Pulling a Shinji in the early episodes: either end up in jail or lose your girlfriend for good, guaranteed. And honestly, my ex dumped me over something way sillier than the heavy harassment stuff going on here. Don’t call it ‘healing’ — it just drags, slow and boring.
in the 2nd photo I spotted Seo In‑ah lol <3. But seriously, why does it feel like FL visuals downgrade every year? They used to be on another level T_T
🎭 Why this show Works for me - No depressive drag → It never wallows in misery. - Fast pacing → Only 12 eps, so no filler arcs. - Character‑driven humor → The comedy comes from personalities clashing, not just slapstick. I genuinely have lots of fun out of this, the casts are lovely all the way thru.
kdrama does really good job at making us watch characters cry or join them crying... they should just add thriller suspense stressful frustrating to the tags instead of comedy
why Kdrama always make it stressful and depressing to watch, even in romcom sitcom... i like some of the moments here and want to binge watch it but just cant swallow it whole T_T
This one is secured in my Plan to Watch. Here’s Copilot’s benchmark based on my preferences: Strengths Tight pacing: 10 episodes, no filler. Sharp social allegory: The pyramid mirrors real‑world hierarchies (school, work, politics). Psychological battles: More about manipulation, alliances, and strategy than just physical bullying. Debut standouts: Jang Da‑ah (villain) and Shin Seul‑ki impressed viewers despite being rookies. OST: Tracks like Higher and In the Dark got a lot of praise for atmosphere.
Weaknesses Heavy themes: Intense bullying, stalking, and violence — not light viewing. Logic gaps: Some viewers found it unrealistic that parents/teachers had so little control. Ending: Different from the webtoon; some loved the twist, others felt it lost steam.
Lost interest very quickly. Very small, narrow, and limited filming topic that became repetitive. Struggled to finish… 3/10 P/S: this kind of show i move on to shortened bot reader on youtube, only 105mins playing at 1.75x cost me only 60mins instead of 19H heheh. Still take all what they need to says and move on to the next hoping to find a show i can watch properly.
they tried to make every criminal psycho and let cat play with its preys for hours before sending them to hell. dropped, even with fast forward and 2X speed isn't enough. 1/10
