After School Doctor Episode 4

School outing

One of the 6th graders is a quiet girl that feels like an outsider. She has behavioral issues and when she gets overly upset she gets in a destructive mode that can get turned in items or even her person. After destroying a decoration the boy who caught her in the act is blamed for doing it. He is usually the impulsive troublemaker that finds everything not supposed to do to be exciting. He revealed something sad when he said he used that to keep the hurt away. So while he reacts differently, both of these children are acquainted with great pain. The school has an on site camping trip,for the students and she is fearful that the boy will tell on her and pushes him in a river. He is the first to notice that something else is going on and tries to help her find a different way to ease her anger. This gets both of them in trouble but also develops a budding friendship between them. When she gets home from the trip she finds her mom’s clothes gone and her dad has no clue when she will be back. Dr Mikano is the first to discover that the girl cuts when upset so when she doesn’t show up to school he goes to her house to be sure she’s ok. She doesn’t let him in but he stays close trying to get her to tell him her story. The child actors are phenomenal in this drama. They are totally believable in whatever scenario they are in. For as annoying as the doctor is supposed to be, I find the well meaning teacher the most aggravating. I want to cover my ears like Mikano does. 😂 I don’t fast forward because every once in a while she has a valid point. She just needs to be more succinct. 😝
