This drama isn't your typical school drama. Every school drama shares the same thing: focus on the leads and the second leads only, the supporting cast is irrelevant. Extra-ordinary You changed the basic ways school dramas are shown. Usually, with school dramas, the main classroom doesn't have that open friendly element. Everyone is so serious but the viewers don't get to know every single person in the classroom. Only the most important roles. What this drama did was take the viewers out of the main lead land and allow the supporting characters to contribute to the show. These characters made the show enjoyable and fun. They are always supporting each other and in the end, they all had a happy ending. School dramas are supposed to be fun and this drama took advantage of that and made it exciting. The one thing school dramas fail to do is keep that light-hearted element school dramas are meant to have. This series really created a new expectation for school dramas. School is always seen as stressful and serious. The viewers rarely get to see the fun side of it mainly because drama is the biggest part of the school. There aren't many comedic school dramas. Nowadays, there has been a decrease in school dramas. Future school dramas should take this show as an example of how to make school look fun. This drama is very very funny. They even made the last episode still have humor. Despite the sad/reliving conclusion, the drama ended on a good note that makes us viewers crave for more.

Now for the plot. This plot was very different. Something out of the ordinary. What caught most of us was how the lead Dan oh realized she's in a comic. Of course, we all expected her to be the main but twist was that her role is only there to help the main leads get together. We don't often get to see from the perspective of supporting characters. Through her perspective, we got to see more lively parts of a student's life and the harsh reality of knowing that your life could end at any minute. The lead Dan oh really sold this show with her phenomenal acting. Seeing the drastic contrast with her scenes in the stage and shadow is so intriguing to watch. Things got more interesting when more characters started becoming self-aware. It was at this point the show started to lost its charm but it still kept going strong and gave the viewers many memorable scenes. The second lead syndrome is strong in this one. Sometimes it was hard to decide who should get the girl. Both male leads are so brilliant and in some type of way, they both got the girl in the end. But did they really? In the stage yes, but in the shadow, no. The actors really made this show fun to watch. It was a real rollercoaster. The great thing about this drama is when they do the unexpected. This ending was part expected part unexpected. It depends on how you look at it.

The costuming is brilliant. They don't keep basic uniform attire, they modify it to match each character's personality. The cinematography is very great. The soundtrack is gorgeous. It has that school drama type sound to it. More upbeat and livid. The acting: phenomenal. I'm glad there was a bunch of rookie actors/actresses' that took part in this. It shows you that you don't need a big famous celeb to make your show special. Overall, this show is a 8.5 for me. This show deserved another season but you know Korea, they haven't even given us a moon lovers sequel yet. At least the show ended on a good note. If only we knew who the writer was...
