School is a kdrama series which mainly focuses on sensitive issues such as the corrupt education system, academy and tutoring culture in South Korea, bullying and common problems of teenagers in love, friendship and family.
Simple plot. If I were to compare it to the previous installments, I must say that the plot of School 2017 does not really stand out; it is simple and predictable - which is not always a bad thing. Sometimes, such light and superficial kdramas are easier and fun to watch if well presented. And School 2017 is one of these kdramas.
Relatable young love. School 2017 might lack story depth but Tae Woon and Eun Ho's young love and cute interactions will surely give you a mini heart attack. I love how the story was presented and how it was developed. It wasn't grand nor fast-paced but it was developed just right, along the way as they shared dreams and stuggles. I think their story is something that most of us can relate to.
Kim Se Jeong's infectious smile. Kim Se Jeong's debut acting performance is not bad at all. I find it over the top at first but I started to love her as the drama progressed. Her smile will just melt your heart and will make you smile as well.
Manly yet cute Tae Woon oppa. I honestly don't want to watch School 2017 at first eventhough I've been waiting for this series because I don't find Kim Jung Hyun interesting but as always, I had a change of heart. He's one of the reason why I watched School 2017.
He portrayed the rebellious and charismatic Hyun Tae Woon effortlessly. The scene where Tae Woon showed his Boy in Luv moves weakened my knees. LOL! Now, I am anticipating for his next kdrama.
