All of the actors did a good job. That little Kim So Hyun who just turned 16 is no joke. I could tell the difference between the twins Eun Bi and Eun Byul at a glance. She is a talented actress and I hope she doesn't lose that appeal as she grows up. The other actors are good too. I like Yook Sung Jae in Plus Nine Boys and he was cute in this also. I have to say though that some of these people are too old to play high school students and they look it.
The music is good.
I won't rewatch it, but it is rewatchable.
I recommend this for a younger viewer and it is enjoyable for all ages.

The last two episodes have a lot of "fillers" cause the drama initially was meant to have 16 episodes but due to the large success it became a 18 episodes serie.
The actors are really good, especially Lee Jong Suk and Kim Kwang Gyu (he always made me laugh!).
I loved instrumental music (my favourite tracks of the ost are Return and Verdict) but i dislike the opening song, it is annoying.

Story:
I like stories like this, because there is Mystery, friendship and (not too much) romance. I liked the plot when the drama was announced the first time. Two Sisters who grow up with two different lifes and a situation which changed both of them. Yes, I liked it very much.
Acting/Cast:
Honestly, I didn't know most of the Actors and Actresses before I began this Drama, but the three main Actors (Kim Sohyun, Nam Joohyuk, Yook Sungjae) I have known before. I liked Kim Sohyuns acting very much. She played the twins very well. I think it is difficult to play two different characters, but she surely did a great job. Nam Joohyuk plays the role of Go Eunbyuls (KSH) chindhood friend Han Yi an, who is a talented swimmer at his school. I think the rols suits him more than his role in 'Surplus Mermaid' last year. Yook Sungjae plays the other male Leadrole. I liked is acting, although I was sceptical before. I know him as the Maknae and a Vocal from BroB, so I wasn't sure if his acting yould impress me. But I was surprised. He did a very good work.
Music:
The Music is nice. I love the Song "Reset" and I like the OST from Wendy (Red Velvet), too.
I would watch this drama after a few months again^^.

starting off i would like to say this drama made me cry.
it sucked me in like a vortex before I knew it i speant atleast 22 hours watching this show.
the story basically is completely skipable until beeyachat gets older. lol.
it starts off where beeyachat a child at the time reading cinderella wondering if prince charming existed.
then they show us Monthai dressed in all white excited, because hes going to study in Austrailia.
he has a bitchy girlfriend wiyada. (whose ugly as faq)
due to some shit going down.
skipable shit. episodes 1-5
bee grows up being abused by wiyada.
During those years she writes to Monthai as Wiyada and sends him stuff which makes Mon feel obligated to love wee and only wee.(wow i wish guys were like that, id have married ken by now lol)
wee cheats on monthai and bee continues writing to him. taptim, mon's mom gets sick and asks for wee but wee being self centered heartless beach. sends bee.
bee is asked by aunt to pretend to be wee so that taptim gets better which she does. she finds out that wee isnt wee buts actually bee and is cool with it then enters monthai. i guess living in Austrailia made him crazy as shit.
because not only does he accuse bee of everything i am fairly supprised they did not do a sequence in where it rained and then he blamed bee for it raining and accused her of seducing the rain to rain. *DRAMATIC EYEROLL*
Pong plays his part well as P'Mon i coulnd help but secretly wish that Bee left for a bit leaving him alone would have served him right. and then he would have realised her importance.
The kid who plays Bee in the beggining was really good. though it was kind of gross the visible age difference.
Wee's sister i forget chicks name had the most beautiful eyes :)
Peung in this show was amazing she was beautiful she looked alot like an indian actress who plays humera in qabool hain on zee tv.
when she spoke of her self in the third person it was adorable.
i kinda wished they did a little more then a few innocent kisses.
though the ending felt silly.
Bee silly need to cover up all Wee's mistakes prolonged a story that could have finished like in 12 episodes.
lol.
scenes that began to get repetitive was all Mon's accusations.
kedchai was amazing though they had a plott flaw for a guy who comsidered himself as the consort of evil. he was good. wee's sudden long locks couldnt make her face any prettier. i have to say she acted well because i really dispised her, i spent atlease 10 minutes dissing her to my boyfriend who calmly pointed out perhaps i needed a break lol.
Also i did not understand how Mon sent Wee a digitilised pic of himself considering the fact that they were in the past.
the sweater she sent him was also not the same colour as the wool she picked up in the shop.
Tuptim looks so familiar.
Lakhanna was really pretty at first i thought she was going to be then NangEk.

There were some good things though. Like:
* Jung Kyung Ho. But if you're a fan, you probably know he's a hell of an actor, so he could sit there with a paper bag over his head and I would still watch it. His character development as Min Ho is a delight to watch, I had so much fun watching that and there were a lot of funny moments.
* Side characters. His secretary Woo Shik was hilarious, he had me rolling on the floor every time he was on screen. And he has such great chemistry with JKH, their scenes were non stop laughing for me.
Those two are the things I liked most about this drama. I didn't like:
* The main plot: It was SO boring for me. But I usually find business plots in dramas boring, so maybe if you like that kind of thing, it will be enjoyable for you. I was just falling asleep since I didn't get most of it. And don't get me started on that murder subplot....
* Kim So Yeon. Not that she was bad per se. And let me tell you, I am KSY's number one fan. I am crazy about her and I've liked her in everything I've seen her. My problem here is Sun Jeong. I don't know what it is but I feel like they could've done more with her character. I kept waiting for her to do something: I know her thing was being all strong and taking whatever came her way but I just wanted her to stand up and say stop for once. But well, I guess it's just that I don't like that kind of characters. There were cute moments between her and Min Ho but everything was kept too formal for my taste I just wanted her to be a bit crazier.
* Lee Jun Hee. His storyline made NO sense. ABSOLUTELY NONE. What a way to waste Yoon Hyun Min's talent. They should've just made Min Ho and him BFFs like in Cruel City and go with it. (Kidding, tho I still need another drama with these two)
Anyway, I don't even remember the OST and I finished this two weeks ago so I guess it's not that memorable, not that it's bad either. It's just there.
Overall 7.5 from me. JKH makes this drama.

I will give you two reasons to watch this. Park Yoochun and Shin Se Kyung. They are A.DO.RA.BLE. I really can't imagine anyone better to play these two characters. I know so many people that have changed their opinion about SSK after this drama, so if your only reason for not watching is her, do yourselves a favor and go watch it now :)
Anyway, the story starts out pretty solid as we learn more about our main characters. It's very fast paced in the first half of the drama, which is probably why it starts to get a bit slower towards the second half. It's still enjoyable, but I think the main problem is that the writers revealed too much ahead of time, so that's why there comes a moment when for about four episodes we're just going round in circles with basically the same thing happening.
Still, even if the main story suffered a bit towards the end, the interactions between Moo Gak and Cho Rim and the rest of the gang kept me watching.
Na Gong Min does a great job here I gotta say. And guess one of the best things about this drama? NO ANNOYING SECOND LEADS! *YAY*
Overall, good drama with a solid story that wasn't so solid during its entire run but with the rest being so entertaining that it's possible to overlook it and just focus on the good stuff.

For some reason I could never get into School 2013 but this one was exactly what I would like in a school drama- an attractive cast, adolescent issues, mystery, suspense, thriller, romance and a whole lot of teenage hormones. Also this where this drama probably went wrong as well because of trying to fit in too many genres in one. Here comes a drama that I wish were 20 episodes instead of a mere 16 (I wouldn't even have minded 24). How can this be possible? Well- for all those plots and characters that it had me invested in begged to explore them a bit longer but this one ended too quickly.
This drama had a potential to earn a full 10 but I am here giving it a 9 only. Yes, ONLY. It's a shame when you think about what a masterpiece could have come out of this one. In the end what it ended up being was a fluff, no-brainer school drama.
Yes, it has heart. Lots of heart. Also lacks it in many ways. It will remind you of how life isn't always fair especially not for everyone but will also show you hope at the end of the tunnel. The silver lining of every dark cloud. I really like when a drama takes up issues like bullying, self-discovery and friendship (Jdramas do it so well). Here it takes up a lot and just ends up turning into a fairy tale in the end where good always wins and evil fairies turn into loving people. Well, kind of.
Ironically, I thought it would a heart-wrenching, dark tale but much like its poster but in the end it is just butterflies in the stomach. It has a lot of cuteness in it and the cast will steal your heart away. It has a lot of funny moments and just when you dare the story to pull something big, it goes woooosh. It isn't a bad thing but maybe I expected a bit more.
One thing this drama leaves me with is an excellent OST. The songs have been on my playlist as they kept releasing and I will recommend them to you. The songs are wonderful and even the background scores are amazing.
In the end this drama is another school drama for chicks. It's so very girly. Sadly the over excecution of un-necessities and necessities ends up leaving no room for any rewatch.

In terms of the story, I think the first 3/4 of the plot was solid. Everything involving Eun Byul's disappearance to the mysterious messages from a dead classmate were very well thought out in my opinion. It kept me interested and speculating all the time, thinking of all the possibilities, which was why I really enjoyed this series. If you like playing the guessing game and trying to pick up on all the clues then this'll be an enjoyable series for you because the writers did well at dropping hints and keeping the audiences guessing. But I hate to say it, the resolution of the mystery left little to be desired. I honestly thought that the writers could've done more with it since they put so much effort into building it up only to let it fall flat. The mystery went into the back burner in the last 4 episodes or so, and this is where you start to see what the priorities of the writers are - playing with the love-lines and romance. Not that I don't love a good romance, but the writers kept playing with the audiences expectations - forcing many to come down with that dreaded second-lead syndrome.
This is where the acting comes into play. Yook Sung Jae completely won me over with Tae Kwang so it was no wonder that he won so many people's hearts. He played the troubled but playful character so well that you couldn't hate him. I could totally understood Tae Kwang's actions too, but Han Yi Ahn was just conflicting. Nam Joo Hyuk did well at the beginning but as the series went on, it slowly became apparent that he was lagging behind slightly in the emotional acting department. But I think that he had little to work with considering the way that the character was written. Tae Kwang had more character development than Yi Ahn - thus Joo Hyuk never really got to shine as brightly as Sung Jae.
However, it was Kim So Hyun who really carried the show. Who would've thought that a 16 year old could carry herself so well in two roles? You could seriously tell how well she acted Eun Bi and Eun Byul by the tones and styles of each character, which were distinctly different from one another. Of course, the stylist and makeup artist had a great role in aiding visual distinctions between the two, but Kim So Hyun held the two characters very well on her own.
I also have to mention Jo Soo Hyang who played Kang So Young. She impressed me with her acting. Playing a bully isn't as easy as it looks, but she fell into the role so naturally... not sure if that is a good or bad thing but nonetheless, also praiseworthy. Yet once again, her characterisation was flawed as no one really understood what the hell was going through her mind - hateful for hateful sake, maybe? But that wasn't Soo Hyang's fault.
So all in all, I enjoyed this series, but the writing and the story became flawed in the final stretch. I loved the idea of the mystery and the switching of twins, but I couldn't help but crave more depth. For instance, how was Min Joon's homelife now? Is Shi Jin still struggling under the educational tyranny of her mother? How did Soo Jung's modelling career pan out - we saw snippets that suggests that something happened but no details. Things just felt slightly empty as questions/characters weren't as neatly tied up as I wanted. However, I still think that this is a good watch and it made me look forward to Mondays and Tuesdays!

Aside from the plot being quite well put together, the last episode was extremely good by Kdrama standards (and if you watch a lot of Kdramas you know what I mean about their endings often being a trainwreck). And this also belies the plot being well-thought out.
I also liked the actors. I didn't see great chemistry between the leads but it was enough to find them a cute couple and individually I liked their characters a lot. In particular I liked (and was surprised by) a decision made by the female lead near the end that I really didn't expect, and how that decision bolstered the theme of the entire show. The theme and "lesson" of the show regarding the nature of marriage/romantic relationships. I'm not going to say what the theme was, but suffice it to say it was strung together throughout the whole drama in a nice way and they never deviated from it, which is why the plot feels so cohesive.
All in all, this was never "must watch" for me, but on the other hand, I really appreciate that it did some things right regarding theme and plot that so many dramas fail to do.

Sure, there were some comedic moments, and some heart racing moments, but they were all "meh". It was average, the story is dragging, i despised certain characters, which is a no-no for me if I want to keep being intrigued.
It's also dramatic for the effect of being dramatic, i hated the black and white 'villain' characters.
Gosh, I'm starting to regret watching this. But anyways,
the only thing that was worth it were those very rare moments of tenderness between the main couple. Also, their dynamics and the jealousy of the male lead. There, that was the only thing I somewhat enjoyed. That's the sole reason why I even watch Kdrama. For the sweet sweet feelings of seeing two people slowly fall in love with each other.
PS I skimmed through the last half of the series because it just kept dragging on, my what a bore! I fast forwarded it to the shin and ch scenes only, I didn't care for the rest.
