This is one of my favorite Korean dramas. It's very funny but at the same time serious. It gave me a better understanding of Korean educational system. There are also interesting information like study tips for students who will be taking college entrance exams.

The drama was aired on KBS 2 until February 23, 2010. It was aired every Monday and Tuesday at 21:55.
