Review
I found “School 2017” while I was desperate trying to find something acceptable to watch. I don’t know if you have ever found yourselves lost after watching an amazing series, but I have, and I don’t wish that feeling to anybody. When everything else goes wrong, series are my save place, but in moments like that I feel useless: I can’t even find a good series! (And there are millions!)
Anyway, I came across “School 2017” and it was a life-saver. By the second I started watching it I knew it would be a great series. Even just with the poster, just by looking at the cast, I knew it would be fantastic: Sejeong, JungHyun, DongYoon… They were all popular and amazing actors.
Overall, what I liked the most about “School 2017” and the “School” series (I don’t know if that’s even a thing, but I have my own vocabulary) is the way they portray the issues of educational systems in such a realistic, yet funny way. Behind the romance and comedy, they bring to light real problems students face every day. Problems that are usually turned a blind eye on.
Along with “School 2013”, “School 2015”, and “School 2021”, “School 2017” is a series you will most likely enjoy. Full of laughs, anger, sadness and love, this series will become unforgettable. I give you my word (Pinky promise!).
Synopsis
The plot follows a class of high school students attempting to overcome the stress of being ranked by their exam grades, and facing the difficulties of being a teenager in a high-pressure, corrupt system. Its central protagonist is Ra Eun-ho, a cheerful and kind-hearted 18-year-old who dreams of being a webtoon artist but is caught up in the search for a mysterious troublemaker in the school, known as ‘Student X’. When she is accused of being Student X, her dream of going to university to study art is put at risk as she faces expulsion. Hyun Tae-woon is the son of the director of the school who enjoys his youth but hides deep scars.
