Quem é Você: Escola 2015 (2015)

This was also another drama that I happened to stumble across on whilst investing my time into KDramas and so I really wanted to watch it. I do not regret watching this drama at all. I do like to invest my time in high school dramas as well because I can relate to them in some way which makes it more of a special drama to watch.

The story was captivating. I found myself anticipating in fear of what is going to happen next and it for sure was a gripping story. The story was well planned out and was quite strategic. There was so much mystery between Eun Bi and Eun Byul. However, I did find the ending anticlimactic, I was expecting more from the So Young and Eun Bi case, I think it's because they focussed on the love triangle more than the main point of the drama. In my opinion, I would of preferred something a bit more dramatic than that, but then again am I expecting too much from a high school drama?
The other thing I found a bit strange to process was the fact that Han Yi An ended up liking Eun Bi instead of Eun Byul. He always has liked Eun Byul, like he said, a one-sided love, but since the transition and him finding out Eun Byul was in fact Eun Bi all that time, he started liking his childhood best friend's sister. It did take some time to gather his feelings about the whole situation, but I did find it odd how he swiftly move on from Eun Byul to Eun Bi.
The ending made me frustrated and upset that the writers didn't do much of a good job on the love story for the ending. I loved the chemistry between Tae Kwang and Eun Bi, but don't get me wrong, the Han Yi An and Eun Bi moments were cute too, however, Eun Bi was better meant to be with Tae Kwang and even though it was a one-sided love with Yi An and Eun Byul, they were meant to be in the first place.

I loved the cast. I was in awe of how brilliant Kim So Hyun's acting was, she portrayed the personalities of the twins really well and you can definitely tell the difference with the twins at a glance, for that I applaud her.
Jo Soo Hyang did very well in portraying Kang So Young as the very mean and abusive bully, I literally hate her out of all characters in KDrama history.
Yook Sungjae as Gong Tae Kwang was lovable and made me want to hug him so much. He became so lovable, I also started loving Sungjae himself. I definitely had second lead syndrome and I so badly wanted Eun Bi to look at him for once.
Kim Joon Seok was the most lovable and funny teacher I ever saw in any drama, I loved his relationship towards his students.
And lastly, I wanna mention Cha Song Joo, she was an amazing character as well as a friend and I admire her as a character.

The music was good, loved all of the songs. I do have to say when the emotional scenes came on and the sad music cued, I shed a tear or two (maybe more).

Overall, I loved every aspect of the drama, except for the things I mentioned earlier, but generally, it was good. I cried at the emotional scenes and even when the drama was teaching us valuable lessons, I cried at those moments too. this drama can be relatable to everyone who is within high school age and so this drama is special to me. I love Class 3, everyone got along and they had a special bond towards each other.

I don't think I would rewatch this whole drama again the whole way through, at least not anytime soon. I think I would only rewatch again to relive the cute and adorable moments with Tae Kwang X Eun Bi, but also Yi An X Eun Bi as well

Kim So Hyun

I love Kim So Hyun, it's very rare that I like actresses; in general but when I find one I do, I tend to check out their works and this out of many of her projects, was the one that stuck out to me the most. She is such a talented actress. I cried with her at the beginning of the show and laughed at the end for her happiness. I really liked this drama and even though i've been done with the whole high school teen series trope, this one was a gem. I admit, I skipped a little bit towards the end because I felt like it was getting draggy but, I completed it and i'm glad that I did.

It's the catchy story that will make you watch this drama. However, there is more to this drama than the twin sister story. Sure, it's interesting to see if she will get caught and how she manages to survive in a world that's far from the one she grew up into. But the main interest is the bulling. In this drama, it is handled carefully. showing all the forms that is can take and all its results. And for me, that was the best part of the drama. The love story, actually the love triangle that it develops between the girl, her sister's best friend, and the outcast of her high school, is really good, but it fails to be completed, as the final episode leaves you a little confused. Also, the production didn't handle well the presense of the two girl simultaneously in the same place. But, other than that, it's a good drama, with quick pace and interesting theme.

The lying game is an american book series and a tv series which I watched a few years back, and I couldn't help but notice the similarity between the lying game and who are you: school 2015. The basic story is so much alike, the difference lies in the culture in which the series airs. While the american culture is more provocative, the korean one is very shy and stayed loyal to the rules that usually applied in the korean series, such as no kisses in high school series.
Even though its prohibit, you can feel the tension build in every episode and its very hard to stop watching.
The chemistry between the main characters is good and its a very hard to guess who she will choose, unfortunately since the two series are very much alike I already knew what will happen in the general story.
OST - I really like the theme song and it will defiantly goes into my playlist.

I have known this drama before I had watched it. I have my hopes up for this drama and to be honest, it doesn't satisfy me that much. Some parts and scenes disappoints me. Like for the bullying, I think it would be better if the 3 bullies got punished and not just Kang so-young. And I agree, Eun-bi have a better chemistry to taekwang than Yi An.

The fight between eun-bi and so-young too is too lacking(?). Like i didn't see much about their drama that's why i think eun-bi didn't get the justice that she deserves. For me the drama is too focused on the love life of the characters.

I'll give this a 6/10. I didn't like it that much. This is a lesson for me that not all overrated/known dramas are great and a 10/10.

This drama was pretty disappointing overall. I kept putting off watching this drama until one day I just decided to watch it, mainly for Nam Joo Hyuk after watching him in Moon Lovers and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Book Joo and falling in love with him and his acting.

I was looking forward to this drama because the cast looked pretty good with Kim Soo Hyun and Sung Jae, but this drama really didn't do as well as it could have. Some parts of the drama where fairly good except rather confusing at times especially with the mysteries surrounding the storyline.

The characters were not developed which was disappointing. I don't think I ever saw Lee Eun Bi grow as a character or student at all, and at times her character can be very depressing to watch because she does not show much emotion. Han Yi An did grow as a swimmer, but didn't see much of him overall in the drama so can't tell if he grew as a person. And Kim So Young was such a pain in the butt to watch because just when you think the whole fiasco with her and Lee Eun Bi is over, she comes back and ruins everything again and again.

Surprisingly, this drama had so pretty good music, but really only one song tbh. "Reset" was the only song that I thoroughly enjoyed and whenever that song came up in a scene it automatically made that scene more enjoyable and emotional.

This drama has a love triangle which I was really looking forward to because I love dramas with love triangles but this drama was lacking in really showing it. There wasn't much interaction between Gong Tae Kwang, Han Yi An, and Lee Eun Bi especially in the beginning but increased in the last couple episodes but was still lacking and inconclusive. This drama has one of the best love triangles- but only because both lovelines were underdeveloped since there was so little interaction/actual romance so you can't really tell who is the main guy she will end up with. I felt like it was mainly just friendly love and support rather than actual love. No scenes had me drawn with love for the OTP or romance.

The ending was definitely unsatisfying. It ended on a happy and light note but the romance was very inconclusive; not sure if they actually ended up together or not, and was more of a 'meh, you're here, how have you been' kind of situation. Overall, pretty disappointing drama as I was looking forward to it but give it a go you might like this school themed drama.

Not gonna lie, but this drama is too good!
Genre yang diambil di drama ini juga menarik. Ada misteri, bullying, trauma, dan lainnya yang bikin ceritanya makin seru. Ya, walaupun banyak banget topik yang ada, tapi nonton drama ini ga bikin bingung sama sekali. Semuanya dikemas dengan baik dan teratur jadi kita yang nonton bisa gampang ngerti. Dari drama ini juga kasih pesan kalau jangan melakukan bullying kepada orang lain karena orang tersebut dapat mengalami trauma. Selain itu, segala kebohongan yang ditutupi pasti juga bakal terungkap.

Not gonna lie, but this drama is too good! The genre taken in this drama is also interesting. There is mystery, bullying, trauma, and others that make the story even more exciting. Even though there are so many topics, watching this drama doesn't make you confused at all. Everything is packaged well and orderly so those of us who watch it can easily understand. This drama also gives a message that don't bully other people because that person can have trauma. Apart from that, all the lies that were covered up will definitely be revealed.

This was one of the best dramas that I had ever watched! Kudos to all the crew and production especially the actors and actresses. I personally love these kinds of genre because it reflects the reality not only to students but to our parents or even relatives that may have had encountered these situations.

STORY: The story was outstanding! It's perfectly constructed. Smart to begin with a thriller preview and then slow-building it up to present a heart-warming yet bittersweet ending. Although, it might have not reached others expectations but to me, life doesn't just simply goes on what anyone expect.

ACTING: Kim So-hyun is just one of the best young actresses so far. She portrayed the characters well, from emotions to gestures, it's well-done! She will have a great future ahead of her. I also love how Cho Soo-young had made her character so hateful that even the audience hates her lol! But she's one of the most wonderful actresses out there too, same goes for other actors, they all made and did a great job!

MUSIC: I love the OST! It's so catchy and it really connects with the story line (cause some OST does not lol).

REWATCH VALUE: Definitely!

OVERALL: It's a grand masterpiece! Lots of Love and Kudos!

Good slice of life

I really enjoyed this one. It was unlike any other I have seen, but God I’ve never wanted to strangle anyone more in my life than So-yeong!

I was intrigued by the story, but it did take me a while to settle into it as it was so upsetting/distressing to begin with. All of the bullying was so confronting and I felt so sorry for Eun-bi. I just don’t understand bullies and why they do it.

This drama did a good job of covering a lot of aspects of a teenager’s life; from bullying to parent issues, it portrayed a range of different scenarios that teenagers can find themselves in. Obviously it is a show aimed at teenagers so I think it would do a good job of engaging them as they might be able to relate and empathise with what some of the characters go through.

I felt for Tae-gwang when he got rejected - the poor guy.

Up until it was revealed that Eun-byeol was in fact alive, I was so confused because I felt like I missed something. It was interesting to see how Tae-gwang knew which twin was which straight away.

I particularly liked Tae-gwang’s personal growth - besides the rejection, I felt happy for him in the end.

I liked how it ended which Eun-byeol and I-an. In general it wrapped up well.

I obviously really enjoy a slice-of-life drama and this one lived up to my expectations.

Such a great drama

This is one of the first dramas I've watched, when I started watching K-Dramas, I always watched light-hearted romance stuff and this is the first drama I've watched that is really a drama at some points. This was such a good drama that opened my eyes towards K-Drama and started watching more dramas that has rich stories after this. I think the story is great and executed well. The OST too is so good. I love this drama so much and will always be one of the highlights for me, this is on my Top 5 favorite K-Dramas of all time. But at the end I wished she picked Gong Tae Kwang cause my boy is rich and loves you like why did she picked Nam Joo Hyuk when he is poor lol, unpractical, he's just amazed by Nam Joo Hyuk's body that's why she picked him lmao, anyways, the acting was good, the story was so good, the actors did the characters justice and fits them well, it's such a great drama that I recommend everyone should watch.

The highlights of the drama for me is the Reset OST, that song is so good and I will forever remember it in my heart and my ears lol, also the savage scene of bullying the bully was so good oh my god, I still remember that scene to this day, I got chills whenever I saw a clip of it on social medias. I love this drama.

More than meets the eye!

When you watch a show where an actor essays a double role you are more critical because you want to see how well they pull off each character without confusing the audience.

Kim So Hyun, at 16 no less, nails both Eun Bi and Eun Byul with such finesse that I was left amazed through and through. This story highlights how tough school is for kids in SK, parental expectations and peer pressure, not to mention harsh bullying. It’s a tough competitive world and the reality of the stress and pressure students must feel everyday is depicted really well. There’s also a whole lot of mystery, that keeps you wanting more and more. Nicely done in my opinion.

Now what wasn’t well done was the love triangle. There were two girls for two guys, so why couldn’t each have a happy ending??? I‘ll never understand it, and I’ll never forgive them for not giving Gong Tae-Kwang a better ending.

One of the best high-school dramas. Would've given it a perfect score if the ending was according to what majority of the viewers eagerly awaited for. Just don't think about whether to watch it or not and give it a go. You'll love it!
What I liked:
The cast specially Kim So Hyun was fantabulous. Her dual role in this drama is top notch and you can feel the difference between the two characters instantly.
The story line was also good and focused mainly on father-son,mother-daughter,teacher-student and friends which made it a lot more appealing apart from the romance.
What I disliked:
The only thing I disliked was the ending. Like c'mon,it wouldn't have been so hard for the writers to come up with the ending the viewers craved for. I was heart-broken with the ending.
Caution: The second-lead syndrome in this drama is for real!
