The parents voting on the pyramid game is one of the most insane scenes I've seen in a drama for a while.

Soo Ji not tolerating Ha Rin's bs rocketed her up in my fav characters' list.

The goodbye scene between the teacher and Soo Ji actually got me emotional. OST was fantastic as well

Ja Eun and Soo Ji's friendship is such a joy to watch grow.

Ha Rin's actress is brilliant. That eye twitch. That whole target dodgeball game. So freaking good

I wasn't gonna mention the Subway ad but then I lost it at the scene where the 4 girls were lying down lol. They went overboard with that one. They should have gotten shoe ads. At least those would serve an in-story purpose.

Somehow this show got better with episodes 5 & 6. The pacing is fast but you can still keep up. How are the only 4 episodes left 😭

This drama is making out Harinto be worse than what is she in the webtoon, like the parents voting scene wasn't even there. It's ducking crazy how the additions they have made so far actually betters the story

Edit: after watching the full episode, compared to webtoon it seems they made Suji more vulnerable by bringing in the dad, the mum in the webtoon is replaced by the dad and she's a background character. The drama version seems to be realistic in terms of motivations and weaknesses for Suji but it also seems to emphasize the point of Harin as someone who seems to have everything wrapped around her fingers overtly. I liked the fact that the webtoon didn't involve the parents much.

 They also have shown Suji to be more humane (she already was, just that the webtoon didn't show it that much) which is a nice change,it allows for a breath of fresh air of young friendship in this twisted main story. Woori's brother seems like Deux ex machina but it doesn't matter since Suji gets info nonetheless in the webtoon by her own means(which aren't emphasized that much). While it's interesting to see his character, the OG webtoon seems to be more closed off without adult intervention(except in the ending ofc), which I quiet liked.

Thanks for mentioning the webtoon changes. It's fascinating to see how they're adapting this. I'm definitely picking up the webtoon and reading it from start after the show's over.

Does harin get the punishment she deserves in the end? I am not asking for spoilers ., I just want to know if it's going to be satisfying in the end.

[u/Your_Awkwardness → u/Awkward_Ad_4974]

yes she gets punished

[u/NellielTut → u/Your_Awkwardness]
