MY STRANGE HERO REVIEW



This is a story about Kang Bok Su, a high school student who was falsely accused of commiting acts of violence and ended up expelled from school. Those who brought the accusations against him were his first love, Son Soo Jung, and a fellow student, Oh Se Ho. Kang Bok Su has now become an adult, but in his life, nothing seems to go right for him. To get revenge on Son Soo Jung and Oh Se Ho, he decides to return to the same high school. He then gets involved in a series of unexpected events. [KoreanDrama.org]



I've watched this drama without reading the synopsis. At first, I was confused with the first episode. Having too much confusion lead me to watch more episodes. I remembered that I finished the series by two or three days. Now you know why... This series is so goooooood! Here's my review:

  • Story- 10

I really liked the story. First, by watching this series, I recently liked stories that are complicated. Why? Because they excite me. I want stories that are full of surprises. Second, this series can make everyone learn. From the students to the parents because it portrays the real situation of a student who wants to find justice, who wants to remove discrimination, who wants to live like a normal person. Even if I'm not facing those situations, I can understand the story for I am a student. Also, it portrays the importance of friends and family being by your side.  Third, I liked the story because of the the hidden stories being revealed little by little through each episode. After watching an episode, here comes my mind, overthinking what will be happening in the next episodes. I predicted some situations and I got them wrong! I like that because no one knows what will happen next hihi... Last, the genres. It's not just a school drama. It has drama, family, comedy, mystery, and romance. They're all mixed up so the drama turned out to be perfect for me.

  • Acting- 10

I liked how each of the actors played their roles. I really appreciated their efforts! Kang Bok Su made me laugh and cry. He made me strong. He made me realize that each of us can be a hero of our own. I just knew that Yoo Seung Ho is a really great actor. He seems like he wants us to feel the real emotions/moods of a certain story. He acted as if he experienced those situations in his life. I can't explain it clearly. He's an excellent actor!!! Son Soo Jung made me see and feel the word "regret". Yes, I now understand that a single word can change one's life. Kang Bok Su and Son Soo Jung showed that "first love never dies". Also, they showed that when you love a person, you will be with him/her. You will fight together. I like this couple haha! Oh Se Ho, on the other hand, got me mad. Meaning to say, Kwak Dong Yeon is also a great actor. Yeah, I got mad that I wanted to punch someone whom I hated! That's in the first episodes. But when the series came to its end, I feel sorry for him. (Just watch if you want to know why haha). Lee Kyung Hun and Yang Min Ji gave me a lesson, and that is you do need a friend to stay by your side. I liked how these pips helped Kang Bok Su when he's struggling in his life. They wholeheartedly helped each other. They're like a family. As for the other supporting characters, yeah, they're really good. They made the story complete! Two thumbs up for the characters. I love them!!!


  • Cast- 10

All of the actors matched well with their characters. They look good when they're together especially the five main characters. They will make you feel different emotions. They "strongly" acted to project the other side of them when it comes to acting.


  • Music- 8.9

For me, some of the soundtracks fit the series. I liked "I'll Meet You" by Ken of VIXX, "Are You Listening" by Hwang Chi Yeul, "Love Story" by Stella Jang, "Snowflake Love" by Yuju of GFRIEND, and "Is it Love?" by DinDin and Soyeon of Laboum. Those are the songs which , for me, added more emotions to the series.

  • Rewatch Value- 8

I'll definitely watch this series again! But, the excitement that I've felt when I started watching this series will not be the same, I felt sad for that. I knew the whole series for I once became addicted to this! That's the good point. Maybe I'll rewatch this when I want to feel struggled and heavy with a little touch of hope and happiness!

  • Overall- 9.3

This drama gave me new lessons in life. I like how the story ended. I'm really satisfied with it! I like how the actors played their roles. I like the little revelations. I like how Kang Bok Su and Son Soo Jung showed their love for each other. I like how the characters gave emphasis on friends and family. Last, I like how Kang Bok Su got his revenge. It's really cool!


I recommend this drama for students and young adults who want to know more about life, about living life with struggles. I promise that you will learn many things, feel different feelings, and look to the other sides of your lives!
