However, I really enjoyed everything else: Maybe this is in fact the experience students in Thailand (or Korea) have, to me it seems unrealistic. Especially when they were wishing goodbye to Mr. In my opinion, they unnecessarily idealised high school as an institution, I really cannot relate with such a depiction of it. I refuse to believe that such cruelty could just be a simple character trait.
She was not a victim of domestic violence herself (as far as we know) and she didn’t experience any peer pressure, so where ist the key to understanding her behaviour? Although her final moments were very strong, with everything that she did I feel like she needed to be cured in a psychiatric clinic. Especially if the overall message was that at the age of 17 nothing is as serious as it seems etc., you can’t just put in such a psycho. I really can’t say that it got boring, but the storytelling would definitely work better in a shorter format.
Cutting it down to maybe 15 episodes would have helped to avoid getting repetitive (some dialogue was repeated several times with only slight variations) and to keep up the high tension (the “revelations” were mostly announced way too early). I really can’t think of a good reason why they had to stretch it like this. The original has 16 episodes of about 45 minutes, the remake has 18 episodes of about an hour. And I certainly didn’t regret it.įirst the things I wasn’t so happy about:
Great job, Kanittha Kwanyu! A Korean original (which I have not seen) and Kanittha Kwanyu as the director – these were two pretty good reasons for me to watch the show.
