8.0/10 - Okay! This is dark!!

Holy dramas! I just claimed that this drama wasn't too dark! Well this episode got all kind of crazy scary dark. I'm kind of surprised this doesn't have an age warning. This seems so much more scandalous than say My Mister. (I'm watching that right now too and the warning for 15 and over pops up.)

This episode is really setting up EVERYTHING. Not to mention that Gong Joo gets Kang Ja into school with a $20,000 bribe! First of all go Gong Joo for making all her dreams come true and making it rain. I also love seeing how much she loves Kang Ja. These two are a powerful friendship!

So back to that bribe! The Vice Principal took it and let her in. The whole school and apparently educational system is corrupt. Naive Teacher Park Noh Ah hasn't worked at other schools because he can't/won't see the corruption. Plus, he's a wuss and a boring. ^_- Now the Vice Principal has power over the school. BUT. Teacher Do has more power because he's chummy with Chairman Hong. There's a power play between them and who ever wins gets to decide Kang Ja's fate at the school. Teacher Do decides he's in on the laundering business. I also thinks he is aware that it might be a trap. Soon he is Director Do and has the power to expel Kang Ja. However, he still doesn't have enough power as he has to yield to the Chairman's son Sang Tae.

So now for student power!! (Which is told through a bathroom peeing scene! WTF! Ha-ha!) So Sang Tae is the head everything. Not because he's the smartest and number one student. He's class president and wields his father's power at the school. Go Bok Dong is power and strength, but he's a lackey. Bok Dong has real ties to gangsters, but the true monster are actually the people the gangsters work for.

Kang Ja finally realizes that Dong Chil is back in her life. He's got Bok Dong under his thumb. The fear Kang Ja is giving out is real.

So in episode 2 it's hinted at that Kang Ja was maybe raped. Her rapist is Dong Chil. Now more of that tragedy is revealed. It's a duzy man. I won't talk about it here. I'll ramble about it on my next episode review.

So ending thoughts. I think both Sang Tae and Bok Dong are the obvious villians. BUT THEY'RE ARE NOT. They're the red herring right now. I thought in the first episode that Sang Tae saw the girls being bullied and had Bok Dong come to help. Even though it looked like Bok Dong was making threats, he was trying to give out a warning to the girls. It's just really stupid. Also, I was shocked that Director/Teacher Do is a pedophile. I suppose part of it was that I didn't think the drama would go that far. Though I am happy it is allowed to do that. The scandal is super real now. Also, Bok Dong admitted that he doesn't hit girls so I have doubts he will be able to kill.
