I especially hate men who abuse women and really anyone abusing any defenseless person woman or man or even animal what does this movie. contribute to stop that？
Not much of a story here but、 very sweet portrait of love with plenty of physicality（ at least above the waist） as Taiwan is ahead of most countries in LGBTQ+ 💖🌈
interesting but finally deeply unpleasant and depressing melodrama about just how low human beings can sink。 literally every character in this movie with a speaking role (apart from the boy's father) was a psycho、 from the three main characters to Park's original slob boyfriend、 the supervisor blackmailing teachers about tenure and the teacher Park filled in for。
Is there some dramatic rationale for splitting a show into 50 x 2 minute episodes rather than for example 5 x 20 minute episodes ？or is this specially for us with 2 minute attention spans？
this drama has its good points if you can see beyond the fashions and expressions of 40 years ago but while for koreans probably it is nostalgic、 for non koreans it is maybe just dated。 for me it went on too long and became difficult to finish。 frankly Shi Won's character was so awful and embarrassing it became tough to watch closely followed by her father Seong Dong [at least they got the genetic relation right]。 she's the type you want to arrange the divorce papers before the marriage、 as for the marriage how could it survive the permanent war zone and the child would need child rescue service。Yun Je should have grabbed Jun Hee while he had the chance (!） I like korean humor but not when it degenerates just into constant shouting and name calling and the level of flatulence。it is too easy to stereotype koreans as all extrovert loud and jokey in a rough way but with hearts of gold but this is no doubt a function of the soap drama genre which is really what this one evolved into。 flashback has its place in drama and I understand here it was part of putting lives in context looking back but、 when it becomes so repeated and intrusive it breaks the dramatic continuity in a big way and just causes confusion〜 not one for re-watch though with some interest。 it was good they ventured a LGBT mini sub plot but the way it was treated was very dated。
when I watched episode 1 of this drama I wondered、 is it meant as a comedy because the eye effect on eating the cookie is hilarious。 this drama is addictive www watch no doubt but the problem for me is the constantly shifting relationships between characters like a kaleidoscope combined with reliance on flashback and flash forward to unravel the plot and explain these shifts in characters as collaborators one minute and enemies the next。 some may see this as original script writing but I wonder as the story risks losing credibility。it is not a spoiler I think to comment if someone stabs you in the back and takes advantage of your weakness one minute why will you embrace them the next？ even on a chessboard the pieces on the two sides remain black and white。on the plus side it develops some nice ironies。 for me the ending was weak、 especially regarding the male leads、 and rather unclear。 maybe they want to leave it open for a sequel though I am not convinced it justifies one。
it keeps you engaged with the fascination of evil。 but the big flaw here was the final episode： a whole drama is based on an evil gang of malignant narcissist bullies (all the worse for being student age) and then trying to give them a human face in the final episode、 with the worst offenders Woo Jin benefiting from a cover up、 the sinister Ri An transformed into a romantic prince and the truly obnoxious He Ra rescued from a family bankruptcy and suffering the well deserved humiliations of poverty、 while the adults responsible for their birth continue on their sociopathic paths。 meanwhile Jae-I is too good to be true、 finally being transformed into a madonna-like figure of self abnegation and altruism。I admit I don't get the final scene： who was killed and why? maybe revenge on Park Tae Ho (principal's son?) with this and the new principal it seems things are left open for a sequel maybe？
very good drama passed the must watch test but for me could have been completed as a romance and school story in fewer episodes and adding in the thriller part was a mistake
why is it K dramas always have to pitch every angle to keep the drama and audience going for 16 episodes so here they have a romance and school drama but have to focus on thriller action in the last few episodes yes it added excitement but was predictable and I did not need it to keep watching and it did not feel right to twist Ji Dong Hui's character into an unsympathetic psycho serial killer even if they tried to explain why through a back story
what does this movie. contribute to stop that？
unoriginal tropes nasty and with no redeeming features except Yeri
moving conclusion.
