Extracurricular

Where do I begin...? Towards the end of the season I was literally YELLING at the screen! I had to pause this show so many times because I was just worried about what was going to happen next.

If you like shows with twists and turns around every corner, THIS IS YOUR SHOW! Ignore the haters.

Extracurricular hocked me up from starting to end. As it has only 10 episodes, I coundn't resist,and I binge it within a day. It's quite different from other school dramas,there were no romantic scenes,silly things to drag it. It was really intense and is on the point whole time. Maybe, ending could have better if it showed how they ended up. I'm not a romantic drama fan but still I want them to be together. Their (Shy guy and strong girl) chemistry is something that I can watch whole day and their way of tackling problems is also fun to watch.

After watching this while googling I find out about the school bullying issue of the main male cast. I'm just sad to learn that. Hope,he gets more drama,he is just too good.

I am a guy 29ys old but I've watched a lot of American series till I get tired of it...since the silly end of game of thrones..but I really want to change faces and language of English and see something different , what I found is that Korean series and these las two years they have a lot of great series , and this one was top and great in everything's I don't know what last time I did care about character but this show I really screamed ,cried,laughed in any charactes and decision he make . This is just amazing Netflix renewed for many garbage series but still waiting news from this and (Alice in borderland / sweet home)

Thank u Korean team for this epic journey.

My next watch is : Flowers of evil Stranger Uncanny counters

...then episode 10 happens, and the typical blemish of Korean writers not knowing how to close out a story happens.

I would have given this show a NINE if it had ended after 9 episodes. Good premise. Gritty and engaging. Flawed a bit in typical K-show fashion that when the going gets tough, stakes are on the line, or lives are at stake, the main characters decide to.... you guessed it.... go it ALONE and stop communicating with each other. This is used time and again in these shows. But other than that, the first 9 episodes generally flowed pretty well. With the exception of folks not putting 2 and 2 together to get to 4. A bit too much obliviousness for believability, but it is what it is.

Which is EXACTLY the problem with episode 10. Everyone suddenly becomes completely aware and has crystal clear vision of things going on around them. And the writers put in about a dozen set pieces of reveals and confrontations, which could have been spaced out throughout the show (and solved one of the biggest gripes I had above).

It's like they needed to Black & White wrap things up, when they failed to realize that a more nuanced and vague ending would have served the running theme of the show much better and wouldn't be such a jarring change of direction in the minds of the viewers.

Very unfortunate, because I was looking forward to giving my first 8+ star review in quite some time. Alas, but because of lazy writers not pacing the show right for a big reveal ending, it was not meant to be.

I'm reading a lot of comments complaining about the lack of character development, but in my opinion it was a good protrayal of how high school kids act. They where reckless, stubborn and immature. It was really stressful to watch their reaction (or lack of) in certain scenes. Nevertheless, what turned me off was both the main characters. The boy seemed to be some kind of mastermind but ended up being quite clumsy and dumb. As for the girl, she was really smart but her abusive behaviour and stubbornness gave me anxiety, I just wanted to stop her all the time... All in all, good story, but was expecting more.
