What it’s about
A pair of teachers
whose philosophies are apparently at odds manage Victory High’s
toughest class, facing bullies, academic underacheivers, and
demanding parents.
First impression
This curiously
teacher-centric school drama has yet to develop a strong pull for me.
The first few episodes have done a fine job of setting up story lines
for the rest of the drama—the college entrance-obsessed teacher
versus the one who wants to teach the kids to think, the bully versus
the bad boy with a heart of gold, the badass school chick versus the
world—but none of the characters feel particularly compelling as of
yet, and neither does the show’s overarching plot. Based on what
I’ve heard, though, the secret ingredient has yet to be added to
the mix: Kim Woo Bin’s magnetic troublemaker Heung Soo.
