==Review==
The show basically touches on issues our generation of kids face in high school like sexuality: gay/lesbian, the harmful effects of rumours, monetary problems, gangs etc. It's directed by, director DJ Chen. "Seventh Grade" is a Taiwanese nick-name referring to directors born in the 1980s, the seventh decade after the founding of the Chinese republic in 1911.

However, it touches on these issues lightly and seems to give a sense of homophobia. At any rate, the show is a hodgepodge of stereotypes trying to represent present day high school students. While the acting of the older actors are convincing enough, the younger actors in the supporting class have a lot to work on. Only Ariel Lin seemed to shine in her lead character as Yeah Li, but for some reason her character "leaves to America" half way through the series and never comes back, perhaps Ms. Lin realized there were better shows out there to be in or had conflicting ideas with the director, either way, it's a pity her character leaves. Ms. Lin does a great job portraying head strong girls. Kelly Lin plays the head cheerleading coach and while she's pretty, her acting needs a little working on. However, as a whole, the entire cast worked well and judging from the behind the scenes clips it seemed like they had a lot of fun filming this series. It's a pretty short series and the ending makes the audience feel gypped. Mike He is also in this drama although his character is a supporting minor character, he now is a generation idol, but this show is his humble beginning.

However, the one actor that stood out in my mind, 顧瀚昀, plays the "romantic lead" to Ariel Lin's character. His character is called Li Zi Wei - 李子威, shaven head, earring wearing, gangsta looking kid, but is a budding star, and does well in this series. If only he were in more series, because he and Ariel made this series watchable. It's really cute how he "waits" for her to come back. So sweet.

All in all, the movie's acting and script is a 2 out of 5, but I rate the directing 4 out of 5, hence overall, the movie was a 3 out of 5 movie experience.
