    Good enough first part and I believe it will be way better on the second, lets see

    This was worse than I expected but still good?

    I guess because I am used to the quality of this kind of kdramas lately, ie: all of us are dead, kingdom, sweet home, my name... I was excited when I read the description if this one and was very much looking forward to it.

    The beginning was too slow and kept focusing on the students relationships and lives pre invasion, which it dragged way too much and made me as a viewer literally hate the whiny kids who are just crying and complaining about how unfair the training is without actually getting a grip of the global situation. If they were younger It may have made more sense, but we are talking about 18/19 years olds....

    Once you get past that and the action starts and the students get a grip of the situation, it becomes better. I believe this is part one if the show so I believe it will be much better now that the pace has picked up.

    Effects aren't the greatest but you won't notice at all, and i love the fact that the girls are also capable strong and independent.

    I will rate at 7 but I might change it depending the second part of the season.

    Part 1 = 9 stars , part 2 = not even 1 star, trash!

    I was absolutely thrilled when I first got my hands on part one of the Duty After School series. The series had everything I could ever ask for - army, guns, monsters, and aliens! It was the perfect combination of action and suspense that left me on the edge of my seat throughout. It gave me such "All of Us Are Dead" vibes .

    I was eagerly waiting for part two, but boy, was I in for a rude awakening. The storyline was atrocious, the bad direction was all over the place, and that ending! It was the worst ending I've seen in a century! I honestly think that even the creators didn't know what they were doing with part two.

    It was a complete and utter disappointment, a pile of trash that left me wondering why they even bothered making it. Part one was a masterpiece that deserved every bit of its 9-star rating, but part two barely deserves a single star. I wouldn't even watch it again if someone held a gun to my head and forced me to.

    I don't know what the creators were thinking. They had a goldmine with part one, but they completely dropped the ball with part two.

    If you are reading my review then let me do a favour for you "DO NOT WATCH PART TWO".

    I wasted my valuable time watching part two, I am still asking my self why the hell did I waited a month for this trash?

    good drama man

    I saw many people said about the HS teenager is dumb. Bad character,so many stupid scene about them doing stuff like complaining, etc.

    So, I'mma ask y'all: (with the consideration CSAT is an important exam in South Korea because it allows you to get into top uni in Korea and change your life for those who didn't have much money) "What would you probably do if these thing were to happen and you're just a teenager who wanna take your important exam, have a good grade, get to good university and turn your life around?"

    would y'all really pickup your weapon and fight the unknown creature which can instantly kill you? Would you REALLY PICKUP YOUR WEAPON?

    Would you really not whine?would you really not wanna quit and just go home?

    It's true that their character development seems sucks, because even if they went through all that stuff, they are still a TEENAGER who haven't grow up yet and keep in mind that the event itself only take place for a few months. In the end, even though they had went through all that stuff, their personality wouldn't really change that much because ONCE AGAIN THEY ARE A TEENAGE. THEY WOULDN'T SUDDENLY become brave and just accepted what had or would happen iN just A COUPLE OF MONTH. So Chill out, they ain't no special force or a soldier, they are a bunch of high school teenager.

    Sure, their personality and character sucks, and the ending isn't what we want. I mean what do you expect from a high school teensger? Save the world? Kill all the sphere?rescue all people?. Let's be real, maybe you had watched too much Disney film or such that you think it's normal for a high school teenager to have save the world and have a great personality. At the very least, this show told us that handing weapon to a bunch of teenager is a bad idea.

    Very poor character development

    It starts with a slow pace. Then when everything seems getting better, the flaws come up more and more.

    The weakest point of this series is character development. They are so stupid with their decisions. Sometimes it also mix with poor acting. I hate almost all of the character.

    The 'bad' guy turns into 'kinda' good with no reason. The 'princess' or the 'selfish' do not take any consequences for what they've done. The 'good' guy feels sympathy for...everyone, even the 'bad' guy who made a horrible mistake. A lot of them are just being so annoying.

    The cgi is alright for a series.

    Tbh, I'm just trying to finish what I started. Just hate quitting. I don't recommend this series to anyone.

    Confusing

    The first part was a fabulous building up story it wasn't new but refreshing and wel written the actor fab.... But the 2 part did they switch writers? Did someone told them their budget was cut what happend? The story is so not logical like the jammed 4 seasons in to 4 parts? The prison scene? The other highschool kids? Moving in to Seoul? Looked like they where short of money and somebody cancelled the show!! What a shame I would have accepted the end but not like this noway... Worst written show after a fabulous first season. The director must have been high on something during the shooting of the serie every blind person could have noticed it was a crap second season really crappy.
