==Reception==
After an episode depicting [[self-harm]], four students who are at the primary six level in a girls school were discovered showing signs of self-harm.<ref name=":1" /> It was concluded that one of the girls treated it as a trendy thing to do and asked her friends to do it together.<ref name=":1" /> When interviewed, producer Wang You Hong regretted such an incident had happened and trying to reflect a current trend which had not been mostly discovered by parents and educators.<ref name=":1" /> A light touch was applied and there was no intention to popularise and encouraging the act.<ref name=":1" />
The show was criticized for not reflecting the current state of the education sector which Wang refuted that most of the criticism were not valid and some artistic license was taken for some parts. <ref name=":1" />
