If I am not mistaken, this is Moon Chae Won’s debut drama and Lee Minho’s first Leading role. This dama is about an underachiever going to a prestigious school on a soccer scholarship, but because he had disgraced the school during a soccer game, over night he becomes the ugly duckling of the school; everyone except his best friend wants him out. But one day a mysterious and really pretty girl transfers to his school and is put into his homeroom, so he decides to stay and win her heart.

Lee Minho was awesome in his role as Cha Gong Chan. I think, this is the best adolescent role he’s played. When Gong Cha was angry I wanted to laugh, when he cried I wanted to cry, his teenage spirit had me rooting for him to succeed to the very end.

Its a shame that this drama was cut so short. Because this drama is suppose to be kinda Manga-like there’s alot of overacting and unattractive, exaggerated facial expression. But once you get pass that, the acting by the whole cast is pretty solid. The ending of this drama, however, is the biggest flaw for me, it ended too soon with too many unanswered questions..
