Very rarely do I give dramas a perfect score, I usually find something to nitpick even if I really enjoyed it. The Effect drew me in since episode 1. Something about the cast and characters felt so lifelike as there were not unnecessary exaggerations. The series was very short so the pace was quick to get all the story into 3 episodes. I liked the speed as it left no room for unnecessary scenes. This series was not rainbows and sunshine but it did show the importance of words and pressures that young people face.
