If I´m honest, the main kids and the sense of humor is the only good thing about School 2017. The grown-ups and teachers are so greatly exaggerated. I cannot believe every single grown up except class teacher is so corrupt and allowed to discriminate like this. There are some ethics after all. I feel like they are doing injustice to teachers with this series. It will discredit the image with exaggerations. It gets the basic character of a teacher wrong, they are people whose goal is to better the society and help students become full persons. But that´s not what I am seeing? I am on ep 5 for now. So even though I am flabbergasted, it feels overblown. Will it get better? Cause in other case I am dropping it.

    The teachers do get a little better yes. They start being a bit more proactive.
    But the realism of the canon school system is a bit unrealistic overall tbh…

    The real side of the teachers are revealed later. Only one remains a coward and the principal is basically a joke(he is intended to be one!). This show does parody some of the issues of the Korean education system, exaggerating them to make a point. However, I can imagine how reality might not be too far from what we see in the drama.

      I get that, even if it is hard to believe it, but it is kind of a little insulting to those teachers who do work hard to help their students. I believe in reality the corrupt kind is not a vast majority. right? so it can be hard to endure and unfairly discrediting towards good teachers. if you say they end up changing, then good. that would be fair. teaching is a difficult job as it is. I hope kids don´t start to see their teachers through the eyes of first 5 episodes in this drama

    The setup of the school is cartoonish, but the emotional struggles and insecurities of the characters are true.

    Since you like the main characters, stick it out for a couple more episodes? Where the plot leaves some things to be desired (especially in the first 4 episodes or so), there are a lot of character-centred scenes that make up the heart of the show.
