Wow, that was the laziest drama ending I have ever seen.
First, let’s talk about Kang So Young. She wasn’t a better person at the end. She wasn’t a worse person at the end. She didn’t change or develop at all. Also, how coincidental it is that Eun Byul destroyed her phone and erased the video? “I’m so thankful to Eun Byul.” No. Eun Byul didn’t destroy your phone to fix you. It’s all coincidence. You’re not thankful. You’re relieved. You’re de-stressed. But you’re not thankful. And I’m really sad you didn’t try standing up to your dad, or that you didn’t consult with someone about him.
Next, what the heck Eun Byul? Exactly why are you studying abroad? You just came back after your mom and sister thought you were dead. Obviously the time you spent reflecting on yourself didn’t do a damn thing.
Eun Bi, part of your charm is that you were so soft spoken yet determined. In episode 16, I feel like you’ve lost your memories again and that you’re acting as Eun Byul. Your lines weren’t like your character at all. When you told Han Yi Ahn you liked him, it was so upfront and nonchalant. That’s not the Eun Bi we’re used to, at all. I feel like the writers tried to squeeze too much too quickly into this episode.
Saem, I thought you were going to take a break from teaching. You should’ve clarified that you were just taking a break from teaching class 3, not from teaching in general. Also, did anyone ever tell you Eun Bi was playing Eun Byul all this time? I don’t think so.
Eomma, do you make so much money that you can close down shop, move in a week and transfer both of your daughters after recently enrolling one in an academy? I call BS on that one.
“It’s okay, you can be hurt at 18″ or whatever that crap was: is that supposed to be encouraging? Eun Bi, you were literally bullied to the point that you attempted s u i c i d e. But now you’re saying it’s okay to be hurt? No. No. Bullying, depression, etc. don’t care about how old you are. Sure, several people have the attitude that you can move on if you’re young. But the way you said it… Ugh. It’s like you lost all sympathy for others struggling. Like you’re on so happy la-la planet and you’ve never experienced pain before (which we know is not true at all.)
And finally, let’s talk about the male leads. Gong Tae Kwang. You were really cool letting Eun Bi go. Really, really cool. And then for some stupid reason, the writers decided to keep beating you with a stick and make you cry in front of Eun Bi, telling her you lied and that your feelings wouldn’t stop. That was the last we saw of you, until the end of the episode where you were glad to see her back at school.
Han Yi Ahn. Oh, geez. Where do I begin. No one in their right mind would’ve let you swim that competition. No one. You are seriously just a burden to everyone. And what the heck was that grabbing of Eun Bi’s wrist and trying to take her away from Tae Kwang? Rude. (To be fair, Tae Kwang is guilty of this too. But Yi Ahn, it’s the last episode and you’re just further proving that you haven’t changed at all. I don’t blame Tae Kwang from trying to stop you and grabbing her other wrist; you don’t deserve to walk her home.)
Congratulations to the people that wanted Yi Ahn and Eun Bi together. To all of my fellow TaeBi shippers, my heart aches with you. Don’t lie to yourself and say that it was open ended. She told Taekwang she didn’t like him. She told Yi Ahn she liked him. She gave Yi Ahn the gold medal back. She was coupled with Yi Ahn, and the PD’s tried to make it as soft as possible. Why? Because they knew that the TaeBi shippers were the real fuel behind the success of this drama.
In summary, this drama was actually pretty bad. Sure, it probably made lots of money off of us kdrama lovers and had high ratings, but let’s reflect on it some.
-Let’s not ignore the fact that there is an unidentified dead person with “Eun Bi” on their gravestone.
-Eun Bi never went back to the Love House like she promised Ra Jin.
-Soo In was nearly non-existent in the last episode.
-We haven’t seen the ahjumma who runs Love House since Eun Bi’s mom went to visit.
-Forget about Taekwang’s mom actually being important to the story.
-The drama over the jewelry thievery wasn’t important either
-So Young’s threat to release the video was pointless; literally everyone hates her and that wouldn’t have made her image any better. She wouldn’t have released it, because her dad would probably disown her.
-Why did they even cast a father for Yi Ahn; to once again beat up Taekwang and make him envy a healthy father-son relationship? Cheap.
-The “School” series is known for being relatable to high school students. What was relatable about this series?
-Why introduce a 6 month time skip if literally nothing changes? Just have Eun Bi go to Sekang right away. It’s not like So Young’s parents will do anything about it. They disappeared quickly in the last episode.
-I don’t understand the point of Eun Byul asking Tae Kwang if he liked Eun Bi if she was going to tell her to date Yi Ahn. In her conversation with Eun Bi, she could’ve said “You like Tae Kwang” and it would’ve just as easily swayed the love triangle in that direction Once again, the writers milked the love triangle for everything they possibly could, and lazily paired her off with Yi Ahn. I’m not even that mad about it being Yi Ahn; I’m mad that it was done so poorly.
I’m sure I could rant more, but I’ll just leave these thoughts here. School 2015 will be remembered as the most underdeveloped kdrama of the summer.
