wtf was this show
The concept of this drama is intriguing, but I just couldn’t get past the borderline pedophilia plotlines.
One storyline involves a female student in a relationship with a teacher. This could have been a chance to explore the serious power dynamics between student and teacher and show the real consequences—but the show barely scratches the surface. The teacher simply gets fired, and that’s it. There’s no real depiction of the emotional harm or impact on the student, which feels like a huge missed opportunity.
Another storyline involves a male student who is openly in love with the school counselor. Any adult in a position of authority should immediately shut down such advances to protect the child. But the counselor doesn’t. She entertains his feelings, never sets clear boundaries, and by the end, it’s even implied they might get together. Honestly, this is disturbing and completely mishandled.
The show could have tackled these issues thoughtfully, but instead, it glosses over them in ways that are uncomfortable and unacceptable.
