saves her!

Apr 3, 2022 07:26 am

I saw this video online of an IRL social experiment and it really made me want to watch a drama like it. A girl has a mean note taped on her backpack that she hasn't noticed, but a young man comes over and asks if she noticed the note on her backpack. Upon seeing the note, she tells him that her classmates did it (alluding that she's been getting bullied) and starts crying, but he comforts her and even offers her to buy her some food.

Are there any dramas like this? Anime or manga also works if you know of any! That video just really melted my heart and I'd love to watch a drama with that trope TT. The girl should be a student, but the guy doesn't have to be a student.

not really similar with the whole note thing but there is a movie where the girl is being bullied and a guy in a bear costume comforts & befriends her

Kdrama :

True Beauty

Animes :

A silent voice (what's interesting is that it's the guy who was the bully when he was a child. When he became adult, he met the girl again and does everything to comfort/help her. He has a major character development which was sweet to see.)

Oh speaking of manga. Mars, it's not just about bullying and touches on some darker themes. But it's essentially shy abused girl meets bad boy with a traumatic past and they fall in love and save each other, One of my faves in high school! There is a live action drama but I've never been able to find a good quality version of it.

Kotoura-san might loosely fit as well.

Looking through my manga list Vitamin is also tagged with bullying but I don't remember any of the plot of this manga.
