Netizens criticized the show, stating it wasn’t in line with Korea’s customs and social norms. Many other netizens accused the drama of copying similar western dramas like Euphoria and Gossip Girl.
- “It is such a departure from the realities of (schools in) our country. (Dramas about) elite schools like Euphoria and Gossip Girl only work with western schools.”
- “It doesn’t agree with Korea’s customs and social norms.”
- “I wanted to see Lee Chae Min and Roh Jeong Ui, ㅠㅠ. It’s problematic that Netflix likes provocative dramas so much, ㅜㅜ. I’m really hoping for a good drama.”
- “Copying Euphoria.”
- “There is no need for nudity… So why?”
- “What (are they doing) in a country that doesn’t even teach sex-ed correctly?”
- “What (are they doing) with our country’s High Schoolers?… Plus, if they really were in the 0.01%, the students would be attending school abroad.”
- “I don’t think this will go over well with Korean audiences…”
- “Nudity in a High School drama? What are they doing?”
