31. School 2013 학교 2013 (2012-2013) Korean

Choi Daniel, Jang Na Ra, Lee Jong Suk, Kim Woo Bin

Drama Rating: 8/10      Neck Score: A

Ok, this one made me fall in love with a lot of people.  Choi Daniel is one of them.  I loved his character in this one- well his drawling mannerisms.  I also loved the bromance between Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin.  So good.  What I liked most about this drama was that it wasn't just a cheesy high school flick, but it was an honest statement on the trials of school life.  Every child was important and had a little plot.  Jung Na Ra being the teacher who cared and tried hard, while Choi Daniel being the teacher who was jaded and had to learn to care again.  There is some hinted romance between those two, but they stopped focusing on that pretty quickly.  It was just a real drama with real problems and not having a sugar coated ending.  It was like real people trying their best.  My personal favorite was Kwak Jung Wook's bad boy character Oh Jung Ho.  That guy is a good actor (compare to Shut Up Flower Boy Band) and even the typical bad boy was shown in a sympathetic light.
