The Internet Reacts to "Who Are You: School 2015" Finale

[Newsie]

Yesterday was D-day of the highly anticipated finale of the KBS youth drama "Who Are You: School 2015," which would provide the answer to the question that has had the K-drama world divided- who does Eun Bi (Kim So Hyun) end up with? Will she choose the male lead character Han Yi Ahn (Nam Joo Hyuk) or the second lead, Gong Tae Kwang (Yook Sungjae), who has made everyone question if he is really only a second lead? What about Eun Bi's twin, Eun Byul, and the bully So Young (Jo Soo Hyang)? The finale came and went, and depending on how you interpreted the ending, the episode answered all or none of those questions. It left the internet in an uproar and everyone had something to say, whether it was expression of elation or absolute frustration. Here's what it looked like. *Warning. There are spoilers all over.

Before the finale aired, people had to mentally and emotionally prepare for what was to come.

Also, I am about to watch the final episode of #School2015. There will be feels. I'm not ready.

There were various interpretations of the ending:

Some saw it as an open ending.

The ending left people so peeved, they opted to just ship Tae Kwang with someone else.

For some, this was just another K-drama lesson learned.

For others, it was just pure and simple entertainment.

Whatever ship you were on, "Who Are You: School 2015" left an impression, and it will be missed.
