School violence, bad distant parents, broken families, nuclear families and abandoned lost kids without any positive adult guidance is a problem, globally, and it is good that some art tries to call attention to children's and teenagers' and young adults' needs, .....
But... with all due respect.. there is a flood of fight dramas now and such "art" will not solve the problem but make it worse.... it promotes fighting as "fun" and promotes solving violence by applying violence.

Esp the ML in this drama gets addicted to fighting and thinks he is a great person fighting against bad ppl, but in reality, he goes bananas and sooner or later will cause an accident and kill or injure someone. He is an abused kid who vents out all his anger by fighting and beating up other people.

THE SAME OLD SAME OLD.... the root cause of all problems, advertised as the solution.

THE GANGSTA BOYS SEE FIGHTING AS GOOD and try to be the top dog in the violent world.... THEY SEE NO OTHER WAY TO EXIST.
Of course nasty ppl are like that... but also... kids who are gray area and who get beaten to serve the gang lords... AND the entire school is like that.... AND PARENTS .... AND ADULTS ....

The root question is: Why did so many "gray area" kids and even "good" kids turn out like that too.... ? and what is the proper way to solve this?
WHY would anyone organize into these gangs where they get entertained by beating others up... ? WHY would some stupid moron enjoy looking ah so grand by dolling it over others and harming them, "entertaining" others who are trying to kiss the ass of the lead bully... ? WHAT IS ENTERTAINING, OR USEFUL IN THIS KIND OF BEHAVIORS.... ? they are all mentally ill.

THEY ARE ALL MENTALLY ILL.... and then we get to watch them on tv

WHY SHOULD WE WATCH MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE SMASHING THINGS AND PEOPLE?
IS IT ENJOYABLE TO BE WATCHING A PSYCH WARD?????
no it isnt...

This drama has slightly better portrayal of the problems than most in this new flood of fight dramas, and it is good that the ML is not DEAD inside and does think of himself highly enough to deserve to exist .....

but he then ENJOYS fighting as "fun" and the drama is essentially the same thing or even worse than Study Group or Weak Hero seasons 1 and 2...

The same environment: All male school, and lots of fighting, enabled by boys not standing up for each other and by parents and teachers who do NOT care.
The same plot: a very shy boy who becomes a fighter and uses violence to solve the school violence problems.
The same approach - cartoon-like fights where MAGICALLY NOBODY EVER GETS REALLY HURT although they fight and there is blood all over, and they kick into all internal organs and ribs and bones..... All of them should have lost teeth, facial bones, cranial bones, brain damage, rib damage, kidney, spleen, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestinal etc damage and should have ended up as Mr. Plankton... but all that is conveniently swept under the rug, glorifying hitting and kicking each other ANYWHERE

The same pathetic tunnelvision reactive crude script - NO communication, NO talking things trough, NO big vision solutions, .... Basically, the script is mostly meaningless and shallow

The same pathetic tunnelvision characters - very closed off, emotionally supressed, dead ppl , who get SOME emotion when they fight

The same idea - that violence is only solved by violence

THE SAME GROSS VIEW OF MALE - DOMINATED ENVIRONMENT -
THE BULLIES BEAT UP VARIOUS BOYS AND **** NO OTHER BOY STEPS IN TO DEFEND THE VICTIM ***** and the parents and teachers could care less.

In short... this type of kdrama is great for perverts, for those who love sex and violence and love to watch pretty boys drenched in blood and bleading and breathing heavily
And this type of drama is great for psychopaths, who love seeing how others get hurt

In short, this type of drama is getting boys ready to enter French Foreign League, or gangsters, or some kind of assassin special forces.
Or at least to become crude brutal dumb corrupt policeman and fight violence with more violence.

In short - this type of drama is a strong advocacy and advertisement for feminism, for a female-dominated environment where things would be solved with kindness and talking things through.
Well not the kind of woman "The Glory" is about LOL she is no better than these... she orchestrated murder on several people. Yeah they deserved it but removing them was done ... in a very gross way.
The Glory contributed positively by showing that women are no less bullies than men, and that the sex partnership between male and female bullies creates even more chaos and suffering and damage

The pluses in comparison between this drama with other dramas of this type:
This one shows more of WHAT THE PARENTS ARE LIKE who created kids like these - we see the bullying that father does to the son, and his medication-addicted useless mother; AND WE SEE HOW THE KID TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE . So that is better. THat really helps to understand bullying. Kids never do it just because. They come from homes that create this disorder.

This one unfortunately tries to put together violence and sex - there is the starting video where we see all bloody face of the kid and he is breathing deeply as he listens to music, so it is behavior seen at sexual activity coupled with bloody violence look. Very pervert ready

So imo this is the "Hollywood type" of drama that Netflix and Disney are trying to put on, to essentially make american moves with korean actors and then sell it in the West where the audience IS conditioned to be perverts, they are all so conditioned to watch MOSTLY sex and violence in their entertainment, without ANY meaningful content.

I think this is abuse of kdrama reputation and an artistic fall of kdramas
FOR THE SAKE OF MONEY, getting americans to pay to watch this
And I also think for the sake of runing korean culture and families

bc if S Korea keeps making dramas like these, kdrama reputation will go down AND they will lose their culture
all for the sake of grabbing a few $$$$$$ by making dramas similar to what americans already watch

this type of "art" is really a clever cultural colonization move, counting and enhancing the most vile, the most low, the most primitive impulses in the audience, conditioning the audience to be MEANINGLESS
The script that is shocking, gross, distracting, scandalous, "catchy" bc it is so grossly disgusting.... the meaningless script that DUMBS DOWN THE AUDIENCE

so yeah welcome to america where school shootings are a normal thing and all kids have to practice shooting drills, and where parents are totally absent. It is a miracle if a family has a father at home. THERE ARE PRACTICALLT NO FATHERS LIVING AT HOME IN THE USA. Black ppl are 99% without a father at home, white kids maybe 80% have no father at home and probably 99% in big cities, so only fathers at home are Mexicans, Arabs, Asians and other RECENT immigrants

Also, in the USA, there is a huge epidemic of drug use and everyone uses drugs, from sleeping pills, painkillers, legal pot, all the way to cocaine, crystal meth, extasy, and who knows what else, you just see huge billboards in all big cities about drug epidemic AND ALSO syphilis, Hep C, and AIDS epidemics.

Kdramas do not talk about that bc it is NOT YET prevalent in their culture but ... if they keepmaking and watching this kind of "entertainment" that is where S Korea is going .... there is no other way...

If you want solutions, you would not support this type of art, because this does NOT show the solution, only the demise

SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE KDRAMAS ABOUT REAL SOLUTIONS TO SCHOOL VIOLENCE AND BULLYING
