Do you have to become a monster to fight a monster?
I started watching this drama randomly, I don't even know why.
I thought I would binge watch it but it was heavy, I had to take a break around ep 8 but I finally finished it and I think it's worth it. It's a really dark twisted drama that leaves an impression.
Hwang Min is a murderer but I still couldn't hate him as much as I hate his bullies. Jong Suk is a hypocrite, he turned out to be the same as the bullies. I guess all he wanted to do was to protect himself, I can't blame him for that, his life was hell, but he still sucks like everyone else even if he tries to put on the perfect policeman mask.
I like how we start out thinking Hwang Min is the bad guy and Jong Suk is the good guy but the more story goes, we see nothing is black and white. Both of them are equally bad.
Hwang Min took the dark path of revenge while Jong Suk never repented for what he did, he just forgot it and that hurts because it's like it never happened. I don't like how it was never revealed what he did but I understand why, if Hwang Min wanted to reveal it, it would be revealed.
My favorite scene was definitely when Jong Suk and Cheol are talking after Cheol decides he wants to live.
JS - You are the God. God has to save the weak.
C - What are you talking about? Who do I save? I couldn't even save my dad. I'm just a middle school student.
I feel like Jong Suk was more obsessed with Cheol's ideology than being his friend. He put Cheol on a pedestal and when Cheol no longer wanted to be on that pedestal, he did something extreme.
In a way Cheol indirectly made Jong Suk a monster and his ideology that you need to be a monster to fight a monster stuck with Jong Suk till the very end. Even if he forgot Cheol, he never let go of that.
The scene where all three of them are laying down actually made me tear up because they were finally together. If they weren't bullied, how would their lives go? They would live long lives and be friends but that was taken away from them.
The ending scene is what really got me, them smiling and then you remember how they ended up. It's just sad.
I recommend this drama but keep in mind, it got really dark, real fast.
