I am lost for words. But I think I must do a review for how good this is.

The story is captivating, yet sobering, portrait of young students and the various struggles, challenges, and fleeting joys they go through as they develop in a society that all too frequently ignores and pushes them aside. It was everything, the friendship and bonds that must endure in the face of anything going on around them is told best as a character piece. (Did you realize that when Beom Seok lost his eyeglasses on the videoke bar, until then he doesn't wear it and that is when we see his true character or should I say his story.) That was brilliant!.

A talented cast. Even in the brief time we, the viewer, get to spend with the three actors, they effortlessly establish a great chemistry between them. They actually make you wish we could spend a little more time with them before the series takes its darker turns because of how well they get along. Their performances also have no trouble evoking the appropriate emotions from the difficult material. (Park Ji Hoon as Yeon Shi Eun, he definitely ate that role, what a great actor.)

A must-watch for the reason that has an unflinching storytelling, superb cast performances, and gritty but refined style.

I cried.
