Hakgyo 2017

I watched the first episode and didn't think much of it as i left school quite a bit ago and felt a bit past this. Two months later i watched episode 2, and i'm so glad i did! Admittedly Korean schools are different to Australian schools, but fundamentally the friendships and the crazy parents/staff are exactly the same, and the kids fight the system just as hard. It took me back to high school and i loved the friendships, the fights, the plotting, the storyline and really ended up enjoying the series. Watch it, don't give up like i nearly did! The eye candy, horrible, rebellious and the kids that 'aren't quite there' make it great too because that is in every school too, wherever in the world you are.

School 2017 is a drama that perfectly captures the struggles and joys of being a teenager. Set in a high school, it follows the lives of a group of students as they deal with pressure, relationships, and discovering who they truly are. The main focus is on Ra Eun-ho, a bright, independent girl who dreams of becoming a webtoon artist, and her journey through high school with friends, teachers, and love interests. There's a lot of heart, humor, and some real-life challenges woven into the story, making it so relatable to anyone who's ever been through school.

What makes School 2017 stand out is how it mixes the lighthearted moments of teenage life with the deeper, more serious topics. The show isn't just about high school romance or friendships; it dives into issues like societal pressure, family expectations, and the struggles of figuring out who you want to be. It's refreshing to watch a show that doesn't shy away from showing how messy life can be during those formative years.

The chemistry between the leads, played by Kim Se-jeong and Jang Dong-yoon, is so natural and sweet. Their relationship grows in such a way that it feels both organic and real. Plus, the whole supporting cast adds a lot of depth to the story, bringing in different perspectives that make the show feel like a genuine portrayal of high school life.

If you're looking for a drama that's fun, relatable, and full of heart, School 2017 is a great pick. It's a wonderful mix of teen drama, comedy, and emotional growth, and it'll have you hooked from start to finish.

I really enjoyed this show. The characters were engaging and played their parts great! Loved the scenery we got to see. The mystery was entertaining and lots of episodes were surprising on things that happened. It'll keep you entertained and you'll find yourself enjoying this pretty great show.

I liked it a lot because it brought out a very important aspect of our present time and very well. Now there is corruption in many schools that middle class families have to fall prey to. The family has to struggle a lot to educate the children of these families in a good educational institution, but even then the educational institutions only give all kinds of facilities to the elite students and threaten to kick the rest out of the school so that they accept all the wrongdoings of the school committee without any protest. I think this series has highlighted these issues through a very beautiful story. Also, many good aspects of friendship are also revealed here.

As the heading suggests it is childish and the acting is not great. The actors might have been capable of doing better acting but i cant say anything for sure since the script and plot was trash. It was not a very well planned out drama and was super rushed. I cringed a few timed but it wasn't thAt cringy overall.
