Really nice plot... I stan Hani, and she is just the cherry on top on this golden plot.
So at first you thought it was chill and all, but the plot thickens and thickens, until all is revealed. And honestly, the ending is very nice, it was like a plot twist ending. Juno, Hani's character stayed true to her true colors till the end. It was a new and different ending, unlike most plots where people change for the better... But I think it is realistic, since some people just can't change, and those people will always end up in some way, because they won't change. It was always gonna end like this for Juno... I gues truth hurts man...Too much lies, and the lies will SEEM like reality. But not everything is as it SEEMS. Most liars just can't accept the truth, and just live in lies their whole life. But we can't keep lying forever. Face the truth, even if it hurts, if it hurts too much... Then we'll just be the second Juno...

Hani slayed it
Horror and Sci-Fi meet in this episode. The horror scenes are bloody good! Hani portrays as a gamer named Juno. She has to go through several stages of fear in the game.
During the game, the teacher explains Greek Mythology. Crows originally had beautiful white feathers. They were Apollo's messenger, but one day they came back late with a message. Because it wasn't focused on the task, Apollo asked why the crow was late. The Crow says Apollo's wife Coronis had an affair, which was a lie. Apollo believed the crow. So he kills Coronis. But he finds out the crow lied after he kills Coronis. Apollo gets so angry and he burns the crow to death. That is why the crow came to have black feathers.
This myth drives the story deep. At the beginning of the episode, we find Juno's classmate commenting on her Live stream, a rumor on suicide. Juno believes it's all a lie, when she starts playing the game, she has to go through several stages of fear. In these stages, we see her past. Same school, same students, same setting with serious horror. Students turning to crows was really scary. I really loved the Crow reference.
In the end, The crow simply didn't want to be hated. Hence...I am not going to spoil it. In the end, she turns into... It's so beautiful.

Good Enough
Korean Series SF8 is an ambitious anthology of sci fi stories. Others are better constructed, fitting well into the short length of an hour, others had compelling stories or characters or both, and others didn't do so well. Nevertheless, all of them had interesting themes, great performances and, best of all, beautiful CGI that created the perfect futuristic atmosphere.White Crow didn't start strong enough, as it throws the viewer straight into the midst of drama when the main character's world is crumbling down. However, after she gets into the video game, things get gradually so intense and in the ending was pretty shocking.
