So refreshing
I was so skeptical about watching another teen drama with mean girls, tiny skirts and rich hunks. It's tiring that there are infinite number of those.However this turned out to be such a pleasant surprise. Candid, cute, refreshing.
Story one and three especially are so refreshing. Feels good to know that there are smart sensible teenagers even in the cruel world of selfish high schoolers.
And of course story two - what a heart throb that kid Rowoon or however he spells his name- is. The FL is also not bad in that story. Very cute first love story.
Clean production, great music, smartly made - very sharp and appealing drama.

Different with a twist of Funny
Okay so honestly i stumbled across by an edit on Youtube which showed the second couple and thought okay this is interesting.Firstly I must say that this is the first Korean drama that I have come across that's really short and literally only 30 minutes long in each episode.
So the first two episode are to do with the high school that has addiction to porn and masturbating's which i am sure every man nightmare at around that age, anyway he likes a girl who thinks that is disgusting, (clearly she has never done it herself or gets wet) and he joins a group that helps stops the habit, things go his way and he makes it through 100 days and gets the girl in the end.
The second couple is for me the best, not only was the ML really good looking and you knew how to carry himself well, but here you got the conservative girl who is a little mad that her bestie and her ex have hooked up and she is bothered by this as this was her first love, first for me my bestie hooking up with an is definitely no friend of mine, and also I did not really like the way the friend always seemed to be wanting to hang with her and sort of throwing in her face that she got the man. Anyway she comes up with a crazy idea to have a fake boyfriend and boy next door is only too happy to help out, I did love the scene of him doing pull up and she gets to peak through the window (lol) this couple was really good and funny compared to the first one.
The other couples well there is not much there to say, there stories are pretty the same I really didn’t like how the plot surrounded the girl’s weight, additionally I couldn’t enjoy the 3rd couple to the fullest.
Overall ‘ Adult Trainee’ was the epitome of a “ binge-watch” drama to watch when you have nothing else to do; not unwatchable and certainly entertaining within its different plots, setups and heartwarming messages , but admittedly lacking in more subtle character growth, plot buildup and diverse as well as more relatable and realistic issues for teens.

c’est frais, c’est léger et ça traite de l’adolescence sous un aspect décomplexé, quoique pas totalement, j’ai bien aimé !petite réserve sur les deux derniers épisodes où la grossophobie est traitée avec humour, sans plus de gravité et où le lead féminin n’a pas le droit à une histoire d’amour (contrairement aux deux histoires précédentes)… le message est cool, elle doit s’accepter et s’aimer avant toute chose, mais c’est dommage de coller cette étiquette uniquement à son personnage.

Bem interessante e fora da caixinha
É um ótimo mini drama, pena que começou com a pior história possível.1. Sei que a pornografia é um tabu muito grande na Coréia do Sul e é um tema importante pra ser abordado e foi bem corajoso de tratarem deste assunto nesse mini drama, mas eu me senti desconfortável durante os dois episódios inteiros, achei tão chato que eu não via a hora de acabar. Foi o mais fraco das três histórias. Foi salvo pela HQ no final que ficou muito boa! Só não desisti, pois uma amiga me disse que o próximo valeria a pena e, realmente, ela tinha razão.
2. Me pergunto por quê o casal não teve um drama inteirinho só pra eles. Eu sou muito fã de dramas colegiais e esses 3 episódios foram INCRÍVEIS do início ao fim, fiquei arrasada pq foi tão curto. A química do casal era quase palpável. Se dependesse só dessa história minha nota seria 10/10 com toda certeza.
3. Fiquei um pouco decepcionada com a ultima história, já que a segunda tinha superado todas as minhas expectativas. Foi uma história morna e fraca, acho que foi mal desenvolvida, mas até que gostei do enredo e da amizade deles.
No fim acho que o desfecho das 3 histórias foram agradáveis e bem fora da caixinha. Se eu fosse assistir hoje pela primeira vez deixaria a segunda história pra ver por último e não deixaria de assistir nenhuma.

Provavelmente irei acabar revendo várias vezes mais pelo meu casal yura e namho do que pelo outros personagens. Vale toda a pena, foram diversos surtos atrás de surtos com cada cena deles. O que faltou na 1° e 3° história tem de sobra nessa, então significa que realmente poderiam ter feito algo mais nas outras. É impressionante como conseguiram fazer um trabalho incrível em só tres episódios, o casal yunam merecia ter um kdrama totalmente e apenas deles.

Super cute and I felt so represented as a teen myself!
The first story about Miyeon and ML was very fresh tbh!You don't really see a lot of talk about masturbation in shows nowadays, especially not in K-dramas!It was a nice suprise (though kinda gross obviously) to see something so underepresented play such a big role in the action. If im being honest, as a teenager going through this awkward and awakening stage in my life where I experience with myself and my sexuality, I very rarely see people talking about this with such ease. Other shows like Sex Education or Heartbreak High are usually very full on in your face, but this was a rather soft approach and it was kinda interesting seeing the mind of a teenage boy, even though it was weird at first. ML was trying to take back control of his life that was ruined by the constant need to be sexually engaging with himself, which again is not something you would see on a show for teens!They very rarely talk about the cons of masturbating as teenagers or masturbating at all tbh. Either way, very funny and genuine Gen Z dialogue, plus FL side story about stuggling with an addiction too was very relatable!Plus Miyeon never disapoints and the couple was cute in the end.The 2nd mini story was by far my favorite. First of all Im a big fan of Ryeoun so seeing him here was a nice suprise!The ML and FL had so much chemistry and dear god how I related to FL's story! Honestly, being seen as conservative and being scared to make a move is so real!And the fake friends were literally the epitome of high school lmao! Once again the dialogue delivered very Gen Z vibes, most from FL. The kisses were so genuine, nothing like I've ever seen in a K-drama lol, Just his body was kinda impossible for a teen, athlete or not haha but bonus ig. Loved everything about this mini story!The FL and ML's gay friend was a nice touch too, didn't feel forced or anything!I kinda wanted to see her gf though.
Now the 3rd story started off well ig, but then...well...eh...ruined the 10/10 score. FL story was real once again, wanting to loose weight because of insecurities and not being able to turn down food :( felt that in my soul. Nevertheless, both the MLs were bland and weird asf. The American wannabe had a weird ass finger fetish and the idol was just a loser. After FL heard what Idol ML said about her I thought she was gonna be smart and call it quits with men but ig noooo she had to be the bigger person "because good people never step lower than their enemies" blah blah blah shit. She's better than me, cus me personally I would have NOT let that slide. Kinda wished she would love herself in the end instead of relying on ppl again, cus I felt that kinda defeated the point of the mini story?
In conclusion, this drama represented teens perfectly in my experience, I would watch again and I would reccomend to any teens out there cus I feel like this might not be the best for adults. It's too silly and ig too "problematic" except for the 2nd couple. But screw those ppl, cus this drama is cute and I wished it was longer.
Miyeon slayed. <3

This is strictly about Eps. 3-5 (GO WATCH NOW!)
I was hesitant to watch this show because A.) I do not normally watch web dramas and B.) I like committing to completing the dramas I watch, I didn't want to skip around. HOWEVER, I just could not resist this drama, it was everywhere on all my social media feeds so eventually I just gave in.I tried watching episodes 1-2 and 6-7, but I could not get into the first story line and I had already spoiled the third story for myself out of excitement and it left me disappointed. Taking all of this into account I decided to just check out the middle episodes to see what all the hype was about and I ended up thoroughly enjoying it.
What was so good about it?
1. Friends to couple done right! The two main leads were soooo cute and likable and their transition into liking each other wasn't awkward or lacking in any way.
2. It was realistic, in that unlike other school based dramas where anything over a rating of PG-13 is never mentioned or acknowledged, here it was embraced. This drama approached these subjects in a hilarious and relatable way that I found charming rather than harsh or unpleasant.
3.I loved that there was no mean second lead female and instead the FL made a new friend that added much more to the story.
4. The FL held conservative views on the physicalities of being in a romantic relationship and stuck to her beliefs until the end. I liked that she didn't change (not that otherwise thinking is wrong), but I like that she was confident enough to follow what she felt and go at her own pace it was a refreshing take.
5. KIM NAM HO, so fine, so charismatic, and in the end so adorable. What he said in the end to the FL's question had me screaming!!! I felt like I had to rewatch everything again to re-analyze their interactions. The amount of times I replayed that single scene, it was endless....
If you need a quick drama fix, just want to kick back and embrace the quirks of hilarious high school love, this is the one for you. Its endearing and warrants more episodes, I am sad that the story was only 3 episodes long and not even its own singular drama. I hope they make a remake with more episodes or something similar. I also expect to see more main lead roles from both Yoon Hwan (Kim Nam Ho) and Jo Yoo Jung (Ban Yu Ra).
The only slightly irritating thing that had a little redemption:
Ban Yu Ra (FL)'s "bestfriend," Kang Da Hyun was so irritatingly 'innocent,' tbh it felt like mostly an act. What kind of friend does that? But also Kang Da Hyun's pushy-ness to double date and have the FL take pics of her kissing her ex-boyfriend. These situations made me want to claw at the screen. I understand that everyone has the right to their happiness and like good for her for finding someone she loves, but it was mostly at the expense of Ban Yu Ra. I was so glad that FL took a break from her supposed BFF at the end, and expressed how uncomfortable she felt. I wish that KDH would have come to FL first and told her everything because her having to find that out on accident was probably more hurtful. KDH would have been a good character and likable if it didn't feel like she was purposefully being naive and aggravatingly irreproachable.

AN OVERLOOKED DRAMA
Its an underrated gem a diamond buried in the rough this drama is exciting and thrilling i did enjoy all episodes a generious amount episodes 3 to 5 is a MASTERPIECE on its own it surely needs to be made into a drama on its own it STOOD OUT the chemistry tension and passion between the two leads on it's own was better than about 90 percent of other well known dramas they took this little budget drama and made it into their own show. I loved their tension just one look at each other and u could practically feek it from the screen while i did quite like the other episodes its obvious the 2nd couple owned the stage i hope another drama with the 2 of them comes outVond je deze recentie nuttig?
Jae Min é viciado em masturbação, mas quando ouve seu interesse amoroso falando como tem repulsa dos meninos que praticam isso, é a motivação necessária para que o convença a parar. Assim, ele entra para um grupo anti-masturbação que tem como meta chegar ao 100° dia sem a prática, e enquanto isso, tenta conquistar a Ye Kyung.
Foi interessante ver a Coreia arriscando num roteiro com tema mais sexual e isso conta demais, porém, esses dois primeiros episódios foram no estilo 'não me importo nem um pouco', ainda mais que achei os personagens sem carisma e não vi o propósito.
Já não posso dizer a mesma coisa do próximo casal. MELDEUS!! Yu Ra é uma menina conservadora que não deixou seu ex-namorado passar além dos beijinhos e por isso o namoro acabou. Agora, ele começa um relacionamento com sua melhor amiga e isso a deixa puta da vida, levando-a a pedir que seu melhor amigo, Nam Ho, finja ser seu namorado. As coisas avançam por meio de muita chantagem, o que é bem engraçadinho de acompanhar, além de vermos como a amizade deles surgiu.
Eu amo plot de amigos que se apaixonam!!! E fui muito bem servida nos episódios 3 a 5, que delícia meldeus! Nam Ho e Yu Ra são fofos além da conta, e ela vai gradualmente se apaixonando por ele enquanto precisam fingir tanto. As mãos dadas, o primeiro beijo, a intenção de fazer algo a mais quando estão sozinhos, enquanto isso tudo vai mexendo com seu ponto de vista conservador da Yu Ra estando dentro de um relacionamento. Há um grande plot twist (reviravolta) que me fez gritar demais. E que sabor!! Tô viciada nesses 3 episódios.
A última história é a da Na Eun, que nunca teve um namorado, é gorda e é sempre maltratada na escola por bullying. Ao receber uma carta anônima, Na Eun começa a desconfiar de possíveis rapazes da turma que poderiam ser seu admirador secreto, e isso a faz se aproximar de Kang Joo, um astro kpop que é da sua turma.
Entre segredos e descobertas, eu gostei muito de como a Na Eun vai ser dismestificando do fato de ser gorda. Apesar de lutar com a balança e ser criticada por isso, é a carta anônima que mostra como ela é bonita exatamente como é. Os dois últimos episódios não me agradaram muito, mas curti demais o desfecho.
No geral, foi um drama que mais desgostei do que curti, salvando-se apenas menos da metade da história. No entanto, fica a dica para quem gosta de dramas mais levinho e despretencioso.

CUTE and NOT bad... LIGHT
The stories were pretty cute! Another light series to add - extremely short series with 3 different scenarios~Personally, I think they were all pretty good in their own way - some of them may have not ended how one may have imagined or wanted but still had good endings.
Really young romance/crushes, and realistic problems that are definitely relatable.
Great choice on the actors/actresses! All played their parts well and were adorable! Honestly gave such a nostalgic feeling - leaving missing school love, friends, and just youthful memories!
Wouldn't say this is a MUST watch but another wouldn't mind leaving behind the background type and lightly watching.

Adolescência né amigos
Achei a premissa até que interessante, pois trata de alguns assuntos que são considerados tabus não só na Coreia, mas em muitos lugares.Sobre os casais, o mais interessante pra mim foi o segundo, achei eles muito fofos e gostei muito do desenvolvimento, realmente possuia potencial para um dorama só deles. Não consegui gostar do primeiro casal e história por causa da estranheza que me causou nos primeios momentos, já o terceiro casal tinha tudo pra ser bom, eles são muito fofos também e eu amei a inversão de papéis que eles fizeram em alguns momentos, fazendo uma espécie de clichê ao contrário, mas deixaram muito a desejar no final fazendo com que eles fossem apenas amigos.
**Esse dorama me fez ficar apaixonada pelo Minki, nunca tinha notado o quão fofo ele é.

Drôle
J'ai beaucoup rit avec ces quelques épisodes. C'est léger, frais , ce n'est pas le drama du siècle mais ça se laisse regarder. Les différents sujets sont abordés sans tabous ce qui est assez rare.On a le droit à un jeune homme qui est addict à la masturbation et découvre qu'il est loin d'être le seul, une jeune femme qui se fait larguer parce qu'elle n'aime pas embrassé son petit ami (elle est pudique et donc traitée de fille coincée) et une jeune femme en surpoids maltraitée par ses camarades mais qui découvre qu'avant d'essayer de plaire aux autres elle doit se plaire à elle même.Mon histoire préférée est celle du milieu, qui dure sur 3 épisodes avec la jeune fille coincée qui découvrira que le problème ne vient pas d'elle mais du regard des autres et qu'elle n'était pas avec la bonne personne.
