A weaker episode compared to the premiere. The story slows down a bit, and some scenes don’t feel as impactful as Episode 1. However, it still does a good job expanding the world and introducing important characters and plot points that will likely matter later. Not a bad episode, just not as engaging as the opening.

An excellent opening episode that wastes no time showing how brutal and unfair the school system can be. Na Hwa-jin makes an unforgettable first impression.
The story is heartfelt, engaging, and genuinely moving. The character dynamics are one of the show’s strongest points, making every relationship feel meaningful and real. My favourite character has to be the guy with the glasses—he brought so much charm, humour, and personality to the show, and every scene with him was a highlight for me. While there were a few episodes that felt a little weaker than the others, they were still enjoyable to watch and helped develop the story and characters. Overall, it’s a great K-drama with memorable characters, emotional moments, and a story that keeps you invested until the end.
Ahhh this type of topics really get to me!! I really don’t know how we exist. Why can’t we be kinder and more understanding of other people’s existence? If I talk more about this I’ll cry let’s talk about how Hwajin was so cute as a middle school teacher, with his cardigan and his glasses 😂 can we keep him?

I like that we get cases that are more laid back and showcase other abilities of our main guy. He doesn’t just punch and kick, he is also a skilled spy. The ending though? Giving context to our previous “villain” showing us that she was MADE not born like this. It’s really nice that she got some depth given that so far she’s the only female villain and did something that could damage the credibility of a very real, very sad issue in schools and korean society in general. Love the relationships of the squad. I’m sensing something in between the two youngest, I have a third sense for these things. At least is not with her superior whom she respects enough to get really mad at thinking he’s compromising his ideals. But no! Our man is unshakable. The speech at the end? Chills, literal chills.
The conversation between the MC and the teacher really got me on my feels and when she got her courage back!! Beautiful! We coulda use a lot more slapping around these bitches at the very least the evil one
This is where I realized this guy is really scary but it’s so fun watching beat men up
It’s sooo satisfying when he’s slapping those kids around!! Deserved!!
