The only thing I didn't understand was it was a movie
It was good to watch it. It really describes what is happening in our current society now, a lot of bullying and people who are silent out of fear for themselves. I hope it becomes widely known so that everyone knows what we are experiencing now.Since I have lived this role and seen it happen to other people, I hope that if you see something like this, do not remain silent in the face of injustice. What you saw, you don't know what might happen next time to the person or the bully in general .

There are a lot of Korean movies and shows with a theme of Highschool bullying but this one manages to be original by focusing on students who are standing by and don’t do anything about it, or don’t do enough. So this drama is relevant to all of us. It can be depressing to watch this kind of dramas but it is still important to be reminded about our responsibility to stand up for ourselves and for others. It is a virtue to be meek, but as a song goes “Sometimes you gotta fight when you’re a man”.There are two versions of English title for this drama: “We Were There” and “Anyone Anywhere”, the first meaning that the witness is also responsible and the second asking if there is anyone anywhere who is willing to help. I can see this drama being a part of educational programs.

O enredo do episódio 4 do especial de dramas da KBS (2023) é o bullying escolar. Mais uma vez um grupo de garotas escolhem um alvo para direcionar as mais perversas agressões físicas e psicológicas. E de repetente um garoto da sala começa a receber mensagens e vídeos das agressões com dicas para ajudar a vítima. Ele sempre acaba ajudando, porém um tanto irritado e intrigado por ele ser a pessoa que recebe as dicas. Certo dia ele decide descobrir quem está enviando as mensagens e para sua surpresa as mensagens estão vindo de uma garota que também está envolvida nas ações de bullying. Após confrontá-la decide não mais se envolver no assunto. Porém um evento trágico acontece e ao procurar mais uma vez a garota que enviava as mensagem de ajuda, ela finalmente revela porque ele era a pessoa que recebia as mensagens. Ela incialmente mandou mensagem para todos na sala, porém ele foi o único que respondeu e foi ajudar. A garota que enviava as mensagem havia sido vítima de bullying no colégio anterior e para evitar ser vítima novamente era uma participante silenciosa do grupo de agressoras.
Acho que a grande mensagem do especial é que mesmo que você não cometa agressões, mas permanece em silêncio assistindo o sofrimento dos outros, acaba sendo tão responsável quanto aqueles que praticam as violências. A garota das mensagens era tão responsável como todos da sala, todos viam e sabiam do bullying mas apenas uma pessoa na sala se incomodou ao ponto de responder a mensagem.
Gostei bastante da forma como a crítica foi abordada. Você também pode ser cúmplice, se assiste as agressões em silêncio por medo de envolver.

This film shows that there are still many people who 'close their eyes' when someone have bullying. People also don't want to be involved with victims of bullying. In fact, even when there is bullying, they don't want to help the victim and prefer to remain silent and don't know anything. This film also gives the message that we can help victims fight bullying and don't be the ones who ignore it because we don't know what will happen to the victim in the future.
