Short, Slightly No-BS Web Drama

The plot is about students going through puberty and the desires and intense emotions they go through in this stage of their lives (high school). There are three main stories for this: (1) A guy having a masturbation addiction; (2) Two childhood friends & neighbors who know nothing about sex and relationships with the female lead being a conservative and; (3) A chubby female lead battling discrimination from her family, school teachers & batch mates all the while having her go through wanting to experience romantic love & dating despite all the discrimination she goes through.

I think the best story among the three is the 2nd one, cliched but it was executed the best among all. I have issues with the 1st and 3rd one because they have not really addressed the issue as much as I expected. With the 1st story, they focused too much on the addiction but it still somehow tells viewers that "This is taboo; this is TOTALLY NOT OK," when it is a natural part of life. What I admire about this first story though, is the no-BS. They went straight for it. Talking about these things are AGE APPROPRIATE already for high schoolers. For the 3rd one, I am most mad about the fact that it still shows the grown-ups excuse it. It isn't ok, the chubby girl does not always have to pay the price. She is the victim; there should still be an ending where she wins, not where she still has to "tolerate & accept" things to be that way. I hope they explore this better and someone breaks the mold someday.
