Sweet Sixteen (2024)

This Drama Needs Strong Trigger Warnings for Suicide and Sexual Assault

**This is just my opinion. I truly appreciate all of the hard work and dedication that went into the making of this drama. Thank you.**

Mentioning an assault in the plot summary for this drama is not sufficient. There should be very clear warnings about the content of this drama so that it doesn't trigger people. We aren't shown each moment while it's happening, but they show us the moments leading up to it, the aftermath, the depression and how the perpetrator torments her into wanting to take her own life. I would argue that those scenes can be just as triggering as watching one of a more detailed assault. If you have ever been sexually assaulted, struggled with suicide or had anyone close to you who has, you really should steer clear of this drama.

As for the actual review... To me, whatever romance or deeper story was meant to be going on was completely overshadowed by how dark they decided to go. I thought most of the actors did a good job but really hated the story and the writing. The music was pretty good from what I remember. Not a very good review, I know. I just wanted to warn people about the content. I don't know why it was called Sweet 16. There wasn't anything sweet about it. Even the "love" that the main characters had for each other felt wrong to me by the end.
