Celestial Authority Academy (2021)

Worth watching at least once!

This drama is quite interesting but compared to other C dramas, the plot isn’t serious enough and feel sth strange (i’m not sure tho what’s weird). If you need a laugh, I recommend trying this. The main lead’s childishness and his friends are hilarious.

What I like most is the OSTs, especially “Qingtan Lake Spring Trip” which was sung by the main actor, Zhou Yanchen/ Johnson. It’s also the opening song of this drama.

I love to see idol producer boys together here and their acting talents are really great. Johnson’s facial expressions and performance really suit his role. But, I feel he deserves a stronger plot next time, if not, his hidden talents are such a pity.

Comparable to "In a Class of Her Own," but not QUITE as good

The plot of this is VERY similar to the c-drama "In a Class of Her Own," where the story's centered around a girl who dresses up as a guy in order to attend an academy. However, differences that I thought made "In a Class of Her Own" better is that "Celestial Authority Academy" is a little more fast-paced, and as a result, I felt that a lot of the plotpoints as well as relationships weren't as developed. There also seemed to be multiple loopholes to the story, and I felt that the ending was a little open-ended (which I guess isn't always a bad thing, I just felt that the last episode went by too fast; we didn't get enough explanation for a lot of things).

However, I did like the cast for this drama, as well as the chemistry between the main couple. All in all, "Celestial Authority Academy" was enjoyable, though I wouldn't say I would rewatch it.
