What happens when High-Schoolers play Prosecutor and defense?
Firstly, I would like to commend myself for completing this one Hell of a show. It actually feels as if it was written by a high school kid. I understand kids being sad at the loss of their classmate. But why would they play prosecutor-defense. Just why?
I think studying too much got into their brain. They probably would have never ever talked to So Woo all these years and now when he has died they show sympathy for him and are even risking their careers just to find out why he died. They start playing prosecutor-defense and brings in the school's bully as a defendant when the police have twice concluded that it was a suicide. They believe on a stupid letter written by a mad girl( I know she was bullied and all. But man I also hated her character. All she did was played victim ,cried and yelled). And what is funny is that the kids start finding evidence which were overlooked by the police. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Throughout the show I didn't understood just why was So Hoo so depressed that he committed suicide. The world is unfair. We all know that. If you are born with a silver spoon. You start at a different point than the one who is dirt poor. But I think he lives in a world of fantasy. Just because his high school was giving special privileges to some VIP students. He committed suicide. I get it that he was depressed before also. But I just couldn't justify why he was like that. If he was being a shut-in who didn't talked to anyone then it is not like the world would come and talk to him. O don't know at what point it started to feel all gibberish to me.
Also what is wrong with Kim Hyun Soo's acting in this drama. Her expression looks like that of a dead fish for the most part of the drama. She improved her acting quite a lot in The Penthouse. For the most part of the drama Han Ji Hoon's character was the only driving force that kept me going. But at the end of the drama even though I pitied his character. He too started to get on my nerves. So I am finishing this drama with probably nothing to like. If you have finished all the thriller/crime/mystery dramas and have time to waste then you may watch this drama. Even though I wouldn't suggest it though.
