School Days from 1987 has this lingering sense of youthful anxiety, you know? Hae-ri's journey feels raw and relatable—she just wants to fit in, but her heart pulls her toward dance. The way her friendship with Chang-ha unfolds is quite tender, but there's a bittersweet edge. The pacing definitely captures that school life rhythm, moving from friendships to self-discovery. The performances aren't overblown, which adds to the authenticity. It's not heavy on practical effects, but the emotional weight is palpable. What makes this film distinctive is the blend of adolescent struggles and the dream-chasing narrative, all wrapped in a drama that feels both personal and universal. Worth a watch for those into character-driven stories.
