Graduation

I know what screenwrites wanted to make nice, light tendible drama.

Unfortunatelly the miscasted main male lead ruined everything.

Don't get m wrong, the dude just doesn't fit the drama. You simply can't believe that he - wooden, out of touch, annoying bodybuilder can learn and teach anything, to be good couple with main lead female, who has emotions, softness, tendible, tiresome and was perfect for the role.

Whole 7 episodes I watched I was sorry for the show and was sorry for the female lead that they were given such unsuitable male lead.

Also it was quite hard to see her spending so much time with new teacher, helping him knowing that all teachers competes between themselves. And if you add that bodybuilder rude no manner wooden dude. You just can't believe it. And feel sorry every minute they are on screen.

Such a pity...

I enjoy this drama a lot!!! Can't wait to see new episodes!!!!

A quality drama, don't give up and watch until the end to understand its quality.

Casting is also perfect, there is no doubt, Wi Ha Joon is perfect in the role he plays (I love his acting in both Little Women and The Worst of Evil) the casting and acting of everyone is perfect as if they were chosen with tweezers.. there were moments that made me seethe with rage and there were also those that made me cry with rage.

The drama is a sharp indictment and criticism against the education system in Korea, the pursuit of excellence by memorization and not by self-thinking or analyzing situations, at the same time I have a reservation that the drama is apparently boring, there is a lot of talk about grades/tests and the grading system of tests. Sometimes I found myself repeating episodes or dialogue (one must say witty) to understand things, which leads me to think that the drama mainly speaks to viewers from Korea, they can better understand the depth of the drama than a western audience, most of the filming was done almost in the dark (even the room of The principal of the college it's dark not to talk about intimate scenes and a kiss lol) which made it difficult to watch. There are a lot of silences but the silences are so necessary for the plot (really wonderful acting) I've already seen series that deal with the strict education in South Korea and the attitude of the parents to their children and teachers regarding achievements, but it was on the edge (from what I saw), this drama gave me a different perspective ... Of course, it has many important and universal topics related to education and interpersonal communication, (relationships between students/teachers/and parents and interpersonal relationships on a romantic background and pure and supportive love) The soundtrack of the drama is great and pleasant throughout the drama I rated the drama 9/10 for me it was another introduction to culture and it takes time to get used to its pace and plot... And it may be true that she is not suitable for everyone, this is my personal opinion and I would recommend giving her a chance♥

The first half of this drama was interesting and entertaining enough to keep me watching. The chemistry between the leads worked well, even if it wasn't spectacular, and the story had potential to be something memorable.

But after episode 8, everything started to fall apart. The plot became unnecessarily dragged out, repetitive, and lost all sense of direction. It felt like the writers were adding filler moments just to stretch it to 16 episodes, and instead of deepening the story, they completely diluted it. By the time it reached the finale, all the charm from the earlier episodes was gone, and it felt like a chore to finish.

This drama could have been so much better with a tighter script and fewer episodes. What started off as a promising and simple romance turned into something unnecessarily long and frustrating. A shorter, more focused series would have done wonders for the pacing and overall impact.

Korean Drama '' The Midnight Romance in Hagwon '' is a school romantic melodrama.

The drama is slow paced and feels relaxing and comforting. The cinematography is soothing and the camerawork makes the viewing experience feel like the audience is peeking into the characters' lives.

The start of the drama, moreover, was nice, with the story taking its time to settle in.

However, after a while, nothing really happened. The romance was enjoyable, yes, but wasn't enough to save things, and the school drama wasn't intense enough to peek things up.

On the other hand, the performances were enjoyable by every actor and actress of the cast.

So, overall, three out of ten.
