A beautiful journey of friendships, trauma, school violence & result of bad parenting styles

I picked this drama up because I was intrigued by the story but I stayed for the characters and most importantly the phenomenal acting by the three young men.

I cannot recommend this drama enough to everyone. The production and the acting is off the charts. The three boys gave it all their power into the acting. They brought the characters to life from a paper script.

Characters
The three main characters are Yeon Si Eun, Ahn Soo Ho and Oh Beum Sok. Ahn Soo Ho is a straightforward person and likes to live life freely on his own terms. He is a very hardworking person too and is able to get by from his jobs. He is very physically strong. He is also a strong personality and is street smart. He is unhinged and lives life on the edge. A little reckless to a fault. Yeon Si Eun oh my god where do I begin. He is very introverted and quiet. He is very book smart and is academically gifted. In the begining you will only seem him studying a lot in his class. Although smart, he is also reckless. Ahn Soo Ho brought all the emotions out of Si Eun. He made him smile for the first time and he made him cry for the first time. Yeon Si Eun is able to see what lies underneath people and sees Ahn Soo Ho for the caring person he is. Now coming to Oh Beum Sok. I also do not know where to begin with him. He is a very kind and loving person or could have been if it were not for the deep negativity he harbors within him win. I cannot go further into his character because it would become a spoiler.

Story & Production
The story is about three friends who go through fighting bullies at their school. The first half of the story is about the healthy relationship friendship bond the three make. The second half is about how loneliness and the darkness of our traumas can take over and ruin our lives and healthy relationships. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy that dooms us all and burns everything and everyone around us in the cross fire. The action and thrill you get from watching this story is like no other. It kept me intrigued through every minute of the show. It was exceptional story that kept me hooked. As for the production, the music and direction gave me goosebumps at times. And pulled me into the world of these three boys.

I gave it a slightly low rewatch value because if you watch the scenes again you might get triggered from the violence.
