LONG REVIEW
=================================
I'll start of by saying this is the FUNNIEST drama I have seen.
I'm a sucker for light-hearted romantic comedies and this drama was a very satisfying watch.
This drama doesn't take itself too seriously and never succumbs to the overly serious drama scenes that plague typical kdramas.
CHARACTERS / ACTORS
Seo In Guk is remarkably lovable in this. As Lee Min Suk and fake Lee Hyung Suk he is funny and playful but never to the point of being childish. Fans of Seo In Guk in Reply 1997 will love him in this as well.
Lee Ha Na as Jung Soo Young was very kooky. The actress convincingly portrayed a quirky woman. I can see some viewers not being taken with her character but if you take the character Jung Soo Young at face value she's a lovable character. Til the end, Jung Soo Young never looses her kookiness.
Other than the leads, the side characters including the office workers, and Min Suk's school friends were hilarious in their own right. These side characters had their funny little stories and truly gave the drama a richer feel.
STORY
At its core High School King of Savvy is a romance and the plot takes the backseat to the romance. The plot development was interesting at the start, and not too much as to weigh down the drama. However, the resolution at the end was a bit unsatisfying in its simplicity.
REWATCH?
There are many scenes I would rewatch in the future but as a whole no.
MUSIC
I'm not too much of a drama lover but there was one song that caught my ear which I later found out was actually sang by Seo In Guk (Finding Myself). Wonderful surprise.
