I loved GBG. It was funny and has a great pace. It's a more realistic look at modern school kids compared to the dramas. Plus it's very short so it's great for one of those in between drama kind of breaks.

I liked them despite the most recent reviews on this site. Each episode had its own pace and perspective, the common thread being youth and liking someone. I'm Off to School seemed to have something missing in continuity, though. Kim Dong Wook always seems to play the awkward guy (Coffee Prince, Five Senses of Eros) and Jeong Ui Cheol has played the disturbed kid before. Good casting, interesting, funny, thought provoking.

Watched "Girl by Girl" . Fun story of friendship and such. Good watch. Also watched "Genie in a Lamp" loved the boys friendship..some interesting developments with the bully, which I wish they had revealed earlier and explored more. The girl (Seo Jung) was an unnecessary plot point. Will watch the other two movies later.

So the best story was "Girl by Girl" followed by "Punch Strike". "Girl by Girl" had a great simple message of friendship and loyalty. "Punch Strike" is a clever story about revenge. The other two were forgettable. Though I found I'm Off to School light-hearted and fun On a side note the teacher abuse in "Punch Strike" made me uncomfortable and angry, which I guess is what the director was going for. I really wanted punch that teacher in the face. And the fish cake scene, well ...
