I truly enjoyed 'Night Has Come,' and the intense storyline had me captivated throughout. Having also completed…
Zombie dramas: Kingdom, Happiness, Sweet Home Mystery/thrillers: Signal, Stranger, The King of Pigs, White Christmas, Beyond Evil, Strangers from Hell, Flower of Evil
It was fake, but it's still pornography that people spread in the internet, and used it to make fun and sexualize…
Korea has one of the strictest laws for speech than any other democratic nation. This is because it holds the stance that even if there is free speech, citizens must be responsible for what they say. Please do not speak on the subject matter if you are uninformed. I am not giving my opinion about Korea nor its laws. I am providing a fact about Korean speech law.
If you mean she got physically bullied, then there is not a single shred of evidence for this. She did get verbally and digitally harassed, but as I have said, it is not enough for anyone to unalive themselves over.
Most people are irrational, but she was portrayed as a genius Mensan programmer. Supposing she made an error and unalived herself, the backstory in of itself is still not compelling. I do not see her as a tragic victim of oppressive bullying. I see it as a tragedy that could have been overcame and any severe retaliation toward the bullies is unjustified. Deconstruct the logic and the equivalence of this is that publicly shaming someone deserves the death penalty, or worse. Not convincing in the slightest.

Even a teenager, and not just any teen but a Mensan, should be clever enough to know that people's thoughts don't matter, their behavior is immature, and in the absolute worst case, she would have to either move schools or suffer their taunts for 3 years maximum. From what we could see, it did not affect her anywhere else except her school life. It is not as if everyone rejected her either because we do not get to see Yoon-seo or Jun-hee's response because she avoided them. Most likely, her closest friends would continue to support her and her parents would care for her, which is more than enough for what you need of a social circle. People have continued living for a lot less. People are a lot more resilient than that.
In a place especially like Korea, where cyberbullying, even defamation against public figures, is taken more seriously, she could have reached out to the authority or anyone. Yet, she did not. She took the path of least resistance without putting up a single fight. A rational person will leap to unaliving herself as an immediate response to verbal and digital harassment, especially when the damages were so trivial. Essentially, everyone who disliked her continued to dislike her and those who liked her continued to like her; only her nonexistent reputation was tarnished. If you take what is portrayed on the drama very seriously, it should be apparent that this drama's haphazard representation of suicide only trivializes the true victims.
The motivations were not realistic. What kind of idiotic parents punish their daughter's friends? The reason behind…
Desperate or crazy does not mean idiotic. They are programmers, so you would assume they can think rationally even if they wanted revenge. Rewatch episode 12 or any of the previous flashback with Se-eun, and you will see both Yoon-seo and Jun-hee did not know what was going on because Se-eun did not share what she found on the group chat, and she jumped off before she informed them what was going on. Also, the parents can see that Yoon-seo and Jun-hee cared a lot about Se-eun through the games. It does not make sense for the drama to insist their innocence, yet at the same time, the mother could not recognize that. Google: All Just a Dream trope. You will find the article say, "A twist where it is revealed previous events in the story were just part of a character's dream, hallucination or some other escape from reality, often put at the end to reveal the entirety of the story was some sort of dream." Clearly a VR system is just that - an escape from reality - or in other words, a variation of the All Just a Dream trope.
