To become a monster, or to live like a pig?

The King of Pigs is easily one of the best school violence/ bullying themed dramas I've watched. It is short but detailed and explicit. Definitely not for the faint hearted!

Entered this drama with no expectation but it had me hooked since the beginning. The ominous vibe of it is amazing. The story is extremely well written. The characters are intrinsic and layered. I loved the way they took time to weave the story about the punishment given to the bullies.

The FL was almost unnecessary. I didn't really like the person playing it either. Jong Suk's character became the most pathetic and pitiful person in the show. It was hard to sympathethize with him.

My favourite character undoubtedly was Kyung Min. Such a soft and warm hearted child turned into a revengeful merciless person for himself and his best friends. He had my full support throughout. I loved the way he handled the bullies, they deserved every bit of pain given to them.

Undoubtedly the child actors did the best out of the entire cast. They are all extremely talented.

The ending is what I expected as soon as I figured what was going on but it still didn't fail to give me goosebumps!
The last frame is the most beautiful in the entire show.

In conclusion, I will remember the King of Pigs forever.
