Finished the first 4 eps....it's not bad, but if you didn't watch it you wouldn't be missing anything, a guy went…
I haven't jumped into watching this yet, and I will still give it a try but your assessment doesn't surprise me. I enjoy a well-produced/acted/directed show about school bullying, but the emphasis is on "well-produced" and there aren't a lot of those.
I get particularly annoyed with shows portraying schools as unsupervised war zones as you described, where there is never a teacher/admin/janitor in sight, and the bullies have like half an hour in classrooms to beat the s**t out of some poor, defenseless dweeb. Also, kids get slugged 40 times in the face and in the next scene have one black eye, a bruise on a cheek, maybe a cut in the corner of the mouth, but that's it. And of course, no teachers investigate what happened to him. These are the shows I roll my eyes at and drop.
There is a great, Korean high school bullying film called "Night Flight," the best I've seen. It is all over the web. Let me know if you need a link.
Hey Lily Alice! As someone who has strongly criticized you for helping to malign and slander artists by repeating unverified accusations from psycho netizens and thus, being a part of the brutal Korean Celebrity Suicide Machine., let me be the first to praise you here for covering the story WITHOUT repeating whatever trash they are throwing at this young man.
THIS is how you do it. Well done! Bravo to Fantagio as well.
sigh...you completely ignore what we were shown near the beginning of this flick...the colonel is having serious…
Oh look, Gory is back, all "pressed" and obsessing over me and my comments.
"Stop taking everything so seriously," says the person who has left four very serious comments attacking me. I'm looking forward to number five.
Bottom line: I don't care what you think. I will continue to write comments however I choose and to whomever I want, sans your obsession with dates (incidentally, how "old" does a comment need to be before it is too "old" to respond to? That seems important to know.) The fact that annoys you is icing on the cake. Your schoolmarm scolding amuses me.
Are there any other Internet cliche terms you'd like to toss around?
sigh...you completely ignore what we were shown near the beginning of this flick...the colonel is having serious…
Thanks for the amusing rant, gory. You are correct: I am always right. I love that you "obsessively" dissected this thread, searching to see who I engaged. As you would know if YOU had any reading comprehension skills, I meant the thread-within-a-thread you jumped into. Sorry for not explicitly explaining.
I will engage however many people I choose to engage; I don't care how old comments are. No one is forcing anyone to respond to a reply if they choose not to, regardless of how "old" their original comment is. Furthermore, I don't check dates on comments because I don't care how old they are. That's your thing.
I will bother with one last issue, the word "literally." It is the most overused word on the Internet, and it is almost always used incorrectly as an imaginary intensifier, as in your case. This, child, is why I mocked you for using it.
Lol, what a wild take. If he really did do what he is accused of & gets convicted, then he deserves no support.
For all I know you're a liar, and no celebrity has been within ten miles of you.
I don't know KK. I don't know you either. But I do know there are millions of psychos online projecting their issues onto celebrities. You're just one more. You might even say you have an "unhealthy para-social relationship" with Kamimura Kenshin.
You claim you got screwed over and no one paid for it, so you want KK to be punished instead. Sure, yeah...that's rational. Your unhinged rant reminds me of what he's up against and intensifies my support for him.
I'm a Jo Jung Suk fan, and this is mostly his film. I was with him all the way, loving his performance, but there was a lot of over-the-top scenery chewing in the last quarter of the film. I wish the director had pulled him back a bit. At that point, I began to feel he was going for an Oscar more than playing the character.
Lee Sun Kyun is almost a supporting role here, but as he always does, he brings charisma, gravitas, and subtlety to every scene.
Still haven't found a place to watch this in the U.S.

Do you believe that politicians spreading stories like this to draw attention from their own "scandals" is a real…
Thank you! I did follow the news closely when the martial law thing was happening a few months back, and I remember something about the president's wife being a scammer, but didn't look into it. Thanks for the link.
What happens if its true? Should they remain silent because they are a celebrity?
Bravo. The question is, would your average "salary man" in Korea be driven from his/her job because they bullied someone in grade school? And the most insidious part of all this is the lunatic idea that someone mean to someone else in grade school or middle school should bear punishment for that for the rest of their lives.
I was never bully-targeted, but I saw classmates who were, and I despised those who did the bullying. But people grow up and change; what happens in grade school or middle school should not define you for life. And if that person has matured into an adult bully, that characteristic will manifest itself in their professional life and catch up with them sooner or later.
So many Generation X and Z people are what was once known as whiny-ass titty babies; people so faux-moralistic and hyper-sensitive, that it's scary.
We want Lily Alice out and reader-contributed articles back. But I already know that neither the Doo Lally Lily…
I'm one hundred percent with you on this. This Lily Alice person is relentless with these "scandal"-mongering articles that accomplish nothing other than spreading unverified rumors and accusations. ANYONE on the planet could have put up that bullying post, but our Lily, yeah she goes right ahead with her juicy attack article.
I strongly suspect Lily Alice to be Korean. The mindset that destroys celebrities with these weird, pseudo-religious ideas that people who commit the crime of being human are deserving of cancellation and life-long penance, seems most deeply ingrained in Korean culture. And now, people like our Lily will forever think and write of this actress as "Go Min Si, once accused of school bullying..." whether it's all proven to be BS or not.
Furthermore, the idea that an adult should be driven from their career because they bullied someone in grade school is insane. I remember after I first became and Asian cinema/bl fan, encountering stories like this and thinking "what the hell is this? Is this a parody?" But of course, as I learned more and more about Korea's Celebrity Suicide Machine and its long history (about 25 years), it became apparent this is standard behavior for moral compass-free people like dear Lily.
What an embarrassing disappointment. Sentimental, hilariously over-the-top melodrama that sadly, is not quite bad enough to be good-bad. It's just plain old bad-bad. Three different times, I thought the film was about to turn dark, twisted, and delicious. Three different times I was disappointed.
Anyone who watches this film and comes away feeling that infidelity has been romanticized and made to look like a tempting option, is a moron.
The weak, grasping, clingy, flailing, and desperate Japanese female lead stereotype raises her head once again in this mess, and the further along we got, the more I wanted to smack her and yell "snap out of it, beeyatch!" I much prefer Korean/Taiwanese/Hong Konger fem fatales who tend to have actual spines.
I was going to give it a 5/10, but then the ending happened, and now it's a 2/10. Not even the walking hunk of hotness that is Saitoh Takumi can save this turd.

It's a good film, but not great.
