Bullies got hands—and our quiet king brought a textbook to a fistfight
A Raw, Relentless High School Survival Tale That Punches You in the Soul
✨ THE GOOD:
Park Ji-hoon = revelation – The soft-faced genius with rage issues? Unforgettable. The stare alone should’ve won awards.
Violence with weight – Brutal, grounded fights. No flashy stunts—just pain, concrete, and broken pride.
Brotherhood feels – The trio? Pure magic. Ride-or-die loyalty wrapped in trauma and bandages.
8 episodes, zero filler – Tight, impactful, and as clean as Yeon Si-eun’s buttoned-up uniform.
💢 THE “I’M IN PAIN AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO” MOMENTS:
Mentally exhausting – Not just fists—this show emotionally wears you down like a midterm you didn’t study for.
Trauma layering – Everyone’s got baggage and no one’s catching a break.
You will break before the characters do – And that finale? Yeah, it’s emotional violence.
🧠 THE “NERD WITH A DEATH WISH” FACTOR:
Si-eun weaponizes brains like Batman with trauma and a schoolbag.
Strategy + spite = elite violence.
Honestly, this man made studying look terrifying.
🎯 VERDICT:
"Like being thrown into a locker and realizing the quiet kid runs the school now."
Watch if: You love tightly written underdog stories, intelligent revenge, and teen angst with fists.
Skip if: You’re not ready for bleak vibes, mental scars, or high school as an actual warzone.
Best paired with: 🩹 An ice pack, your best friend, and a deep breath before every episode.
