My beginning when watching didn't have much expectation, but when episode one made me think it had a pretty good plot and when I entered the second episode it made wow this is amazing. I got carried away in this story which was packaged simply but made the audience really feel this was real. Issue like this are indeed considered closed but this is real around us, and must be recognized by everyone.
I have no complaints for this series, all the casts are very good at playing their roles even though they are still young. In the romantic story between Jisoo and Gyuri, it amazes me because it is so deep where they are with each other. Hope the next season will be in 2021, because this series is highly anticipated by fans. Thank you Netflix

This review may contain spoilers
Coming into this drama I thought it would just be any other thriller type drama and I honestly watched it because of dong-hee as he played in ateen, sky castle and itaewon class , and his acting is pretty good. After just watching the first episode I was really suprised because I didn't it to be this good. And after every episode, I found myself just shocked because of the plot twists and just the shock factor after every episode (sorry if that didn't make sense). But anyways this drama is really good please watch it. Also I fell in love with park joo hyun, her acting was soooooo good, her emotions were all so real and *spoiler alert* she was able to cry on the spot like wuuuuuuuuuuuu. I feel like alot of very good actors and actresses can't cry on the spot and the fact she could change emotions like a full 180 is insane and i just hope she can get casted for more work I really love her work. dont worry im not a sasaeng fan

Superb Acting! Not your typical high school story AT ALL!
I LOVE this movie. In general I like romance and comedy...easy, light stuff like that ;). This IS NOTHING LIKE THAT! But, it got my attention from the start! I got so bored with K movies lately; even if somehow they manage to be ok at the begining, I lose interest very soon, or at best I can watch (some kdramas) untill almost the end, but stiil. can not the last 3-4 episodes... I just loose interest...they are so predictable and boring. This movie captivated me from the get-go and lasted all the way untill absolutly the last minute! I loved everything about this movie ( less the stupid, dum fighting scenes at the hotel)! The acting is SUPERB! I love both main actors so much!!! WOW, both were CAPTIVATING!!! Man, do these two kids know how to express emotions (and without overdoing it) ?! Looking forward to seeing their future work!!! I will watch every movie these 2 kids appear in! The storyline and how it develops is great as well; as I said, I NEVER got bored or guessed out the ending. Though many will disagree, I think the ending was perfect. Though I will so much like a continuation :) This is not a cute romatic drama, but boy, what a drama....and ending being a love story after all, without any actual love scenes...wow, that ending got me.???????

Very extracurricular! Not your usual school story
This is great drama brilliantly crafted all parts of the plot came together and worked out with surprise outcomes to the end〜 I binge watched last 3 episodes 〜but do not expect the usual school story of romance, bullying social and domestic problems、 this is tough unforgiving bloody and violent and shows the sordid underside of society with these not- yet -adult school students plunged into the adult storm of reality。 Some characaters〜 not the main leads〜 I found difficult to have any empathy with - these were just childish and caused all the trouble because they were the most confident they knew it all but actually least able to handle the dangerous world they trod into but I accept the actors played the part well to create those feelings in me. I do not think there was a single person not playing their part well. Knowing the plot I will not rewatch 〜only need one watch for message to hit through but highly recommend if you have strong stomach and strong mind to deal with this drama.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
The acting was incredible! I've seen Kim Donghee in A-Teen and SKY Castle but his acting here completely blew me away. His character is quite different from his other roles but he pulled it off so well; I could feel his emotion in some of the scenes. He definitely has a bright path ahead of him! Park Joo-hyun as Bae Gyuri played her role extremely well. Contrary to most, I loved her character and I definitely felt like she bright a spark to the show! Her character was super female-empowering and very intriguing, Gyuri is incredibly smart and playful and you never know what to expect from her or what she's going to do next.
Overall, if you enjoy a short drama/thriller (10 episodes) that is dark and revolves around crime, I highly suggest to watch it! The show also really reminded me of the WebToon, Lookism, so if you read/enjoy that webtoon I definitely recommend.

And all of a sudden is my favorite kdrama
NO ONE TALK TO ME! This was definitely the best kdrama i've ever watched!Definitely NOT for everyone though! I love f*cked up stories, and usually only watch truly crazy stuff like this in western produtions, so to be able to see it in korean it's something i didn't see coming!
10/10! The acting, the characters development, the story, the plot twists... it's just chief's kiss, honestly!
Not used to these kind of endings from a korean production, though. I fully accept these type of endings from movies (mainly western ones) and so on, but it's legit the first time a kdrama leaves me like this... and i kind of like it. It's insane... honestly! Just wow... Kim Dong Hee has 4 kdramas on his CV so far... and on the list there's Sky Castle and Itaewon Class... HE IS INSANE! A main role at his age... wow. I CAN'T WAIT to watch what this kid will do next. I'll legit watch anything he's in! Super impressed! (good job JYP aha)

Extracurricular... what can I say about it? I feel like there should be more. And apparently there will be another season. Maybe after that season has ended I'll finally be able to describe the experience properly.
To put it simply, though, Extracurricular was a very intense very crazy and very very good kdrama. The main lead, Oh Ji Soo, was a bad guy who wasn't actually that bad. Bae Gyu Ri was similar in that sense but offered a completely different character than other dramas have shown before. Both main characters were exceptional, so much so that despite their wrong doings, I was on their side the entire time.
The season finale showed something that can only be resolved with another season. Personally, I think I'll set aside my entire review for that time when we have more answers.
For now, I just want to say from the bottom of my heart that this drama was great. Truly. I await the next season.
Enjoy watching.

We have the average setting of a high school, your typical social groups, exam struggles and all that. But this is far more than the school... we delve into the lives of the down right criminals and get taken on a perilous journey that all originates from a kids dream to live a normal life. I really found myself questioning who i should sympathise with, how such a spiral could occur. This was so much more than your casual high school drama.
I am so so happy for the cast! Woah! talk about acting!
Honestly i was a bit worried, even though i love Dong Hee, after his performance in Itaewon Class i wasnt sure if he would pull this off... damn was i wrong. He absolutely killed it, he's really come a long way in a short time, i cant wait to see his next drama
Yes the female lead was annoying to begin, but i get the feeling thats the vibe they were going for, so Joo Hyun obviously played her well. Further into the drama she develops and matures a lot.
The whole cast was just great, whoever chose them did a great job and i couldnt have asked for more!
I would definitely watch again, i wish it couldve been longer but with such a short, impactful story dragging it out longer probably wouldve been a mistake.
I wasnt too keen on the ending, its very open for interpretation. i get the feeling Netflix are setting up for a second season, which could be great, or could also be a problem. While Extracurricular worked so well in the 10 episode format, i feel possibly expanding to a second season could be stretching it too far. i would be intrigued to see where the plot could go next!
But apart from that i 100% recommend Extracurricular, only 10 hours of perfection!

This is just AMAZING!
WOW. WOW. WOW this is such a new genre and take on stereotypical high school teen drama. I watched it expecting to be quite romance and a little bit dark but it exceeded my expectations. The plot is just magnificent and smart. I love how I get similar feels from this drama and How to Bury a Friend which both I loved. An excellent student with a dream and a sad family background striving for a better future and a rich student that loves adventures and being independent. Both being from a reality based family, a duo that we never expected to be needed in this drama. I love how behind the excellent student mask lies an ambitious boy that will do anything it takes to achieve his dream. If you are into dark dramas with a traumatizing plots and twists as well as ending you should definitely check this out.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
I watched it last year and I still think about it
I just wish I could watch this again for the first time and I am waiting for the second season holding my breath. Normally I forget about new seasons and I just watch them when they pop up somewhere but with Extracurricular I check at least once a month if there is any news.The acting was amazing, the story had me absolutely hooked and I watched it in two days. The music and cinematography makes it even better, I've listened to two songs from the soundtrack ever since I first watched it. Such a good show for anyone who likes thrillers and antiheroes. It's perfect!

A rubber band that is just stretched to its limits.... and eventually snaps!
A diligent student, Oh Ji Soo (Kim Dong Hee) aims for enrolling Korean prestigious universities while living all alone. To make ends meet, he secretly runs a security service for sex workers and has been successfully earn savings for his dream. However, his job is at risk of being exposed when his classmate Bae Gyuri (Park Ju Hyun) steals his work phone and starts blackmailing him.This is one of a rare crime-thriller school drama executed to the best of its potential. Every element that makes a show GREAT are there! Powerful acting, crisp filmmaking, high-intensity OSTs, engaging metaphors and thrilling character arc. A roller coaster of emotions jam-packed in 10 short episodes! The story is dealing with controversial topics without being explicit nor shaming them, as well as study pressure that all students face.
The first few episodes might feel a bit slow, but they were intriguing and unsettling. Then the second half was like a bullet train wreck, with me entirely in the passenger seat, constantly feeling a strong tension. Lots of daring awesome action scenes: cars exploding, fist fights, students go and trash a karaoke bar! XD Ji Soo’s PTSD-induced nightmares are some of the most thought-provoking and memorable scenes, really showed how bleak the situation he’s gotten into. Thanks Kim Dong Hee for being a really engaging Ji Soo!
It ended on a strong climax, and I have no complaint regarding the “slightly open for interpretation” ending. The story felt sufficient, concluded, and it has clearly delivered the message it says in the poster, that “Some mistakes can not be erased.”
