A crime, is a crime. Age is irrelevant.
How could a child commit a crime? How could someone so young do something so brutal?Every case involving children or minors has the same outcome, a rehabilitation center that never manages to make much of a difference. Set in the backdrop of protests against the current juvenile act in korea, this drama attempts to toy with an important question, "Is murder less of a crime when committed by a child?"
Does everyone deserve a second chance? A free second shot?
The story, refreshingly, does not feed you the answer. All the characters are morally grey and have their own beliefs and personalities, as the viewer you are free to have your own opinion but you must remember one aspect above all.
A crime is a crime.
And that i believe is the important take away, relatively simple but so important.
as stated in episode 1, “how dare she commit a crime”
Is stealing bread because you’re starving a crime? Yes. Should everyone have access to bread? Obviously.
Should a government be held responsible when everyone doesn't have access to bread? Yes.
An oversimplification, but maybe it gets the point across.
I’ll probably come back to these random musings another day. However, a brilliant show, attempting to break the mould in an oversaturated industry.
