[edit]Synopsis

Susin High School, nicknamed "Prison High," is an elite school attended by the top 1% of students in the country. Their stellar marks are the result of constant pressure and a strict punishment system, to the point where students avoid from any activities outside of studying. It is in this atmosphere that seven students and a teacher remain at school for the winter break, joined by Kim Yo Han, a psychiatrist who was forced to take shelter with them after he was involved in a car accident nearby. At a time when everyone else is celebrating Christmas Eve, the students realize that the anonymous letters they each received were not the result of a harmless prank; there was a murderer in their midst. A question lies unspoken: Are monsters created, or are humans born monsters?

    If you're looking for an action-filled drama of hide-and-seek with a murderer, then this is not the drama for you.

    But if you're looking for a thought provoking drama where you can spend half the time guessing whom the murderer is, and the rest of the time studying the abilities of the human mind; then this is the one for you.

    This drama is based on the question "Are monsters born or made?" and focuses on the psychologic part the story. Now before you back away (I know I usually back farfar away from movies that have a psychologic theme) this one is really worth the watch!

    There were frustrating parts and questions that weren't fully answered. I also wish that there had been more shown     read more

    This drama was very unpredictable which is what got me continuing to watch it in a 3 day span. I liked it because there aren't a lot of episodes, so they packed everything into the 8 episodes they had, making use of all their time wisely. So there were no stupid scenes or useless side stories in play. When I first started watching, it was sort of slow because everyone is trying to find the sender of this letter, but once you get into it, it is no longer about a mere prank but life and death with the serial killer. I must say though that after they discover the killer, that's when the psychological games begin.
    Another side note, it helps that the people are     read more

    Excellent!! Didnt expect to get into it so much?! Really made the debate whether monster are born or made even more confusing!! Loved the ending even tho it was quite open...still dont know the answer to the question but it is one of those questions that will never have the right answer! I know that they had turned into 'monsters' but my question is...what they did, was it evil? If it wasn't (which I think so) then are they truly monsters? Can you call them monsters after what they went through? Muyeol did look a bit psychotic but I think the situation called for it...would he do something 'evil' in th future? Havent pulled an all nighter for a drama in ages...!!! :) also loved the bromance if you can call it bromance between Muyeol and Chi Hoon was rooting for them all the way through!!!

    I'm a bit disappointed with this one. At first I thought it was going to be an exciting thriller with lots of deaths or something like that but it turned out to be a psychological drama, which normally I like but hoped for something else this time.
    The guys were really handsome and pleasant to watch but sometimes the acting (especially the main actor's) was so wooden and unnatural that I was embarassed for them.

    To sum it up: 10 for the looks, 7 for story and 5 (I think I'm affected by their looks, that's why I rated it so high) for acting.

    I just realized, but some of the summary/synopsis for this one is very wrong.

    I normally prefer to watch romantic dramas and I was curious about this one because the poster is very attractive with all those cute faces. I wasn't interested in the plot that I thought it would be another high school story with a murder. I'm glad that I decided to give it a try. From the first episode I knew I wouldn't be dissapointed. The story is more complicate that it likes at the begining and has many twists and surprises. Even if sometimes it seems obvious you never are certain what will happens next. I liked the acting, the diversity of characters and their roles well fixed in amusing stories that describe the personality of each individual as their interactions with the group.
