This drama is genuinely the definition of wasted potential. They had such an amazing idea/concept and could've executed so many different ways but they failed. I want to preface this by saying I love thriller/horror dramas, they are my bread and butter. I stayed up until 2 am binging this entire series HOPING it got better. Let's break down every part where they failed.

The main characters lacked so much depth. We don't even know when or how the two leads met. They show a flashback of some trauma that the male lead has but they never go into detail about what is or what happened. How are we, as viewers, supposed to empathize and support the main characters, if we know nothing about them?

This drama was also so infuriating to watch. everyone acted like an idiot. I'm not one to usually criticize the dumb actions of characters in thrillers because they're usually under a lot of stress, but some of the things they did. WOW. The bullies of the group kinda got to do as they pleased with no repercussions. It genuinely made no sense how they got to do whatever and manipulate everyone. The good guys just kind of let it happen. The female lead had her moments where she made some smart decisions, but she was also the type of female lead who was kind to a fault. She let the bully do as she pleased and would forgive her no matter what. The male lead kinda just stood by and let it happen. He "stopped" it a couple of times, but he also just pretended like it didn't happen and he'd be chill with the bully. There are multiple bully groups and it makes no sense how they survived as long as they did. I get that they were manipulative, but how did everyone put up with their attitude for so long. It's usually not as bad in other dramas bc the leads counteract the bullies but the leads in this series are just like bystanders.

This one is minor but it was just kinda like wtf. The sound that's played every time there is an announcement is the same exact sound from "The Purge." That should speak for itself.

I didn't wanna include any spoilers so I'm going to do my best to explain how bad this was. The reveal of the motive of the "antagonist" didn't make sense. To a degree it made sense, but it didn't explain why everyone in the class had to be punished instead of just the bullies.

It's hard to do a review without spoilers especially when I have to explain why things were bad. I just kinda felt sad. I really did want to like this drama and I just felt extreme disappointment. There were also multiple plot holes that I wouldn't be able to explain without spoilers so I'm going to be omitting them. I can't believe I was late to work the next day because I stayed up for this drama. wasted potential and a whole lotta disappointment.
