what’s it about
Four hopeless students, which include one attitudinally-challenged jajangmyun delivery boy Yoo SeungHo and the two girls who have the hots for him Park JiYeon and Go AhSung, attend an equally hopeless high school where their education is slowly being flushed down a toilet by laziness and complacency. The three mentioned above and two other kids are given the random opportunity of a lifetime to better their education by joining a “special class” designed like a edu boot camp for dummies by an overly moralistic and pompous lawyer (Kim SuRo) with some point to prove. By recruiting a strange assortment of quirky but effective teachers, Kim SuRo aims to change the lives of these five kids; even makes a wager that he can get these students into a top university by [his] hard work and [his] sheer force of will.

I could tell immediately that Kim Suro’s character, an entertainer I normally like, had a great potential to become annoying. I did not love it...
