The series was filmed primarily in California, USA, in the vicinity of Los Angeles. Real urban and suburban locations were used to create the atmosphere of a modern American school and teenage life. Filming took place in typical residential neighborhoods, on school grounds, and on busy streets, adding authenticity to the visual narrative. These locations helped convey the inner world of the characters, their emotional experiences, and the contrasts between external life and hidden dramas.
