Very satisfying watch.
June 2026
I loved this drama and the episodes simply melted away!
Yes it's violent, OTT, and causing controversy in its use of meeting fire with fire, regardless of the villains' age.
The pace is pretty fast and there's also humour to balance the tougher aspects.
A tragedy leads to a prominent politician setting up a specialist inspection team, that is sent into schools experiencing pupil issues that are out of control.
The main reason for doing this, is as much about protecting the right of other students to study and learn, as it is in providing them with a safe and protected environment in which to do that.
It's also about protecting teachers, who in many schools across the world now, can be in danger of losing their lives to a student, if addressing disruptive behaviour and violence.
It's not all about bad pupils, either; it's parents and teachers that stand in the way of these goals, that are brought to task too.
For me, the most difficult storyline was ep 6 on, and some completely evil juvenile delinquents, who hid behind their age, and were protected by an impotent legal system because of that. This, coupled with parents completely out of touch with them, who just wanted the atrocities of their offspring to vanish.
Parents who endanger their own children through emotional blackmail and control, or by actually supporting their behaviour, are dealt with, too.
A manipulative mother storyline was pretty hard hitting.
I felt this series is a platform that uses the beyond reality action scenes and story lines, to highlight the very real issues that exist for both good teachers and willing students, in schools everywhere.
Parents are shown as a sometimes major part of the problem, which is often all too true.
That the young are totally capable of manipulating, lying and being extremely capable in destroying the lives of others, is not fictional, either.
The team are so diverse, and whilst I initially thought Jin Ki-joo's character (Im Han-rim) would drive me 🦇💩 , I ended up loving her!
Seeing P.O (Pyo Jihoon of BlockB) in a drama again, makes me very happy, too... his character provides not a few giggles.
A totally captivating watch for me. Even yhough totally OTT it was so satisfying seeing those who felt no remorse, and had no intention of changing, get their just desserts, whilst others turned a page.
