“I really want to die first," said a girl. Her teacher reacted by hitting her head.

The story is about how people react after a girl died by suicide and her friend is suspected as the ‘culprit’. The plot focuses on this friend and how she copes all those blames plus there's the mother of the girl who died who feels so guilty and miserable.
Special props to Jeon Yeo-bin (as Young-hee) and Seo Young-hwa (as the mother) for amazing performances. Jeon Yeo-bin didn't exaggerate the emotion and frustration yet these two actresses perfectly display all the hurts just through their expression, to the point it made me speechless.

This is the movie I've been looking for: bitter and realistic. After My Death addreses multiple social issues around us like, how adults tend to underestimate suicidal teenagers, school bullying, and so on. It feels raw and relatable and I felt a strange feeling after watching this.
What I like more is the movie doesn't try to explain why the characters are suicidal. Everyone has complicated problems and accumulated stress that we will never fully understand. There's no a single, all-in-one, conclusive reason behind it that people like to guess.
After My Death has broadened my perspective and I’m grateful I watched this gem.
