Shin Ye-eun, the more series I see with her, the more captivating I find her acting style. She exudes real authority and a particular determination in all her roles ; there's something both naturalistic and elegant about it.
In this series, there are situations of profound injustice, manipulative characters very happy to be untouchable, beatings at 10 against 1 and bullying that the perpetrators openly brag about without suffering the consequences, so some moments really hurt. In the first half, it's impossible to get a second's breathing space.
The plots all move forward at the same speed, and in the final episodes the pace suddenly picks up, so even though we had absolutely no way of finding the culprit, we don't feel cheated. We see the same scenes several times from different angles, going back to the end of some of them to go back before and give a new context. Not a bad idea. These young gentlemen are evil geniuses. I don't want to boast, it's not a contest, but here goes : I guessed about the brother and his love affair. Yep.
However, these people don't know how to respect other's privacy and personal space, they go through their friends' things a bit too easily. That said, these young people know how to talk to the cops. They lie to them, telling them only what they need to hear. Nobody respects them.
However... I wonder about the need for a minor female character who turns out to be pregnant and says she wants to keep the child because she has "no other choice". What are they trying to tell us with this ? I have my own idea. Does anyone have a problem with the fact that she's in a relationship with an older guy who's apparently a star (it's thrown out there in a second and we move on) ? yuck... Or was it to denounce a real star ? It's disturbing this narrative arc that adds nothing to the plot and leads to no conclusion.
Ps: Well done to this schoolgirl who, by changing her wig, gets +100 in camouflage, so no one can spot her. A prodigy.
