I not gonna wipe up!!!
🔸️I've just found a gem in the trash mini drama genre. It's so ridiculous that it's fun. At the beginning your brain is unsettled by the disastrous behavior of the characters but then you gradually accept the rules and play by them. I can even tell this drama is secretly gay because of the intense gay scene in the 2nd episode hehehe...
🔸️What captivates me here is the unusual story of the bullies and their victim. The victim is not written from the position of the weak but from the position of an average-confidence person who actively seeks for the way out.
🔸️The exploration of friendship is pretty decent here. People from the same criminal background are gathered in one high school but they act differently, e.g. TaeSan who "never beats anyone up with no reason" on the contrary to the red haired guy who lies in wait for the person to be in the most vulnerable position to attack him. Some only need money to communicate, some need understanding.
🔸️The actors... Oh, well. Kwak DongYeon pulls it off very well as usual even though this is one of his very first roles. The cast of the hooligans falls into the scope of the uncanny valley effect when they try to play comedy, but still it's so silly that it's fun itself. The Teddy Bear guy is damn awesome.
🔸️The love line of the teachers is absolutely pathetic, predictable, boring, and unnecessary. It weighs literally zero bytes of new information. The ending slipped a lot. We never got a single focus on the relationship between those three but there is suddenly a kiss. (But I tend to think he's secretly a gay) The new challenge for TaeSan is stated right at the end. It feels like they were going to make a hook for the season two which will never be there.
🔸️I don't get it, what kind of high school is it. Why there are 28 yo bearded students, why do they study together with teenagers, what about girls, and why do they do anything but studying there? Those contact-free battles were enough.
My first reaction to this drama was to cut it out, but I actually noticed the originality the creators tried to bring into the drama. I appreciate it.
