I used to beat myself up for being average. Then in residency, its the high-ranking students who eventually quit & couldn’t translate the books into the clinics/wards. I’m not generalizing ALL the smart ones, but it’s true: Real Life isn’t graded.
same here! was average in school and went for science degree in higher education and i struggled less than those who were always top tier, i think it’s cause you are used to working hard and determined to do as best as you can to succeed that failure doesn’t scare you as much , you just keep on bouldering through 🙂 atleast that’s how it was for me
Interesting characters off the bat. Struggling high tiers AND low tiered students. Looks promising.. lets see how the next few episodes go. 😀 #school2017
Not really, Koreans were also commenting that if real teacher talked the way he did in drama he would already be suspended for sexual harassment.
They also said that writer probably never went to school if that’s how she depicts it
exactly! i mean, i could get there would be *some* form of discrimination in a school but really? library use? cafeteria feeding? if at all, i would give the poorly performing students more time to use the library because they actually need it more. O_o why would i even be motivated to study if i get less food too. o_O the brain needs glucose!
too early to tell. i think the groundwork for the characters is still being laid out. satisfying enough for a first ep. i generally wait until 3-4 episodes before i give a drop, follow or save for a marathon decision.
The character map shows a love triangle for Eunho’s friend Sarang, but the relationship between the three leads is still a mystery (Daehwi has a girlfriend already, but you get the feeling they aren’t very close because he closes off himself).

Hold up. Are there really schools in Korea like that? Cafeteria and Library use based on grades? O_O #School2017

Yep, interesting characters and it’s much lighter than School 2013, which I like. Will see how the story is going to unfold in the next few eps.

The main complaint among knetz about the premiere is how unrealistic the school setup is, so prolly not.
