A hard look on social media wrapped in 5 episodes

Surprised by the low ratings. I’m not sure if it may be because of the English subs, because I didn’t watch this with subs. The reason I think the subs may be the culprit is because many international viewers seem to be confused by the ending.

This drama’s message is about the negative effects of social media and how people’s words can hurt an innocent person. The story kicks off after the suicide of a cheerful and kind girl, Best. A compromising clip of her is leaked, and social media does what they do best -- Condemn the girl in the clip they hardly know while the guy gets to brag.

Devastated by Best’s suicide, Q sets forward on a path for revenge against all the perpetrators who were involved. Because social media tormented Best, why not use social media to torment her perpetrators? Q sets up a page and one by one, offers up each perpetrator to the masses to let them vote on whose deepest secret gets exposed.

Q is quiet and is the loner type. Best is the only person to have ever reached out to him and treat him with kindness. Q has his own story that isn’t revealed until the very end. And once you find out, you’ll realize why Best’s suicide had such a huge impact on him.

The story is well done for the 5 episodes it had. The short length helps the creators focus on what needs to be told and not drag things out typical of a full length drama. The ending is probably one of the best parts of the story, because it really does come full circle from the beginning with the message it wants to tell viewers. If anything else, it should make you think about how you use social media and the words you’re about to comment.
