it's not just yi Heon and se Kyung's friendship that I liked... I also like how they became friends with the 3 girls that sat in front of and next to Yi Heon... so wholesome and cute
Although I see and agree with some of the arguments of having Yi Heon come back to live his lifeβ¦ Iβm sort…
( despite my rant below, I still would have liked Yi Heon to live. )
I'm so glad you pointed this out! The ending really drove home the long-lasting impact of bullying and trauma, didn't it? It's not something that can just be erased or fixed by external changes.
And you're right, we do tend to forget the victim's pain when the bully undergoes a redemption arc. It's like, 'Oh, they've changed, so everything's okay now.' But that's not how it works.
The most frustrating thing is that this happens in real life too, it's not just fictional people we tend to forgive but real life celebrities as well! Especially BL Actors. I have had so many fights with people that just tend to demean a victims trauma after being bullied in school by a famous guy, they always say "it's a long time ago, they've changed now" as if they know the bully in person and are not blinded by their beauty or great PR team π (I just feel like we fail to create a safe space for victims to share their stories without fear of judgement or dismissal π’)
I love how you put it - the memory of trauma isn't something that can just be reset like a happy, functioning normal kid again. It's a process, and a difficult one at that. And I think the show did a great job of showing that.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts - I found your response really interesting
How this drama goes from very low rating to 8.6. Iβm glad I gave it a try despite the rating and itβs the…
the low rating was due to some pple who were mad that the BL was removed, they rated it < 1 without even watching it, the rating then increased when more pple started watching it
jae min killed Yi Heon and the punishment fit that crime. Se kyung was the final nail to that coffin when he refused to save a drowning boy at his last breath but .... he was the only one who noticed when Yi Heon was gone and when an imposter took his place, he was the only one (apart from kdp) who fought to bring Yi Heon back so I forgave him...gosh I think I'll be writing essays until I'm fully over this drama ππππ
I don't understand the hate towards Chen Feiyu. All the negative things said about him are just rumors, except…
this video only made fans believe that there is beef btwn Chen fei Yu and Wang Yibo cause Xiao Zhan seemed very tense when he sat next to him πππ netizens cooked up rumours that it was cause of Yibo,
I don't understand the hate towards Chen Feiyu. All the negative things said about him are just rumors, except…
he wanted to play lan zhan from the untamed but Wang Yibo got the role, he liked some posts on Weibo which were insulting Yibo and ALOT of pple hate him for that... if this aired, it would greatly help with that hate cause we all know the bromance fandom is always ready to forgive if a drama is good enough
the fact that people are even debating whether this or weak hero class 1 is better (on TikTok and X) just proves how Good this drama is... if it wasn't for a certain group of pple this would have easily been a 9.0 drama.
I mean personally weak hero will always be number 1 for me but I'm happy that we think HSROAG is worthy to be compared to such a great drama.
he didn't date any girl in the drama, he told that girl to ask him again in two weeks cause he thought SYH would…
he only said that to convince see kyung to try dating, you can see it, he's still trying to help him in various ways ... maybe if he told him double date then see kyung wouldn't be so opposed to the idea and even if he said double date we don't know the ages of the women he would date, they are in college after all and there are plenty mature women in college
Love that their chemistry felt gayer than some of the genuine k-bls I've seen.
how tho? that's a 47 year old man and a 19 year old boy. how do you manage to delude yourselves into seeing BL? there was clearly pure friendship btwn the two so I'm very confused
Ya'll are a bunch of pathological liars, I just found out that the original web novel actually had pdf filia.…
he didn't date any girl in the drama, he told that girl to ask him again in two weeks cause he thought SYH would be back in his body by then. he wanted to give him the chance to reject or accept her offer himself

my new ranking of Korean high school dramas
1. weak hero class 1
2. High school return of a gangster
3. pyramid game
4. all of us are Dead
I mean personally weak hero will always be number 1 for me but I'm happy that we think HSROAG is worthy to be compared to such a great drama.
a definite WIN ππππ
still love the drama though, and that's cause like you said, he didn't have significant screen time.
There is no pdf filia in the drama.
