Came out of nowhere and became a hit. This show is surprisingly excellent. Every episode is straightforward, no-nonsense, and very intense. The show covers different "common" bullying cases in each episodes, including physical abuse, psychological, gambling, drugs, and involves every party from students, teachers, even parents. The insert of small comedy in this show is a perfect balance.
For an action show, the storywriting is pretty nice and tidy. The messages delivered very loud and clear. While Na Hwa Jin always saves with his "super-slap", I personally think the main leads aren't the highlight of this show. It's all of the villains who always succesfully increased our cholesterol while watching. Massive shoutout to several brand-new faces in this show.
Several comments from me: The pacing at the early episodes seemed too slow, some audience may not feel engaged. The online gambling case had a very thin silver-lining to the school, I don't understand why they took the case and even started the investigation from the school. The juvenile cases, I couldn't get about the verdict so they were able to keep them inside the prison. While Hwa Jin was a very calculative person, he somehow came to the knife fight with zero preparations. The romance at the end was a bit disturbing. It should start earlier, or should be nothing at all. Another distrubing scene was the cola product placement, like whaat??
Overall, yes you must watch this. It's a very great and intense show with a lot of things to learn inside. Don't watch too close to the screen, you might want to punch it in the process.
