A Strong Start And Finish!

Due to the length and number of episodes, this might be a difficult binge but I managed it. The first episode instantly pulls you in wifh the story of 2 bullied high school boys. We see their perspective and what feeling like going to school feels like. Until the male lead steps in and boy! WHAT AN INTRODUCTION! I was simply delighted!

Unlike most plots surrounding bullying, this drama doesn't stick to one school or one type of case. The protagonists move around from school to school. The victims also differ but the common theme is it's all related to problems at school level. That was gopd because I could see their line, "if adults are afraid of children, the country is done for" (paraphrased) becoming problematic as throughout history young people and students have led to a revolution. Of course context matters. In a school setting, if teachers are afraid of students, they will turn a blind eye to injustices.

The drama overall is an easy watch! I loved when the FL was introduced in episode 3! With every episode I was curious how the team will tackle these new situations. And I'm sure I won't be alone in wishing that such a department actually existed in the world. I haven't read the webtoon to make comparisons but I wonder if that is the reason why they didn't cover sexual harassment and assault cases among minors. Or perhaps they wanted to highlight other cases?

I enjoyed the action but my enjoyment at times was ruined by the camera moving too much. I understand that the aim was to dramatise it and express more movement but it felt like it was a cover for the ability of the actors. There were many parts that were still enoyable but perhaps not my favourite show for action for this reason. I would enjoy the overall scene but I didn't bother to rewatch the action sequences like I usually do because nothing was clear. Just too much movement during the harder fight scenes.

The team worked really well together so after Taxi Driver, this team's chemistry is great.

The music is also fun to listen to!

Give it a watch and hopefully you will enjoy it too.
