I think that the wide collection of diverse characters and their individual stories is what drives the drama straight to the top. Each character feels well balanced and adds something to the story that another character couldn't. And all the intertwining relationships and background stories added to the overall enjoyment of this series.
All of the actors did an incredible job with their parts, creating dynamic and believable characters that not only tugged on my heartstrings, but also made my stomach turn with disgust and anger. Even the characters that were part of the side investigations (that didn't really have anything to do with the main plot, but rather bringing the main cast together) were particularly dynamic and brought incredible emotions to the table for the short time they were on screen.
The plot was just as amazing. When you thought the drama was going to turn right, it made a left. There was so much tension and heart in the side investigations alone, but the main stories were even more incredible and satisfying.
The setting, the music, costuming, etc. was also pretty good. Definitely one of the more visually pleasing dramas I've seen in a while.
Although this drama was pretty amazing, it's not without it's faults. The last few episodes did feel like a bit of a drag. It's regrettable, because I feel that it had to do with the main plot line (which, sadly, began to fall in excitement and love-abilty at about episode 16). Thankfully it picked up again on episode 19 and everything went back to the exciting nature of the drama.
Overall this was a completely satisfying and particularly amazing drama, one of the best I've seen all year. I will probably end up watching it again sometime in the future. I recommend this drama for anyone, even if you don't like cop dramas you should still give it a try (don't knock something before you try it, or you might miss out on this fantastic drama).

However, one of the only reasons that I finished the drama was the bromance, and man, the bromance is strong with this one. Granted the story line was actually pretty good, and every character played an important part in making this series what it was (an exploration into how people affect each other's lives and how important friendships are in shaping the lives of young adults and their futures).
The drama did drag on a bit through the second half, but it never lots it's original purpose and that's what kept me interested. Each character had their own story to tell, and each actor did an amazing job telling that story. Especially the two lead teachers, who had an amazing chemistry that had nothing to do with romance.
The lack of romance is definitely one of it's strengths. By not adding romance it allowed the drama to reach another level of friendship that isn't typically seen in this genre. Which brings me back to Heung Soo and Nam Soon, the two best reasons to watch this drama. Their bromance kept me going, making me laugh, cry, and throw a tantrum when things didn't go right. I can't remember ever seeing such an amazing friendship, and it's really what kept me coming back for more.
Overall, I can't find many reasons not to watch this drama (well maybe the ridiculous reasons they concoct to attempt to expel students ever other day). If you are reluctant to watch it as I was, don't be. It's a great watch, and definitely made me appreciate the friends I have.
