A surprisingly good revenge story

I really didn't expect to like this one but here I am!

I'll be honest, the horror/gore genre is not really my thing so when it started with a masked killer on the loose à la Scream and some deaths, I wasn't really into it but I continue watching because the story seemed interesting enough - and I was right!

We quickly discover that most of the main characters from the start are all a**holes and we root for the two guys that want revenge (or at least, one more than the other). I was hopeful that White was part of the plan but unfortunately, he wasn't and ended up dead when he was the most innocent one of them all (what a shame...). I've read that some people didn't like what New was doing but I was rooting for him all the way. Okay, he didn't have to kill them all but it was actually very satisfying to watch them suffer (pardon my sadomasochism). As for Phee, I really liked him until he fell for Jin which was - I think - a betrayal on New's revenge. Does he deserve what happens to him? I don't think so but I would have it liked better if he was totally on New's side and not spilling the beans as soon as he's alone with Jin...

Concerning the a**holes (that's how I'm going to refer to them), none of them deserved mercy. Top was one of the worst because he was the cause of all Non's problems as he was the one breaking the camera (just because of his ego) and being the coward he is, he couldn't come clean to Por and had to find a scapegoat.
Tee is not too close on the scale of being an a**holes as he is the one that led Non into his trap and used him for his uncle's benefits. And even though, they tried to bring sympathy for him by telling his backstory, I couldn't forgive him for what he did to Non - he is still the main reason why Non dies in the first place as he is the one who drugged him and brought him up to his uncle (while knowing perfectly the consequences of his actions - he can't convince me otherwise).
Por is at the top with Top and Tee. The three of them were the ones buliiying Non the most by calling him Greasy and treating him like he was nothing. He used him to his own advantage and I don't care that it was because he wanted the acknowledgement of his father. He's just a rich kid with rich problems and I couldn't care less about him.
People won't probably agree with me but, to me, Fluke is the worst of them all. Yes, he did nothing but that's the whole problem. He is as guilty as the others and the fact that he wanted to be a doctor is even worse! Because how can you want to be someone that helps people when you're part of a bully group. That's just hypocrisy. Also, the looks he gave Non was not pity at all (unlike Jin). So he didn't even regret seing all those things and doing nothing. He just let it happen and he's the biggest a**holes in my opinion. Especially when he's the one that probably killed Por just because he was about to talk a little - I know Por was gonna die anyway but he literally shook him when he had a stake in his stomach just to shut him up. He also took the gun from White and pointed it at him when he had absolutely no reason to act this way. He's the worst.
At last, Jin... I kind of liked him at the beginning as he was the only one nice to Non and he genuinely seemed to like him. BUT! Who stays friends with the bullies of their crush? That's the question that I was asking myself the whole time because, I'm sorry but, why did he stay friends with those a**holes when he witnessed how they were bullying Non - whom he was supposed to like!!! He witnessed the whole thing and did nothing! Also, he made Non's life worse after recording that video just because he was mad that what? Non didn't like him back? Anyway, they tried to make him a good guy in the drama by shipping him with Phee but this couple didn't work for me after the whole Non's bullying backstory.

I would finish by saying that Non is no angel either. I was really rooting for him at the beginning as he was bullied and used by those a**holes but... the fact that he cheated on Phee - who was the only was that was loving him for who he was and wanted to help him - I couldn't be on his side anymore. Also, he continued being used by his bullies even though he knew they didn't consider him as a friend and I couldn't understand why he stayed with them when he could've changed school and be with Phee.

To conclude on that, I really liked this drama and I recommend it to anymore who likes revenge stories. I am also glad to see Barcode and Ta in another series after KinnPorshe. I already liked Ta as Macau but I didn't quite like Barcode as Porschay. In this series, however, he really shines and shows that he can play other roles than the innocent boy who falls in love with the bad guy (calm down, I know Kim wasn't a bad guy).

Oh, and I almost forgot: I love the ending. I know a lot of people don't like it but I thought it was very surprising. I also want to know the truth about all of that but it's good that it keeps its mystery.
