High Class

Korean Drama 'High Class' is a suspenseful drama that keeps things interesting in every episode. However, the main mystery was a let down.

First of all, the drama has good performances. Even the kids in the cast did a good job with their characters. The drama also did a good job keeping things thrilling and having the viewer anticipate what is coming next. However, the main story was, in the end, predictable and pretty much had a lukewarm ending. The family drama was messy and badly handled. The bad rich people of the drama were, in addition, generic and stereotypes of all the bad rich people in the dramas. They didn't even have solid background stories to support their mean attitude. Also, the indication of a romance was unnecessary.

So, overall, six out of ten.

The first episode won't encourage anyone to continue, it started off everything on the wrong foot. It relies heavily on flashbacks which makes the story continuity poor and loose since the writer can stir the mystery in any direction without much consideration on it being coherent or whatsoever. It's too long for such an insignificant piece of mystery. Things didn't get any better once all the mystery was revealed because of poor build up and a joke of an antagonist. I wouldn't label it as a mystery drama anyway, the majority of the drama seems preoccupied with portraying arrogance and high-class lifestyles, leaving only a minimal portion of the actual story and mystery. Even then, we didn't start to get much information until episode 9-10 which is too late. They made the FL's kid narrate most of the last episode like an adult which was weird. Cha Do Young was an utterly useless character, her character was meant to be a comedic relief and a filler but she was nothing but a horny bait. It's probably the weakest drama I've seen from Cho Yeo Jung.

I love these types of dramas that focus on rich families, strong and ambitious women, but most importantly, the mystery and secrets behind the plot are impressive. Too many secrets encompass the composition of this series that will be revealed little by little causing an intrigue that will force you to want to continue with the next chapter. I do not understand the reason for the bad reviews of this drama, its narration is correct and even fast that it does not bore at any time in my opinion, nor can I understand why most people have complained and say that the main character is a dumb lawyer. NO, she is not, her personality is very mature and she tries to take things calmly and responsibly, always thinking of her son before herself. The only thing I hate is that it is on the air I want to continue and continue watching this program. I appreciate that these kinds of dramas are still being made, they are addictive and of course High Class is on that list. RECOMMENDED.
