The Disappointing Factor
Despite being an interesting show, the drama is not new enough to excite the audience. The story gets confusing and difficult to relate to once it goes into the intricacies of the students involved in the life of the protagonists in more detail. The display of the scene when they join and apply for various schools is shown, with less accuracy. Some parts of the story are over-dramatic and overhyped. Some characters are too controversial. The synergy and companionship between Okuno, Torii and Segawa and the other characters would’ve been the main highlight, but it fell short for it.

Star Power
They have showcased real emotions on the stage, which speaks to the audience the most. The audience has perceived this drama as unconventional and different from the rest. The considerable time gap taken between each episode says of improvement in graphics, storyline and aesthetics with every episode.

It takes instead a lonely way of showcasing the struggle to find something meaningful and innovative to incorporate.
