"Never Again" - How does it really happen?

How the cycle of bullying ends? Is it by putting the bully in his place? Or is it when school policies against bullying are flaunted around the campus? How does it stop?

To be honest, as the credits began to show as I watched this drama special, I wanted to see more. I wanted to see how things turned out. But later on, I realized: the final scene is a call to action. If you want to see how it ends, do it yourself.

STORY
Dramas focused on school bullying is always relevant in our times. But this drama presented bullying in all its forms and consequences not simply among the students but also within the school system. It was showcased so excellently and adequately, I actually got absorbed in the story the ending felt to suspenseful.

ACTING
While all the actors portrayed their roles very well, the ones who stood out for me are the actors who played Eun Seo and Hee Jin. They both helped the actor who played the main role (Jin Woo) shine.

RECOMMENDATION
If you liked the drama "Black Dog," you'll also appreciate this one. While the actors in this drama special are not that well-known (so I cannot exactly say, "this is a good watch if you're a fan of..."), it's still well worth the attention because of the story.
