The plot and idea of KKK (shortly- kana kanum kalangal) was damn good as it was the very first serial in Tamizh which said about school students, their feelings, triffling fights between two gangs, one side love, crushes, punishments from teachers, mark sheet, report card, parents and teachers association meetings etc.
