The storyline is quite engaging and the acting from the students is generally good I would say (also hats off to Müfit Kayacan as the vice principal). While there are some scenes that make zero sense and serve no purpose, that should be okay as long as you keep your expectations down, keeping in mind it's nothing more than a high school drama. The dialogues also feel mostly natural, they don't stand out for being over-the-top, which I believe was the main issue with earlier Turkish Netflix series like Atiye and the Protector.
I am however genuinely disappointed by hair and costumes. There seems to be no effort at all to make people actually look like they're from the 90s, which is such a waste of opportunity to authentically capture the essence of that era in Turkey and evoke some nostalgia. Especially when the story is a bit cheesy and not so original, the visuals and vibes are usually what keep a show going, so I expected more effort in this part.
As for the music, even though it has received a lot of positive feedback, in my opinion, this show has probably the hastiest soundtrack ever; it honestly looks like the producers tossed in all the timeless hits they know.
