This is possibly one of the best dramas I've ever seen. I heard about this drama long ago but never took the time to go on and watch it. Now that I did, I must say I missed something. I mean, what a drama. The plot is quite simple, it all revolves around bullying in a japanese high school. Sometimes simplicity is what's best. I was completely hooked by the whole story and its plot twists. So many things happen in just one episode, and they're just 36 minutes long. The writers continuously were on a slippery slope as they had to tell so many things in just 11 episodes but they managed to put as much as needed in each episode. They also did great at handling different themes such as friendship, jealousy, selfishness, betrayal... The story doesn't drag, and its ending is so cleverly done. I'm no fan of ends with "open doors" but this one was inevitable. Really loved the finale. Felt like the last few episodes were a build up to a climax and it was amazing. The cast even though I suppose quite young did excellent, everyone was spot on. You know a villain does a great job when you love to hate him. The characters were coherent and all had a purpose. Maybe the two main big bad wolves went a little over the top with their behavior as I was sometimes legit frightened thinking anyone could do that in real life but I won't blame them since the drama felt overall realistic. The drama was shot accurately and beautifully and the music was perfectly used. Both managed to create the drama's own unique style and watching an episode was like entering into the series' own world. I highly recommend anyone who's into dramas in general to watch this one. Uncomfortable and even unpleasant to watch at times, but so brilliant. Really outstanding.
