Trash Parents, Broken Boys and a Fight for Justice - What a Ride!!
This drama is yet another entry in south korea’s growing list of school bullying revenge stories but what a wild, gripping and emotionally charged ride it was. Even though the theme is familiar, it pulled me in completely. South korea keeps churning out these revenge dramas and i keep devouring them with so much love.
I liked this one just as much as Weak Hero Class 1 and Study Group and in some ways, i think it was even better.
Kim Ui Gyeom’s father was one of the worst parents i have ever seen in a kdrama. He lost one son because of the extreme pressure he put on him yet he went on to repeat the same toxic cycle with his other son. His character remained consistently despicable until the end and it pushed my frustration to its limit.
The backstories of both male leads, Kim Ui Gyeom and Kang Yoongi were done really well. Their pain, rage and emotional scars were portrayed with raw intensity. I especially loved how Ui Gyeom’s psychological trauma, shaped by his family was visually represented in such a haunting, artistic way. His inner turmoil and bottled up frustration were executed brilliantly.
The action scenes were also amazing. I found myself clenching my teeth without even realizing it as if i were fighting too. Thats how much i was into it. Watching it was truly exciting.
The final scene clearly hinted at a S2 and im absolutely here for it.
