acting and action scenes on point!
{It only took one clip to convince me to watch this and I was not at all disappointed! Give one of the best series of 2022 a watch!}
THE STORY - I like to watch underdog stories from time to time, and this one was no doubt one of the best I’ve seen in kdramaland. The bullying and cruelty was handled well as it was extremely hard to watch at times but I’m glad it wasn’t shied away from. The realism in the series is what I really enjoyed watching. It was great to watch the theme of friendship and how it can strengthen the people involved manifest throughout the story.
THE CHARACTERS - Park Jihoon being cast as Si Eun was as genius as it was clever. This was my first drama with him and I truly wanna commend him for how well he portrayed his character. He looks weak and cute on the outside but when crossed he turns into a totally different person. The facial expressions were on point. He came off as numb but never indifferent. Choi Hyun Wook really shined in this show. He was far more charming here than he was in 2521. His chemistry with PJH and Hong Kyung was really good. I hope he gets bigger roles in the future. Hong Kyung’s character had a real twist that I did not see coming. It’s interesting to see how his demeaner and actions differ when he wears his glasses and when he doesn’t. His fall was unfortunate but made for good storytelling. The bullies did their thing. If anything they showcase the common idiom “hurt people hurt people.” Some people are so weak that they prey upon others to feel some sense of power or stature in society.
On a side note I have to acknowledge the fights! The action scenes were really cool and filmed so well. Def exhilarating to watch and even had me on the edge of my seat at times. I actually might rewatch this because of the fights alone.
Overall this was a great watch. Will def be checking out the webtoon soon. The ending for season 1 was open-ended enough for a second installment. I really hope thats the case cause this was so good.
