Reasons to watch the first clip:
(1) Tamar posted a clip, so I watched it. Then I was interested enough to start watching from the beginning.
(2) The Korean buildings reminded me a bit of Russia.
(3) I was impressed with the Korean school systems that were portrayed: they showed a genuine esteem for education (math in particular), and they showed the students cleaning the school after the day was over.
(3) The drama is subtle, not forced like too many American shows...
I could write more, but not for now...
Yeah, I did. I forgot about that. LOL!
(2) The Korean buildings reminded me a bit of Russia.
I wouldn't know about that (never been to Russia). However, they almost exclusively use concrete to build homes, apartments, etc with now. Their forests were decimated during Japanese rule and have barely recovered (not to different from Israel in a way.)

I'm most impressed with the fact that they aren't afraid to discipline the students. They don't let the students run amok and the parents don't let the students run amok either. The teachers actually care about their students (even if they are harsh by our standards).

Probably too subtle for some. Very Confucian (which can be confusing to some).

C'mon, gotta see if we can put the thread over the 400 mark. LOL!
