That's sad, and the more you reflect on it, the more it hurts.
That's a good series with an important subject, i really appreciate it, but...
Shin is very lovely, and after seeing what happened it may break everyone's heart, also mine. His suffering was so touching, he really portrayed his feelings after everything in an impactful, very vulnerable way (the actor really did pretty good). After that i was devastated and the only thing i could think and wait for was justice for him, and protection, that was everything i wanted right after, however it didn't go that way.
Shin's father and mother are very insensitive, it really lacked emotions on them. How could they let the rapist go away not knowing what could happen with their son? Not knowing if he could appear again from somewhere. How could they listen to what Shin says after being raped? He was eighteen, only eighteen, and they were adults, meant to protect him. After Shin tried suicide, he woke up, and there were them acting as normal, asking if he needs something again. I couldn't help being frustrated, either they were poorly written characters or they were poorly insensitive parents, which would make sense, as Shin said everything in that house was so boring... When someone is that fragile and isn't able to see life without pain, you, friend or parent, should do the best you can to show other sides of life with actions. Boredom and silence will only help the trauma make the victim's head a playground. It's important to act, cause in that way the victim will feel, biologically, in an undeniable way, protected.
Shin had good friends, but in the same way as his parents they also committed mistakes. After Shin tried suicide, they said that it would be better to be with his parents in that moment... like... what??? It doesn't make any sense. As friends they weren't able to know if Shin's parents would really help him, did they not care enough?
What i mean is... he must have been feeling lonely even with people on his side, and that pisses me off.
The Effect isn't well developed, it had a little number of episodes, and with a subject like that, the lack of development is frustrating.
I know i complain a lot, but it isn't a bad series, it's worth watching. I felt a lot of feelings through this, it left an open sore on me, and that's cool. Actually i came here to complain and unleash what was bothering me.
But it's important to talk about the final, that doesn't make any sense, it doesn't even fit the rest of the drama. It simply doesn't make sense, i prefer to pretend it doesn't even exist anymore.
