White Christmas is a very fascinating exploration of the human mind and the lengths we might go to in order to survive. The atmosphere was very dry, stark, and lonely with some excellent music to really set the mood for the drama. It’s an intense drama that delivered a lot of suspense as we watched a game of life and death play out when students found themselves facing a killer. This teen drama is quite a bit darker, but it’s one of my favorites. Trust within the group quickly deteriorates as everyone finds themselves fighting for their lives. After all of the students receive a cryptic letter, they soon learn there may me a murderer among them. Plot: A group of eight students and their teacher are the only ones left at their prestigious school located deep in the mountains during Christmas break when a snowstorm cuts them off from civilization. Monstar is a great example of a well done high school drama. ( Monstar Review) 8. It created a heartfelt and moody atmosphere that I found very pleasant and refreshing. The students all have difficult things they are dealing with, and their stories are all presented well which allowed me to emotionally connect with them. It beautifully weaves the music into the narrative of the story, and the songs frequently reflect the emotions the characters are going through at the time. Monstar is a very fun and compelling drama with a refreshing focus on music. He gets involved with an odd transfer student (Ha Yeon Soo) who is talented in music, and they become part of a band with several other students all dealing with difficult issues. Plot: A singer (Yong Jun Hyung) in a popular boy band has to go to high school to clean up his image. It’s a very moving and heartfelt drama that offers a little something different. It delivers at being both a cute and fun relationship drama as well as a thoughtful and poignant look at life in 1970’s Korea. The drama develops a very bittersweet quality to it as it progresses. Yet behind the fun was a melancholy undertone as it follows some serious issues the teens have to deal with. It’s breezy and fun as we get to know this group of teenagers and go along with them on their relationship journeys. Lingerie Girls’ Generation is very much a slice of life teen drama with a nostalgic feel to it both in look and tone that completely captures its 1970’s setting. Relationships are turned upside down after a girl from Seoul transfers there.
Plot: Lingerie Girls’ Generation is about teenagers growing up in the 1970’s in a rural town. But both types of stories made my list of personal favorites when it comes to teen and high school dramas.
I’m fairly picky when it comes to this genre and tend to prefer teen dramas that are more dramatic rather than realistic. They can be relatable, nostalgic, and also offer a little wish fulfillment for some of our teenage fantasies. Teen and high school themed stories are quite a popular genre of Korean dramas.
