newbies or those with just some experience under their belt and they all and up having good careers eventually (a recent exception is Kim So hyun who was already well known when 2015 came out) so I expect to see fresh faces for 2021 as well.

And in light of recent events, I hope they don't cast anyone with a shady school past in any of the roles.

SukRo Couple Feb 26 2021 2:44 pm Kim Hyun Soo and Kim Young Dae as lead female and lead male pleaseee

Lee Feb 24 2021 8:04 pm I hope kbs will cast kim hyun soo & kim young dae as a couple in this school 2021

Risa Feb 24 2021 6:12 pm Kim hyun soo as female lead please

Lol Feb 23 2021 12:48 am KYH's acting is not that great is ALSB probably because that is how the male lead is like? He's acting the same as the chinese version of the drama and I think he acts well. I do agree that they should not cast people based on their popularity but that is what will bring the ratings of the drama up. Honestly, I don't mind if he's casted for this because I want to know if can go beyond his comfort and show us a new side of him. Also, I don't think they will pick Kim So Hyun because she previously played in School 2015.

Anastashia Feb 22 2021 7:46 am Yo~han u can make it,and am cheering you up,looking forward for your matured role,godbless you always??

Go Eunbyeol Feb 22 2021 1:48 am Please have kim so hyun

ner Feb 21 2021 6:11 am i dont understand why production team of school 2021 being really persistent on casting Yohan as the male lead... his acting as the main actor in ALSB is not that good tbh. his expression, energy & the way he talk is really frustrating/disappointing like urghhh.

as a KBS's School drama fan, if he's acting is not improving & causes the dwfall of School drama, idk what to say. Casting an actor based on his/her popularity but then they cannot deliver quality performance sucks btw :/

HOPING FOR A GREAT FEMALE LEAD, GREAT SECOND LEAD AND GREAT SUPPORTING ACTOR/ACTRESS SO THIS DRAMA CAN BE SUCCESSFUL LIKE OTHER SCHOOL SERIES!!!

Mally Feb 20 2021 2:47 pm The drama penthouse hits because there’s bae rona (Kim hyun soo) and Kim youngdae (Kim seokhoon)

Halin Feb 20 2021 2:44 pm I hope the female lead would be Kim Hyun soo from the penthouse school 2021 would be hits if Kim hyun soo,Kim young dae and Kim yohan

Ashley H Baek Feb 18 2021 11:02 am Please have Kim Hyun Soo from Penthouse to play the role! She is the one who plays Bae Ro Na and she and Young Dae have said that they want to do a romantic comedy together!

Lalalalalal Feb 18 2021 9:56 am Kang Hyewon from Izone is so perfect to be a female lead at that drama

Chaeyoung Feb 18 2021 5:42 am Please give the lead female role for hong yeon from mr queen a.k.a chae so eun

Bila ju Feb 18 2021 1:44 am Min Seol Ah from Penthouse please..and also maybe from True Beauty too

Safia Feb 15 2021 4:54 am how about seok kyung from penthouse for the female lead ? or maybe girl with lee do hyun on 18 again who play the younger version of the mom

Yeyeisme Feb 15 2021 4:47 am Female lead shin ye eun please!

Wew Feb 14 2021 6:01 pm Since the female lead do not confirm yet, here my suggestion, it will be better if you put soo jin from true beauty.

-Text-MARKer- Jan 26 2021 11:52 am I don't think the Storyline is the best from the School Storys [2013, 2015...], but i think it still will be good!

Ms frank Jan 26 2021 6:24 am School 2015 will always be the best for me, this school 2021 storyline is not so interesting

kimyohaniiiie Jan 25 2021 8:27 am kim saeron pls as female lead! i really miss her acting! saeron and yohan surely will suit this drama :)))

SERA Oct 02 2020 7:16 am Kim Yohan's drama film was not canceled but only moved TV channels?

Nikki Sep 03 2020 11:18 am Is it really cancelled?? :( I was really looking forward to this drama

Nia Jun 14 2020 4:47 am It's sad that it is canceled :(

- May 13 2020 9:32 am i was so excited about this drama, but i heard it's cancelled? damn i hope you guys can make a new one :(

Yona May 11 2020 2:16 am Dear KBS,

   Hello KBS Drama team,I would like to request you something.I’m a fan of School Series and also become to be a fan of Kim Yohan. When SBS announced “School 2020” will cast with Kim Yohan, I was so excited and looking forward to it. Believe me, it is not only me.At first, Drama was scheduled to be aired in August. I know that KBS will no longer air the drama for some cases, I’m wondering the drama is totally canceled or still can be air by other station? Or the production also stopped? There are lot of Kim Yohan fans across many countries, as a prove he even got rank 1 in the survival show of produce x101. Also School Drama is famous. I’m definitely sure, it will be a hit . It’d be sorry to lose such a chance. Please confirm the date of air or announce the something related to “School 2020” drama whether it is canceled or not, we(fans) need clarification. We need to prepare to support for our idols. 
  Please kindly consider about it and I hope all the program of KBS may become more successful. Thank you for always giving us happiness through many dramas and program. Have a nice day !

With best wishes, Yona

Nena May 03 2020 12:51 am I will. To watch it for Yo Han is a cast member. Guy should just stick to singing.

Arya Apr 26 2020 8:57 pm Just let kim so hyun cast again it will be a perfect that's it

sxph Apr 18 2020 3:34 pm i don't think it's been cancelled completely (at least not yet), i think they've only announced that kbs won't air it. maybe they can find another station willing to take it on

jessi Apr 15 2020 5:28 pm it's officially cancelled. im so sad bec i really want to see kim sae ron doing main role in small screen again and im looking forward to kim yohan's acting debut but bec of the casting controversy between the staff and ahn seo hyun, this drama has been cancelled. :(

Choding Mar 23 2020 9:34 pm yessss yohan and saeron i support~~!!! they are only one year different that really matches with each other xDDD

K-lover Mar 21 2020 11:39 am Sae-Ron I’m looking forward to this drama hope u consider the offer positive #kimcouple

Yupi Mar 21 2020 7:59 am Kim yohan hwaiting!!!

Honey Mar 21 2020 1:15 am Kim Saeron!!!! ? ? ? I can't wait!!

Luna Mar 21 2020 12:58 am I like that it is Kim Saeron that would play the female lead. At least she's considering the offer and I hope she really accept the offer. She's a great actress and I think she would look great with Kim Yohan.

Dina K Mar 20 2020 11:23 pm I hope jaemin or jeno will be the second lead male pliss . . .

DD. Mar 20 2020 3:42 pm OMO imagine if Somi was cast in the drama. She has the potential and does taekwondo too. Imagine her actual father running the karaoke place like in the description as well. Would defs watch

gl Mar 20 2020 3:37 pm Imagine if Somi got casted, we’re in for a taekwondo treat hehe

Lah Mar 20 2020 1:40 pm I really like kim sae ron, but I think she doesn't match the main leader, I will follow him for his acting skills

anna Mar 20 2020 9:38 am please, i hope there is no kiss scene here because they are too young for this besides, they will be uncomfortable with each other since they in 19-20 age. and, are they main or lead, who are the main actor, because lead actor never have kiss scene right.

luv Mar 20 2020 5:54 am Shin Yuna or Shin Ryujin of ITZY plss cast them as second lead female..

Ela Malasan Mar 20 2020 2:27 am I wan Kim Sae Ron to be a female lead

sassygirl989 Mar 19 2020 1:49 pm thank you pd-nims for hearing my wish that kim sae ron be offered the lead role!!!!!! I really hope she confirms!!!! and pls pd-nim could you also add nam da reum to the cast maybe as a 2nd lead. i would love to see a love triangle among yohan, sae ron and da reum <3

Lalin Mar 15 2020 2:19 am Kim hyunsoo please, it's been awhile she in drama

Sha sha sha Mar 11 2020 11:20 am I want Kim Sae Ron to play the lead alongside. She will add value to the project and she definitely will nail her role with her incredible acting experience. Please consider Kim Sae Ron.

Coco Feb 28 2020 2:18 am Yes kim sae ron

Put Feb 24 2020 9:53 am I hope Kim hyang gi the lead female

Fan Feb 16 2020 7:10 am Would love to see kim sae Ron in this!! She'd be awesome and I want her popularity to rise! Loved her in leverage and I don't want her gone for too long again!

TeobokkiLuvs Feb 11 2020 9:25 am Shin Ye Eun (1998), Kim Hye Yoon, (1996) or Jung Chae Yeon (1997) would fit the role of Na Geum Young! Casting Directors please consider them.

Ahn Seo Hyun is good too but her age is a little too young, it would be weird for the audiences to see if in a kissing scene with the male lead since she is still a minor in middle school.

Preferably someone the same age as Yohan or older would be better since Yohan looks more mature than his actual age.

Jojo Feb 11 2020 8:53 am I hope Kim Hye Yoon acts alongside with Kim Yohan instead, Ahn Seo Hyun is an awesome actress but she is a little too young. Besides, Hye Yoon will fit the School 2020 Series character so well. She is a wonderful actress and i am sure tons of fans would love to see her in School 2020.

Ara Jones Feb 09 2020 6:05 am I hope Ahn Seo Hyun accept it... She's an awesome actress... Who are we to judge who fits with who... If u dont like it,, dont watch it.. Simple.

aishah Feb 07 2020 1:19 am i think ahn seohyun dont suit the lead actress cuz she is to young . i think lee soo min (2001) suit the school vibes and the are many actress that is same age with yohan such as kim saeron , mina , naeun

jodi Feb 06 2020 7:21 pm is it true that jeongyeon has also been offered the lead role?

Uma Feb 05 2020 5:30 am Im soo exited can't wait to watch it

Mafu Feb 04 2020 6:28 pm So excited about this kk~ why the role so fit for Yohannie? Kk

Choi soora Feb 04 2020 11:06 am Cant waiitt aaakk yohan-ah hwaiting!

Shi Feb 04 2020 5:08 am I can't wait!!

LoveJoy Feb 03 2020 11:48 pm I am so happy both leads are my favvv
