Unfortunately for him, he IS an anger muffin with unbelievable fighting skills and an inability to look away in the face of injustice. I found his story the most compelling as a student who joins the gang in order to just keep his head down and make it through high school unnoticed and unscathed.
Hands down, he might be my favorite character in the entire drama, which is no real surprise considering my affinity for tiny anger muffins. Their plan, from what I understand? Destroy the truce and thereby destroy their unified power, and then step back while they destroy each other.Īlong the way, they make enemies and pick up new and unexpected allies. Our threesome, after realizing no real authority will listen to them, take it upon themselves to make things right…by taking down both gangs.

It reminded me of a Joseph Gordon Levett movie I saw forever ago named Brick where they took a standard film noir/detective plot and placed into a high school setting. Once (the thing that shall remain undescribed happens) this is really when the show changes from straight up mob-plot to more of a film noir. With everything that happened, with all of the layered plots, the interconnecting characters, and extended (seriously, how could anyone fight for that long?) fight scenes it’s amazing how they fit it all into four one hour episodes. While our trio agrees to help the pair it’s not until something happens to brother dearest that the action really kicks in. Though the gangs exist within the school’s properties, though the attack leaves his sister in the hospital, there are apparently no adults who will help, or even acknowledge that there is an issue. Though she survived, she and her brother have been marked to show as an example of the gang’s power. His sister has been targeted by one of the gangs and was attacked. Once they save the boy in question, he throws himself on their mercy, looking for help. First clue these guys were going to be the good guys of the drama? Their leader is played by Sehun. After they save him as - like most drama neer-do-wells - we find they are actually good guys who can’t stand injustice. The plot really begins when the trio saves a boy from being beaten up and taken in by one of the gangs. In between these two factions - schools - there is a group of three high school dropouts, seemingly neer-do-wells who loaf about, fighting, and I’m sure…breaking their mother’s hearts. Within each gang, you have bad people doing bad things to others on the say so of higher up bad people. Although… is there a difference between the mob and gangs? Technically the warring factions between the two schools are more gang than the mob, but when you think about it, there really isn’t much difference between the two.Įssentially the plot revolves around this world where there are two large school gangs held together by a tenuous truce. Guess you learn something new about yourself every day. Revaluating? I love mob storylines! Weird. Usually, I’m not a massive fan of the mob movie/drama….actually I say that but now that I think about it? Loved Cruel City, loved Lovers, Friend 2 was great, I even watch US mob dramas such as Casino, Godfather, and Sopranos. Surprise? I was so transfixed that after Alix left after 2 episodes, we continued to watch. Before Alix suggested we give it a try, I hadn’t heard of it either, but since it fit into Kate and my drama short theme for the day and Alix wanted to see EXO’s Sehun lead in a show, we settled in to give it a watch. Never heard of it? Well, you are not alone, my friend. Like mob dramas? Dig noir? One to root for the underdog? Have a thing for nonstop action? Want all of that in one drama but only have the time for a drama short?
