What it promises, it delivers -- nothing more and nothing less! But is there more to promise?
In ten episodes, I do not think so. This output perfectly captures this drama -- what it promises, it delivers -- nothing more and nothing less!
The actors this a fantastic job with their roles. I believed each one of them, from the most annoying to most desparate one.
The premise of the drama was blatantly clear, and was bluntly beated into viewer's forehead from episode to episode. Repeat after me: "Hierarchies are fundamental part of social fabric from the childhood to adulthood... And you cannot escape them." There are always ways to trap you into a layer where the powerful want you to be. And often times to climb voluntarily social ladder one sacrifices integrity and sense of morality. Because the pyramid, you see, it is not theirs. But of someone else, and in this drama it belongs to one character.
Ok, got it. Next? Oh not much really, from episode 1-10 this is the take home message. Which for a short drama I do consider a message being delivered. Mission completed and all that.
Another great theme tackled at the end of the drama was the concept of bystander.
There are almost no bad standouts to point out. The manipulation strategies of the main antagonist over the adults were slightly, to put it kindly, unrealistic. For the rest, it serves the story and very well could've reflected the reality.
Not particularly entertaining watch, I am not moved or anything but I cannot find wrong things with the project. If you do like these dramas that reflect on social issues, this might be a great one for you.
Thanks for reading.
