kinca Jan 11 2026 12:24 pm it just........ feel sad.......... the senior high school literally live on this drama....... i miss being senior high school student so bad.......... i can't seem to move on from the past.....................

whosthat_itsmeduh Jul 27 2025 1:59 am I can’t remember that last time I finished a drama in one night. Each episode was actually so fun to watch. Not many people liked the ending.. but I was quite satisfied with how it turned out.

Dede Jul 16 2025 1:12 pm Sorry I don't like the plot twist. Dont ever make this type of series again. Give back my time

Jisung Jun 25 2025 6:49 am I'm surprised that this kdrama was filmed in 2023, I thought its a new one, i mean like they film this in 2024 or this year

G Jun 24 2025 8:35 pm Episode 4:

I’m sorry, but how are we supposed to empathise with ML? Why is he depicted as such a loser now? Just because of his crush on the girl, he spends the whole night looking at her IG Profile and thus falls asleep on the bus and loses his campaign outfit? And he’s running for VP? Jeezus, what a loser. And he has the audacity to initially scoff at his friend who’s on the other team when he takes the stand to sing… when he himself has done nothing for his campaign and hasn’t even memorised his team’s chants. UGH.

Quinn Jun 23 2025 1:28 pm This drama deserve a high rating, it was worth it!!! 10/10

Hana Kimi Jun 20 2025 2:38 pm This drama is so good! I really enjoyed it to the fullest. It has a refreshing storyline and isn't your typical cliché bullying drama. The character development is amazing — seeing someone go from a bad person to a good one, and realizing that the person who seemed good was actually the real villain who just used others for their own benefit. My favorite characters are Kang Jae Won and the guy with the headphones! But I was really disappointed with how the main character's friendship ended. ?

vel Jun 19 2025 1:26 pm this was soo good but im kinda dissatisfied with the ending i feel like it was too rushed

Kiki Jun 19 2025 8:34 am This was so good plus the plot twist I Was Shocked!!

lyn Jun 09 2024 5:27 pm I feel like ive been waiting for this drama foreverr??

Genesis77 Oct 24 2023 10:16 pm Well, I'm willing to watch. I see Lee Jung Sic is in this drama, I so want his career to really grow and for casting directors to pay attention to him. He's gorgeous and he's credible as an actor. Please give him more chances.
