This drama is a metaphor for the current rivalry between young people in Korea… nah, just kidding. It’s a great no-brainer action-comedy youth drama. Not much of a thriller, though, since the main character is a total Mary Sue when it comes to fighting - and that’s pretty much what the whole show is about: fighting, friendship and humor.
My generation had to trek through mountains and blizzards just to get to school. We had some fights, sure, but nothing this spectacular. I guess the current generation has to punch holes in walls just to survive 😉
It's a very artistic yet boring watch. Honest to the folk tale.Question: The FL was 17 when the film was released,…
Thanks for this comment. I'm going to skip this movie. It seems to contain content that could be considered child exploitation.
Also on English Wikipedia I found this: "The bed scene between Chunhyang and Mongryong took two days to film because Cho Seung-woo and Hyo-jeong Lee, who had no experience at all, were shy. The two of them didn't know there was a love scene until they started filming, and they were scared, and director Im Kwon-taek gave them homework to come after seeing 'Yellow Hair'."
"The two of them didn't know there was a love scene until they started filming"... WTF?!
This movie kept me hooked from start to finish. It paints a striking picture of a corrupt state. The story is simple but executed brilliantly. Jaclyn Jose’s performance was outstanding.
It was pretty good until episode 8, but the last two episodes were quite boring, and the ending felt flat and unsatisfying.
This story had so much potential, but it seems like the writer either hesitated or was forced to avoid deeper, more difficult topics to keep it easy to digest.
In the end, I liked the second couple more than the main one - even though I originally started watching this drama for Park Bo Young.
