Change Is Coming

I can already smell this is gonna be a nasty love triangle, maybe more faces than triangles to be honest. I'm here for it.

Kotoko's Spirit

I guess Kotoko still lives on in this role as well. However, not as obnoxious and annoying, or at least this showing is the extent of it. I already dislike the main lead for some reason.

How Has Kotoko Grown

I have been postponing watching this since a long time ago and only decided to watch it in the first place because of Honoka Yahagi it feels so weird seeing her play someone other than Kotoko, but I'm here for it.This felt like a simple, low-budget live-action, nothing really to praise so far, but I'll be sticking for the drama all the way. I hope it's not too annoying.

Episodes 7 and 8

The feeling of bitterness rushed me the same way they did when I first finished the show, it really was a journey, even through a different lens through these clips.

Episodes 5 and 6

These fly by quickly. It's sade seeing some of these scenes because they remind you of how heated the situation was in the show at that time, but then seeing how the crew is having a blast filming them comes off a bit endearing.

Episodes 3 and 4

Yet again, a classic collection of bloopers for the third and fourth episodes. Watching these makes me wish the main character smiled and laughed more, he looks so cheerful and weirdly out of character.

Episodes 1 and 2

This was a behind-the-scenes collection of clips for the filming of the first and second episodes of the show. It was cute to see the bullies apologies after doing every bit haha. The acting was good enough to make you hate them on a fore-front level but this is a bit lessening for that hate.

"I Don't Know Either"

The "I Don't Know Either" comeback was so sad and regretful. You know he was doing things irrationally, whatever darkness he had inside was too vast and did not just vanish after one or two mischiefs. This is a story where everyone lost, the kind of story that everyone who took part is gonna move on and never even talk about.It seems like the sea has much more fish, and even after a big transfer, Shi Eun is bound to deal with douchebags yet again. However this time around, there is no Soo Ho to provide support.

Malice

Oh hell nah, man.Yeah, at the beginning, I was getting Beom Seok's whole perspective, I was on the fence, but surely, he would pull through, right? He's not that type of guy, he's just not taking a breather to rationalize what he's supposed to react with. But no, the little weasel has done it.I just want the bastards to get it now.

Betrayal

SIgh, man, this show really knows how to make you hate a character.Although, it serves as a good build-up for what appears to be a final battle in the coming, and I hope it's as satisfying as this gang-up was frustrating.

A Fall From Grace

This was a very hard episode to watch, and very heartbreaking.I can see and clearly understand where Beom Seok is coming from, which makes it harder to rationalize it as well, it's a very spot-on depiction of what exploding one's frustrations on things they are inherently against. His father's abuse, the bullying, feeling less than his friends, it all adds up to something very dark. Shi Eun was on the right track trying to get to him, but it seems, Beom Seok gave in to his temptations.

More To This

That ending shocked me to the core.That was intense, I was on my toes the entire amusement park situation. I thought Soo Ho would be enough to overpower that douche, I guess it took a team effort in the end to beat him. The trio all of them plus the girl did their part. Not gonna lie, I warmed up to the jock more.The part with the Assemblyman does not look like it's any good. Like are the boys going against the state next? haha.

Mobster Hunt

It's always the adult who's hanging out with kids.It looks like this is gonna escalate higher than high school bullying and affairs, and I'm all here for it. I am feeling slight hesitations in the "antagonists" as well, so it might as well be the redemption type of stories.

Hyped!

I kid you not, I have watched battle Shounen Anime before which had fights less hype and exciting than the one featured in this episode. Everything from cinematography and how fast-paced everything feels, to the choreography chef's kiss.Forget Soo Ho, watching Shi Eun is also so thrilling, seeing how he can take the slightest overlooked opening from the opponent and take advantage of it, even if it gives him only a couple of hits till he's pinned down.So far, the antagonists really sell the villainous intents, I don't know if a redemption is entailed, but we will see.

Escalation

This was a rapid escalation I did NOT account for.Is this about to be one of those school shooting original stories or something? Because it looks like the cute kid being pressed to the point of no return to me. I came here for Cheon Hyun Wook, but I guess I'm staying for the suspenseful "when will he break" moment.
