One of the most intriguing aspects of the show is how it has captured the individual and different personalities and characters of the students. It is clear that the show does not try to show them as homogenous individuals; instead, we get to learn who they are as unique individuals, witnessing their triumphs and struggles. The camera picks up on the students' various challenges, like learning challenges, social challenges, and personal challenges, that some of them face daily, revealing the diversity of students and their different needs.

The show has an intense and genuine feel to it. You can tell that a lot of thought and heart went into its conception and creation, particularly in how it manages to include so many different perspectives.
