The story revolves around Yeong Hee who’s accused of being the main motive of Kyeong Min’s suicide and disappearance, making the whole school betray her by bullying and assaulting her. It also follows Kyeong Min’s mother who also blames Yeong Hee for her daughters death.
The movie touches on many negative subjects associated with high school students such as bullying and suicide.
STORY it was an extremely impactful story, it’s a movie that doesn’t hold back with the truth it gets to the nitty gritty of reality, throughout the movie it shows flashbacks of when Kyeong Min was still alive and shows the friendship between the two, the flashbacks were a key element to understanding the story better and adding significant backstory to the already heart wrenching story line
ACTING Can I just say the acting was phenomenal The actress of Kyeong Min’s mother showed the most prodigious acting in this movie, the amount of emotion displayed in her acting was breathtakingly melancholy, Also despite Yeong Hee’s character being quite an emotionless person the actress was superb at conveying emotions across to the audience.
MUSIC there was not a single piece of music played throughout not even at the ending, that is what I loved about this movie, the silent impact it left it made it seem real, in real life music won’t just overlay a moment, the silence made the atmosphere it didn’t need music to create an atmosphere it was already powerful, it also made it feel extremely realistic.
OVERALL I was really hesitant watching this movie due to the low score but I’m glad I gave it a chance, it isn’t lighthearted at the slightest, it shows real life social problems and people’s lives when they have no hope left,.
