For me, a few dramas kind to mind.
During my sophomore year, I had to undergo treatment and was in the hospital for about three months. During that time, my friend introduced me to "Prosecutor Princess". The drama is close to my heart because it served as a great distraction from the painful medical treatments. I didn't have to think about needles and white blood cell counts. All that mattered was when Hyeri and Inwoo would get together or how cute Inwoo was despite his ridiculous outfits. "Prosecutor Princess" is one of my favorite dramas not only because its witty writing, amazing actors, and remarkable chemistry. It's special because it got me through a hard time in my life and helped me bond with that friend.
I have to do a special shoutout to "Dae Mul" at this point. This same friend and I decided to embark on this drama when I went into physical rehabilitation. Go Hyunjung was ridiculously charismatic and commanded all of my attention. This drama was refreshing because the protagonist didn't need a man to succeed. She managed to become president on her own will, passion, and hard work. That's something you don't often see in K-Drama land.
"Reply 1997" aired during my senior year, and boy did the feelings resonate. The drama managed to make me laugh, cry, and ponder. Shiwon was so lovable, and I felt that I could connect with every character in one way or another. Whether it touched upon fangirl moments, matters of family, and leaving home for college, "Reply 1997" did such a wonderful job of almost summarizing life that I had lived for the past 18 years. I am now in college, and I don't really have times for Korean dramas. "Reply 1997" is technically the last drama I have religiously committed to, and in some odd way, it's fitting.

My favorite is probably Dream High, although School 2013 is a close runner up. It hade its flaws, but Dream High had such wonderfully golden moments that I still love to dig up an rewatch every now and then.

Heartless City?

Thank you for the giveaway!

I'd have to say mine is between Dream High and Answer Me 1997. I'd say Answer Me 1997 has an edge though because of the pop culture references that I love (HOT! Eun Ji Won!) but also I loved all the main cast members. The parents were also absolutely adorable one moment and making me cry the next. It's one of those few dramas I rewatched that still got to me the second time around. Right in the gut. And tear ducts.

I definitely like Heirs!! No one can say no to Lee Minho and Kim Woobin! >.<

To be honest, my favorite kdrama set in high school would have to be Angry Mom, although High School King of Savvy is a close second (but most of it is outside school xD).

Angry Mom was really funny and sweet, and although completely unbelievable, I still loved the main cast (but mainly just the idea of a kickass mom who would have the nerve to go to school with you and beat up all your classmates). Also, it made for some interesting situations trying to explain to my classmates my new favorite kdramas when they mostly watch melo, variety, and rom-com. But hey, Bok-Dong/Bang-Wool ship for life, amirite?

has to be either biscuit teacher or Delightful girl choon hyang.
I have yet to watch any drama with Gong Hyo Jin that disappoints. Perhaps she should reteam with Gong yoo and maybe some of her luck can trickle down.

Old but still my fave: Sang Doo Lets Go to School

Love reply 1997 too ❤️

Boys Over Flowers :)

GOONG, hands down! I was so obsessed with this drama and could not get over the chemistry between yoon eun-hye and joon ji-hoon.

Definitely shut up flower boy band! Not only is it my favorite high school drama but it is also one of my all time favorite dramas.

My favorite is Answer Me 1997!

I'm from the Philippines, and I don't know if this counts as high-school drama but Princess Hours/Goong is definitely my fave! Young Yoon Eun Hye and Ju Ji Hoon, not to mention the teenage angst and romance portrayed.
*sigh*
Can we not have a reunion drama for these two? :)

My favorite is most definitely Boys Over Flowers. It was my very first kdrama, too :) It's that one drama where I wish I was the one in the girl's shoes, haha!

Dream High taught us to dream big, work hard, and in a course of a great montage, you too can become a wonderful dancer, singer, and lose weight and look hot. lol. So, it was exaggerated, it definitely had that addicting appeal that excited me to look forward to the next episode. And while I definitely was not happy with Song Sam Dong winning Hyemi's heart the first time I watched the show, it was the show itself that persuaded me to watch it again and again till I fell for Sam Dong and Kim Soo Hyun. In fact, it is with Sam Dong's persistence in mind that I watch School 2015. Because in the end, the persistent underdog did win. And, I am so with you GF still aboard the Tae Kwang - Eun Bi ship, because if this ship sinks, I don't even know what I will do. Seriously, any cure for the second lead syndrome? SHHH... WHAT Second lead. GAHHHHH.... GIRLFRIDAY HALLPPPPPP

Best? Dream High for sure. Can I say worst now? Because that would definitely be Dream High 2. *sighs* it had so much potential...

Answer Me 1997 - my favorite drama hands down. Eunji was amazing with Seo In-guk :D And Dream High was cracktastic. And School 2013. And Angry Mom! So many high school dramas. Time to rewatch things.

dream high because it got me hooked on dramas and it was adorable also school 2015 because it's so addicting

Loved Operation Proposal! I'm a sucker for all romantic stuff and first love stories!!

School 2015 is my favorite its just got so much muchness. I've read a lot of books THEY ARE MY LIFE .Me and my sisters share a collection of books we have almost 1,000 books in our library which i'm super proud of, anyway I have a certain character i love most in books and eun bi reminds me of the type of character i love best. shes so real and honest and just mmmm you know ? and every time i see her give that bully girl some smack i'm all yassssssssssssssss. i love jenny han and have all her bookS as well XD Oh and eun bi should totally end up with Tae-gwang

I can't wait!! It sounds so good. My fave k drama is boys over flowers

OMGGG *sobs* why US only T.T””””

princess hours was the best,it really sparked off the love of korean dramas for many(‘;
Though unrealistic, it has a sort of fairytale like atmosphere and a cute cast~! ^^ Probably the only drama which I re-watched umpteen times(*7) hehe:P

Dream High <3 <3 i just so lurveee it <3

My favorite drama set in high school is Sang Doo Let’s Go To School. It's an oldie, but a goodie. Nothing makes me think of high school in Korea more than this drama. This is the first drama i came to know the power of Gong Hyo jin (Bi was there too, and okay he was cute---really cutesy--okay he was wonderful in this too, but for me Gong hyojin just warmed my heart so much.) It's not a perfect drama and watching it now might make me cringe a bit, but it was just good dramatic fun. And back then, it was more than I could have asked for. Something about father and daughter scenes....they're too powerful.

My favorite kdrama that set in high school will be School 2015, because it about teens depicts the struggles and dilemmas that modern-day Korean youth face, such as bullying, student suicides, school violence, deteriorating teacher-student relations, private tutoring and other real-life high school issues. And also Lee Jong Suk, Kim Woo Bin, Jang Nara, and Daniel Choi is in this amazzing drama. Ohhh and the ost is awesome, specially Kim Bo Kyung song get me eveytimes.

A lot of dramas with high school setting, but if I have to choose one I'll go with School 2013.
I can't stand bullying so even though I had the files, it took me two years to finally watched it (thanks to Pinocchio).
And I'm not disappointed: good chemistry between the actors, nice and understanding teachers (finally!!), and solid story that is memorable (without makjang or chaebol).

The perks of being in love with korean dramas... you love them all and see the world in a different way! My fovorite k-drama high school set was reaply me 1997 and to the beautiful you!!! The way both drama express the. Frienship and the hardship that. Being in love have maje you feel a connection!!!

My favorite kdrama set in high school would have to be Tree of Heaven. The drama incorporated a nice blend of Korean and Japanese high school culture and the scenery set in the winter was very beautiful.

I will pick Boys over Flowers. Love all the characters and the nice sets.

Angry Mom because Bokdongie was great and the angst and the need to stand up for what you thought portrayed was amazing.

Aww.. US only. *sad face*

Who remembers Sang Do, Let's Go to School?!

My favorite high school drama is Dream High. :)

I would definitely say the insanely addictive Boys over flowers as I marathoned it in 2 days and it's one of the very first dramas that got me hooked to K-dramas and DB!! So much that it's a routine now for me to visit dramabeans once a day:))) besides that I would say Reply 1997 as the second best.

The high school setting is my all time favorite for dramas--the emotional turmoil of self-discovery/establishing your identity while trying to fit in with friends at school. Makes it difficult to select a favorite! The ones that stand out for me in recent years are Dream High, Shut Up Flower Boy Band and Reply 1997, but I will have to go with Boys Over Flowers for its crazy addictiveness and because it brought me to kdramaland.

Fun to read other peoples' favorites.
