[Drama Review] Detectives of Seonam Girls’ High School


Five students are members of a private investigator club at Seonam Girls High School. The five students face problems like private education, abortion, bullying, and suicide. They do their best to solve these problems. 
Spoilers! 

Ahn Chae Yool finds herself in a school she doesn't really like and on top of that, she is attacked and bitten by someone on her way to school. As she becomes curious about the case, which seems to have more victims, she gets acquainted with the school's amateur detective club and recruited by them. Together, the girls solve student-related cases of all kinds. Ha Yeon Joon is a mysterious teacher who is aware of the group and has a particular interest in helping them and Ahn Chae Yool from the sidelines. 

The drama's characters and stories focuses on troubles teenage women face in life and school. From teenage pregnancy to homosexuality, a topic for which the series even made global news, the creators do not shy away from covering a wide range of personal and group problems and making bold statements. Its presentation of the mysteries is fun to watch. The show has its plot holes and some mysteries are too easy to figure out. This problem extends to how deeply the cases are covered.

Review: 

I actually didn't think that I would like this drama at all, but I was so into it that I couldn't even wait for the next episode to come since they air once a week only. I mean it was so interesting and of course we all hate cliff hangers. There nothing I could say bad about this drama, but I wish it was longer and more focus on the relationship between Ahn Chae Yool and Ra Ohn, because I love the pairing, they are cute together. Anyone agree?
