Teach you a lesson is such a weird kdrama, cuz on one hand I agree that bullies must be punished but on the other.....I don't like this implication that adults should have unlimited power over students. It seems to be.... implying things that make me a little uncomfortable.
I know that people will watch the bullies getting punished and come to the conclusion that children should be handled aggressively. I don't know...... this topic is way more nuanced than the kdrama is portraying it to be.
Protecting kids from the start, community based mental health care, removing power imbalances among students AND adults, and making sure that everyone has their basic needs met should be the first step.
Extreme measures should be employed only when everything else fails.
The author is also very VERY supportive of the right wing party of korea which....makes sense. It feels like a subtle push to make people believe that this is the only right way.
Other than that, IT MADE ME CRY SOOO MUCH. It's disgusting how much rich people can get away with. It's not a Korean issue, it's a world issue.
