AsianDramas

This drama hooked me right from ep 1. It starts with horrifying bullying and a student’s suicide, so the atmosphere is dark and frustrating from the beginning. But then the ERPB inspector enters and starts beating the bullies up, and honestly… it felt insanely satisfying. After watching so many dramas where bullies keep getting away with everything, seeing them finally get punished felt refreshing.

The show is definitely over-the-top and unrealistic.. one man beating 20–30 thug students alone is crazy..
But I genuinely didn’t care because the drama knows exactly what kind of fantasy it wants to deliver: villains losing instead of constantly winning. Sometimes you just want to watch criminals and bullies get immediate karma instead of waiting until the final episode.

What I liked most is that the drama didn’t only focus on abusive students. It also showed toxic parents, corrupt systems, and adults enabling violence. Some episodes were emotionally frustrating, especially the ones involving manipulative parents and the pressure they put on their children. Hyeon Min’s mother drugging her own son for academic success and u jin's mother stalking the teacher were the most disturbing parts of the drama for me.

The female lead annoyed me at times especially her voice when she screamed was irritating.... she acted recklessly and wasn’t very strategic, but I did like her almost maniacal energy. The villains were genuinely infuriating, which made their downfall even more satisfying.

Overall, this show is not subtle, realistic, or emotionally delicate. It’s loud, violent, dramatic but that’s exactly why it works.
If you’re tired of watching bullies constantly win in dramas, this one is incredibly satisfying to watch. I honestly hope it gets a second season.
