Like many I was intrigued when I first saw this on Netflix’s what’s next video showing all of this years releases and considering it had all my favourite elements (supposedly), rich kid problems, school setting, bullying etc, I was seated. That was until I actually tuned into this disaster. It starts out promising with great cinematography and a good premise but half of the storylines set up get side tracked for a very useless and boring romance plot which you are not expecting whatsoever. Depressed expressionless fml with ‘troubles’ that means she has to push everyone away despite being offered help by her super rich bf which he probably could’ve resolved and saved us about 5-6 episodes. Despite being involved in the killing of the ML’s brother we spend almost the entire show being forced to feel bad for her (which I still don’t f her) because she has ‘anxiety’ … give me a break. So much anxiety it takes the ML trying to seek revenge for her to finally say something about her bf orchestrating some team of bullies to ‘show scholarship students their place’ which she has been watching happen this whole time. Now the ML has to be the most spineless person in this series which is ironic since he spent the entire series handing out empty threats to the adults for this very reason. Completely ruined the class presidents plans of teaching the SML and FL a lesson for their actions cause he stupidly lets his feelings get in the way (even though this girl was literally a contributing factor for his brothers death). Only when the fml turns him down does he make an effort to carry out SOME revenge. (Which hardly works as none of the actual perpetrators are punished but continue going to school like nothing happened). Whole show is pretty much centred around this pathetic love triangle and sad girl FML instead of getting to the bottom of what happened to ML’s brother.
Also a random predator plotline which really holds no actual significance apart from in the last ep much like the explanation on the death of the twin brother. This show is just an aesthetically pleasing waste of time, if you are considering this thinking you’re getting sky castle or penthouse s1 kind of goodness, think again.
