It's a thought-provoking drama. The initial consideration of the school, providing alternative paths for underachieving students through differentiated instruction, is the most practical approach. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, and it's something that must be acknowledged in reality.

Art originates from life and surpasses it. I feel saddened by Yu Yang's experience, but it's indeed a story that can happen in real life. The content is realistic, and it sharply reflects social contradictions. I love this kind of conscientious drama!

On the whole, there are still some good aspects, and even though some things are overlooked, it still maintains its integrity. Just as I was engrossed in the plot, the background music kicked in, and oh, it's really well done.
Wrapped in a bunch of clichéd small issues is a very clichéd overarching theme. However, the screenwriter is still trying to add some creativity, like meeting the demands of the clients while wanting to inject a personal touch of aesthetic. So far, the integration of creativity seems decent.

Sorry, but I just love watching action-packed youth dramas. Isn't reality already harsh and boring enough? If this drama is simply about enjoyment, then it's indeed difficult to evaluate. However, this drama does explore many sharp social issues such as gender bias, people-pleasing personalities, and whether one's background determines their destiny. It showcases various learning methods and interesting details. For example, nowadays, students really dislike that kind of manipulative interactive speeches (school leaders, please don't pat yourselves on the back). This drama does employ some exaggerated plot devices, but honestly, without comparison, there's no impact. This is the kind of high school life and learning atmosphere that everyone anticipates.

The biggest problem with the adaptation of Episode 08 from the Japanese drama is still the cultural mismatch... The casting is a complete failure. I don't understand why they picked five actors for high school roles who lack any youthful vibe and instead have a mature look on their faces. (Considering they were supposed to match the Japanese drama counterparts...) Anyone who has taken the college entrance examination would feel that the teaching methods portrayed are extremely unrealistic and outdated.

When little Lei Ming returned home and Teacher Lei recited the line, "Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on one's shoulders, surely one must first suffer their hearts and minds, toil their muscles and bones, starve their skin, and deprive their body," wasn't that his educational philosophy towards Lei Ming? The imagery combined with that dialogue is so profound, it breaks my heart for Lei Ming.

When Teacher Lei Ming said, "Performative effort," it felt like I was called out through the screen. Back in school, pretending to be busy without knowing what I was actually busy with, that was definitely performative effort. It made me laugh. After all these years, getting caught by Lei Ming.

Seeing Lei Ming's confident appearance hiding a broken heart, I suddenly felt that Teacher Lei's childhood was also somewhat unsatisfactory. However, he still chose to use his own light to illuminate the path forward for Class 11. He is a great and kind-hearted teacher.

Aspiring + redemption + healing + growth, it's already a nice theme. But, but...
