Lifting the lid on S. Korea school violence and lack of justice snd accountability
This story inspired by a true story really upsets me. As an international KDrama fan, the way art imitates life in these dramas, especially in the:-
1. the heinous ways Koreans treat their employees,
2. the way they treat people they perceive are "lower class",
3. the ageism,
4. colorism,
5. racism,
6. bribery and corruption
7. lying to get ahead,
8. lying for money and ruining other people's lives,
9. Violence of all types towards women
10. obsession with beauty
11. obsession with marrying rich
12. obsession with addressing people by their employment status - that irritates me and makes no sense : Chairman this, Attorney that, Team Leader this, Secretary that 🙄
13. obsession with treating richer people as if they're gods. Here we don't give a hoot how much money you have. We dont bend backwards or forwards for you. Respect is earned and not given because you were born rich. We don't get out of the way to let you pass. Period!
14. SCHOOL/UNIVERSITY BULLYING!!!!
How is it the judicial system is still that antiquated? Like still living in the Joseon dynasty. FR! Why is the law so loose that people literally get away with murder and attempted murder? THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN JAILED! But you know what, with the way we've seen the Police portrayed, I'm all for this type of justice.
This drama, as with other dramas, is shining a light on these issues, but still the law does nothing about it. It's very concerning and finally showing the world that S. KOREA IS not all KPop, rainbows and beautiful people like we see in Goblin. Secretary Kim. BUT IS ACTUALLY A SQUID GAME.
