I'm Speechless! What was the hell is that?
In short: Anyone who can cope with brutal violence, should watch this series immediately, don't wait even a second!!!In long: I came just as I finished the series and I don't even know how to start. I might make a typo, sorry in advance.
First of all, I want all the applause to go to Park Jihoon and Choi Hyun Wook. they deserve such a big round of applause... they were both the most talented young actors I've seen lately. They made me hold my breath for 8 episodes and lose my mind while watching the friendship they portrayed with their magnificent acting.
Edit: I just learned that Park Jihoon is an idol and also he has a very cute face card and cute idol persona in real life, i can't believe that he is the same person who plays that Si Eun character in this drama. lol. he is an amazing actor.
Then I want to add the following. first of all, this drama is definitely a heavy drama in terms of display of violence, just like "the king of pigs". So if brutal violence is too much for you, please don't watch it.
The second thing I would like to add is that this series did not actually contain any public service ads. that is, it actually involved real life. It contained everything that could happen in real life. what we are normally told, when bullied go and complain, make sure the authorities will protect you. but no, neither parent, nor teacher, nor police… none of them will try to save you. No one will care about you like no one cares about si eun and soo ho, this drama perfectly portrays the realities of life. be against bullying, a word that can only be spoken in public. From the highest status to the lowest, no one will even care if you are bullied. And that's why this show is never, ever pity. They put the facts before us without hesitation.
In some scenes, I had to stop, give myself some time and continue like that. I won't be able to get over this series that I couldn't get over the same "the king of pigs" (themes are similar).
SPOILER but this is a call to the screenwriters: do not leave si eun alone at another school in the second season and let us watch their happy moments with his friend soo ho, PLEASE!

A Series that Will Never be Erased from Minds
It is one of the best dramas to have happened to the Korean drama industry. Too strong, too realistic, too tragic. It's not a series that anyone can handle but it is one of the most beautiful series that those who love this kind of series should definitely not miss. The series is actually such a heavy series in terms of its subject that I watched it over 4 days but I enjoyed every minute of it. I cried, I laughed, I was sad, I was happy. It's like every single one of them is a living character for me. I feel so sad and happy that I was able to discover this series. I am sad because the weight of this drama will always be somewhere in my heart. Many thanks to the animation screenwriter who adapted this series and to everyone who contributed to this series.P.S.: All soundtracks of at the end of the episodes are masterpieces.
