honestly i am so biased because this show feels like it was made for me. as my little headline suggests i am a SUCKER for repressed angry gifted kids and this gave me the "the bullied bullies his enemies back" realness like i'm sorry but my guy sieun is a king. lived for it all. the fighting. the drama between the three friends. all the depression and trauma my 3 pookies go through. it's just # real. (i'm sorry i'm not a serious reviewer i have to joke a lil)

ok but i seriously do think that the trio is perfect. they're such a power move!!! i personally love when 2 main characters have this sort of... how do i explain it. protective vibes for each other? like barely even know each other but already on each other's side? secret soft spot? becomes literal besties? with the bromance? *cough* couple material. not to mention a character who is hella morally grey but you end up feeling pained and sympathetic for them anyway because their situation is just. so dang complicated? like this trio has both and i personally feel like that's the perfect mix for complex relationships and thus themes of revenge/self-preservation/affects of trauma etc. so much more engaging.

also yes im a beomseok apologist and raging sieun supporter. had to be said. (yes these kids have issues. yes they make me feel heard. i will not be silenced LMAO)
