Plot
In the first episode of the drama "Who are you? School 2015", the plot focuses on the life of two schoolgirls, like two drops of water. Ko Eun Byol and Lee Eun Bi are girls with a completely different fate. But with exactly the same appearance. This resemblance of the two main heroines confuses the viewer. However, after several episodes, everything falls into place.
Two sisters - one fate
Lee Eun Bi is an orphan. She lives in the "House of Love", taking care of the same orphans as she herself. Life does not spare the girl - bullying of classmates, loneliness, a catastrophic lack of money. She grabs at any job. However, the girl retains a good heart. She has a heightened sense of justice. This viewer sees already in the first episodes of the first series.

She accidentally found out that she had a sister, and tried her best to help her. This is one of the few good features of this spoiled girl - she cares for those who are dear to her.
Once the sisters were in the same city. While Eun Byol disappeared and was searched by all her classmates and heartbroken mother, Eun Bi decided to commit suicide. She had already plunged into the water when she saw in front of herself ... herself. The girl, like two drops of water like her, held her hand.
When Eun Byol's mother receives a message from the hospital, her joy has no limits. She finds the girl in the ward with her head broken. She does not remember anything from her past, not even her own name.
Soon, In Böhl begins to seem that the life she lives is not really her ... The girl must figure it out and find a sister. In the meantime, she lives, enjoying the care of her mother and the normal life of a teenage girl. But the shadows of the past still stand behind and are waiting in the wings.
"Who are you? School 2015": actors
Let's start with the actress. The main female role in the drama was played by Kim So Hyun. She got two images at once, and she coped with them perfectly. Each of her heroines is interesting and unique in her own way.
Kim So Hyun, a South Korean actress and model, was born in Australia. The girl is only 18. She was born in the family of an actress and businessman. For 14 years, the girl lives in South Korea, where she moved with her parents at 4 years old.
The actress starred in dramas and films since 2006. Today, the list of her roles is more than impressive, given her young age. She took part in such famous projects as "The Sun in the Embrace of the Moon", "I Miss You", "Singing in the Blackthorn", "The Prince from the Attic".
Where in the drama without a love triangle? Actors Song Jae and Nam Joo Hyuk played the main male roles in the drama "Who are you? School 2015". According to the plot, Eun Byol is in love with the hero Nam Joo Hyuk, but the girl does not remember anything from her past life, so it is not surprising that the hero Son Jae appears on the scene. The young man has been in love for a long time, but our heroine had not paid any attention to him before. Now he has a chance.
Yuk Song Jae is an aspiring actor and singer. He is only 22 years old, but he is already actively acting in dramas, is a member of a musical group and various reality shows. The actor was born into a wealthy family of the CEO. He has an older sister. Yuk Song Jae claims that his own attractiveness is very important for him, so someone’s negative feedback about his appearance can unsettle him for the whole day.
Nam Joo Hyuk was born in Busan in 1994. His height is 188 cm. In high school, he was short and very worried about this. But to correct this shortcoming he helped basketball in high school. However, after the injury, the young man had to abandon the sport. Then he became interested in the modeling business, although his parents were categorically against it. He quickly passed the contest in a model school and began to build a career. The start was very successful. Now Nam Joo Hyuk is actively starring in music videos, dramas, and participating in the show.
"School tradition"
The first series about school and teenage issues came out in 1999 and was called "School 1". The series was filmed for three years. He was an incredible success both in Korea and abroad. Therefore, after it was shot a few more "school" seasons - "School 2013", "School 2015", Who are you? School 2015 ("Who are you? School 2015"). Each season talks about different people. But all of them are united by a common theme of school and youth. It shows real teenage problems, as well as eternal values ​​- love, friendship, mutual assistance. But if the previous seasons talked more about friendship, the drama "Who are you? School 2015", the actors of which we discussed above, focuses on the love line. In addition, the plot has a riddle. The detective genre added drama to the poignancy.
Most of the actors who took part in these projects soon made a great career for themselves. Today they are actively filming in dramas and are known throughout the country.
At the moment, they plan to shoot the next season - "School 2017". What actors will be involved is still unknown.
Why is it worth watching? Reviews
This drama has received many positive reviews. There are not only teenage problems in the form of unrequited love and difficulties at school. The secret hidden from viewers keeps in suspense until the last episodes. We see the ordinary life of Eun Byol, the one that her sister never had. We see sympathy from two handsome athletes. The heroine lives a normal school life, but the audience is constantly racking their brains over what happened to the second sister.
Detective stories Koreans really work out brilliantly. They are not only confusing, but also unpredictable. Despite the presence of some cliches that are present in each drama, it’s difficult to predict exactly whether directors will spare their second sister or not.
Unexpected plot twists and constant questions that the heroine (as well as the viewers) does not receive an answer ... For the sake of this, it’s definitely worth a look!
In their reviews of "Who are you? School 2015" fans pay attention to the excellent musical accompaniment. It is very finely matched. Soundtracks accurately convey the charm or importance of the moment, making viewers feel the same emotions as the characters.
A good play of actors "Who are you? School 2015" deserves special attention. Not only Kim perfectly got used to the role and masterfully conveyed the characters of two completely different girls. All the actors did a great job with their characters. The performers of the main and secondary roles deserve praise.
Negative drama reviews
Such, in essence, are few. Of course, in the plot there is a certain naivety, which is inherent in all South Korean dramas. But fans easily forgive the screenwriters for these little weaknesses. After all, they are the basis of Korean charm.
Not without a “traditional” love triangle between a girl and two guys.
In addition, the series shows the cruelty inherent in many high schools. This makes the viewer think, but at the same time immersed in a viscous abyss of hopelessness. Is there really no justice in this world?
Conclusion
In general, the series is very worthy: somewhere very serious and sad, but somewhere incredibly funny and touching. Let's hope that the next "school" season will not disappoint the viewer.
