The Feel-good part
The series is said to be excellent for its writing and for incorporating suspense in a high school drama. The best part about the drama is how the story unfolds. Also, the music helps sustain the suspense. Every character is suspicious until the end.
The disappointing factor
The female lead can seem like a significant issue of the show. She’s expressionless in the most critical moments. For example: when her brother dies, she lacks the portrayal of grief and shock. Also, the misery surrounding the male lead seems too much sometimes. He’s already suffering from a terminal disease, but his life keeps falling apart even more, which is disturbing and upsetting. Some episodes are more boring than others.
