Class Dismissed!
Binged this series in a day. It was such a satisfying show. It was so refreshing to see something like this. The show was so in your face both in a good and bad way. It touched on societal issues that plague the education system in Korea, but echoes what could also be happening elsewhere. This didn't try to preach but showed an alternate reality that tells us what, why, and how to teach a lesson. I particularly liked that it not only brought up issues on bullying, pressure and stress from grade and exam anxieties, parenting faults and excess, drugs, addiction, teacher and student abuse, etc., but also how all of these contribute to bigger and systemic problems. Yes, it was violent but in a rather cathartic way. Sometimes some people just need a beating, for real! I am hoping for a season 2 already!
