Duty After School

Part 1 is great ig. It has some best moments. The character arcs and the script are well-written. The character flaws were quite unique, relatable and can be reasoned with. Though I might say it sometimes it can be a bit stupid but that's all.

Part 2 is where everything drops. One moment, they are shooting the spheres and then another moment, they are on some effing carousel and ferris wheel. Like that kind of transition where it starts really serious and drops to a very lighthearted tone is just too jarring for me. And also, the acting is very over the top and exaggerated, and that guy with the SAT obsession is really making me grit my teeth. I can see what they are trying to do, but the executions were not done well and very rushed, especially the finale. And it barely gave any closures to any of the characters at all too.

So my advice is that you watch part 1 and then you stop right there, and imagine that in the future, the spheres are all dead and they have matured and lived happily ever after.

Korean Drama " Dute After School Part One " is a sci fi horror story in a school setting.

The story is full of emotional scenes and a few gory ones, with the aliens and their invasion being kept at bay for the last episodes when the action truly kicks in.

The characters, moreover, are kind of annoying, truly teenagers caring for having fun and focusing on their own problems, rather than the current situation, that is until they come face to face with their reality. Which is to say that they were realistic and original.

As for the performances, everyone in the cast, especially the young ones, did a great job with their characters.

So, overall, seven out of ten for the first part.

Korean Drama "Duty After School Part Two" is the continuation and conclusion of the story.

The drama takes up from where the first part left off, even though it feels like the characters had gone through a major character development, as they are left alone to fend for themselves, while having to choose between staying at their protected spot or venturing out to find their families.

The story, moreover, presents a new twist, with the main villain, in the end, and the main danger being the students themselves rather than the aliens that have now taken over.

As for the characters, they really grew up and distinguished themselves, with their relationship offering plenty of emotional scenes, especially considering that they are just young people robed from their chance of living their teenage years.

Finally, the performances were pretty enjoyable.

However, the ending was rushed and didn't offer any information for what happened next.

So, overall, six and a half out of ten for the second part.

I saw many people said about the HS teenager is dumb. Bad character,so many stupid scene about them doing stuff like complaining, etc.

So, I'mma ask y'all: (with the consideration CSAT is an important exam in South Korea because it allows you to get into top uni in Korea and change your life for those who didn't have much money) "What would you probably do if these thing were to happen and you're just a teenager who wanna take your important exam, have a good grade, get to good university and turn your life around?"

would y'all really pickup your weapon and fight the unknown creature which can instantly kill you? Would you REALLY PICKUP YOUR WEAPON?

Would you really not whine?would you really not wanna quit and just go home?

It's true that their character development seems sucks, because even if they went through all that stuff, they are still a TEENAGER who haven't grow up yet and keep in mind that the event itself only take place for a few months. In the end, even though they had went through all that stuff, their personality wouldn't really change that much because ONCE AGAIN THEY ARE A TEENAGE. THEY WOULDN'T SUDDENLY become brave and just accepted what had or would happen iN just A COUPLE OF MONTH. So Chill out, they ain't no special force or a soldier, they are a bunch of high school teenager.

Sure, their personality and character sucks, and the ending isn't what we want. I mean what do you expect from a high school teensger? Save the world? Kill all the sphere?rescue all people?. Let's be real, maybe you had watched too much Disney film or such that you think it's normal for a high school teenager to have save the world and have a great personality. At the very least, this show told us that handing weapon to a bunch of teenager is a bad idea.

This was worse than I expected but still good?

I guess because I am used to the quality of this kind of kdramas lately, ie: all of us are dead, kingdom, sweet home, my name... I was excited when I read the description if this one and was very much looking forward to it.

The beginning was too slow and kept focusing on the students relationships and lives pre invasion, which it dragged way too much and made me as a viewer literally hate the whiny kids who are just crying and complaining about how unfair the training is without actually getting a grip of the global situation. If they were younger It may have made more sense, but we are talking about 18/19 years olds....

Once you get past that and the action starts and the students get a grip of the situation, it becomes better. I believe this is part one if the show so I believe it will be much better now that the pace has picked up.

Effects aren't the greatest but you won't notice at all, and i love the fact that the girls are also capable strong and independent.

I will rate at 7 but I might change it depending the second part of the season.

Why, why, why do Korean science fiction series and stories start and progress so well, but suddenly end in a disaster, so that the first thought which comes to anyone's mind is that the writer has complicated the story so much that he himself did not know how to end it !!! That is why most of them end badly and the viewer regrets the time he spent watching the drama.

This mini-series is no exception to this rule. The drama starts with a new topic and very good acting and progresses well until the end of the first season. However, in the second season, when it is expected that the reason for the creation of the purple objects and how the characters of the story overcome them will be revealed in four episodes, the story suddenly takes a 180-degree turn and, while moving away from the main axis, becomes a meaningless disaster. I do not recommend watching this series to anyone because it has a very disappointing ending and I give it a 6 out of 10.
