School 2017: Beneath the clumsy technicalities lay a heart of gold that wrapped me up in all its charms and made me love it, warts and all.

We may not have gotten Kyungwoo x Sarang, or Kyungwoo and Hyunil’s story, but in turn we were offered unexpected new friendships and estranged friends who find their way back to each other, a seemingly childish prankster figure that bound together a group of different personalities, the undulations of parent-child relationships, and comical but kind teachers who happen to have the right words just when you need it the most.

Goodbye show, thank you for giving me all that I wanted from a drama, and then some more 💜

    Beautifully written, @purpleteapot. It’s not a perfect show by all means. The writing definitely left a lot to be desired. But it has lots of heart and it explored all kind of different relationships which I really love. Cheers to more relatable and nostalgic coming-of-age stories like School 2017.

      I really loved the return to friendships and Taewoon’s relationship with his father in the finale :’)

      And also to my relief I fell back in love with our lemonade couple. Ep14 overdid their scenes and it became a bit cheesy for me, but Ep15 and 16 brought it back to the solid support system that their relationship was built on in the first place, and reminded me why I liked them so much.

      He’s also good at giving bad advice that the advised somehow always take up.
