Good story, poor writing

The story is good.
But…
Hear me out…

The writer did a good job to tell about the severe criminal and violent school bullying (actually more torture then bullying imo) in Asia, especially in Korea.
But what was unnecessary and made this drama bad were the unnecessary n-dity scenes 🛁 🧖‍♀️.
They put it in the drama just to “catch” western watchers?!.
That ruined it.
I’ve seen some better drama’s telling about this issue, without any unnecessary scenes.

The writer could’ve focused more on the cultural view and social issues in Korea. And the messed up justice system.
How violence under the young citizens goes often unpunished. Because of age and influence.
Telling about that they just can skip the army by sitting in prison for a few months or a year or so or doing some community service as punishment…

What catcher my eye and was interesting, she put the cases together in one catching story: the hot iron, beating up in the ally, the women who worked at the same school as the child of her school bully and some more.
Also how the MC put all webs 🕸️ together to figure out how everything was connected to each other and discovered everyone’s secrets was a work of art in writing.

They could’ve actually made it a longer serie like in the old days, the splitting in two made the waiting unnecessary long for the viewers.

But the ending of this plot was…
Meh. (To be continued)
