The premiere episode of School 2017 is a mess, but it’s a beautiful mess – literally and figuratively. Starring IOI’s Kim Sejeong, the first episode of youth drama ‘School 2017’ aired today and although it was a little messy, it was still very fun to watch nonetheless.
‘School 2017’ revolves around our characters and their lives as students trying to survive not only in school but just life in general. The drama will explore the challenges and issues they face as young adults, but also the solutions and ways they use to overcome these obstacles in life.
I’m looking forward to what this drama has to offer because as mentioned in my first podcast, I’m a big fan of youth dramas. I haven’t seen the other ‘School’ dramas in this series so I’m not sure what to expect with this drama. However, from the looks of the cast and teasers that were released, it seems like we’re in for a fun ride! Also, from just the first episode alone, I already have my eyes locked on some of our characters (Tae-woon, Dae-hwi, and Kyung-woo, I’m looking at you).

[Also, this is my first drama recap in a very very long while so I apologize if my recapping seems a bit out of place. I’ll try my best to make up for the long hiatus and to make the recaps coherent and easy and fun to read. I’ll also try to actually stay around this time and finish recapping this entire series… but that’s only if the drama delivers and doesn’t keep me pulling my hair for too long. So with that being said, let’s get started!).

Episode one begins in May with a classroom of students taking what appears to be their third mock exam of the month in preparation for the college entrance exam. While some students are taking the exam seriously and trying their best, some others don’t. They bubble in the same letter choice for each question and some others stare out the window. The clock hits exactly 9:00AM signaling the end of the exam session, but instead of turning in their exams, students are met instead with water. The sprinkler in the classroom erupts and water permeates throughout the classroom. Here we see our female lead Ra Eunho (Kim Sejeong) standing soaked in water while her voice over explains what’s going on in the scene: what they could only wish for to happen in their imagination actually became reality.

The episode takes us back to 5 days earlier prior to the day of the mock exam. Students are seen sprinting out of their classrooms and to the cafeteria so they could get a good spot in line for lunch. However, the teacher in charge of lunch makes it clear how the lunch system works: students are to enter only according to their rank. Those with higher ranks get to eat first and those with lower ranks have to wait towards the end of the line in hopes that the food for lunch won’t run out. So Eunho and her friend Sarang has to return to the end of the line despite having gotten in line first.
While in line, students notice how student Hyun Tae-woon (Kim Jung-hyun) gets
