Extracurricular (2020)

Interesting premise with unfortunately, an unbelievable main character. The MC makes too many careless mistakes, doesn’t have the street smarts, decisiveness or emotional intelligence to pull off running a network of girls along with fail safes and a single subordinate all by himself WHILE going to school full-time. I just don’t buy it.

It would make more sense if the story built him up to get to the point of managing this illegal operation or have someone else more believable be the mastermind. It’s too bad given its interesting premise and supporting characters.

[Non-spoilery part now]

Wooooooow. This left me so shocked, what the hell.

All I have to say is that Minhee deserved better. Kitae sucks. Jisoo and Gyuri suck. All in a different but beautiful way. Just by watching this show you realize how trashy school students can be.

I need a second season. Watch it if you like your dramas with a bit of violence, blood, and sensitive topics. You'll like it.

[Spoilers now, stop reading if you haven't watched it yet..]

Uhm, I'm kinda happy that things went bad for Jisoo, after all he was doing things that are not OK. He deserves a bad ending, however I can't help but feel sorry for him. I kinda started liking his character after the first half of the drama.
I just didn't like that Kitae came in to be the 'justiceman'.. he's so unlikable.

Aside from that I think that the ending was very open, what happened to Jisoo and Gyuri? Did he die? Did they escpae together? What's up with the Uncle, though. He seems secretly alive, but they didn't explain much after that. And will Minhee be able to find peace? Poor girl, she went through a lot. Didn't like her character at first but now she's grown on me a lot :(

Characters are too bland

I dropped this show by episode two because Gyu Ri was a character I really disliked, I hated how they tried to insinuate that she'll help Jisoo grow his business, at the end of episode two, but she literally ruined his business. They gloss over that, but its a big deal and I don't wanna deal with another drama that'll probably gloss over her big misstep or just ignore it. I'm tired of dramas having these nonsensical writing and then expecting the audience to side with the character.

Gyu Ri could've spoken to Jisoo, and confronted him, instead because of her his business was comprised for a few days, which is life-and-death for some of the women on the app. Then she becomes the reason for Jisoo's dad's theft. It was frustrating to watch and I felt bad for Jiso. I'm sure they fix Gyu Ri's character later, but to me her base, as a character, is flawed.

Also, I hate when dramas make me want to sympathize with rich kids, like sure Gyu Ri's parents suck, but shes is loaded and for her to think she has a life just as bad as Jisso, which is what I felt from her character, is pathetic.

Passei raiva assistindo!

Assisti apenas dois episódios, parece pouco, porém cada episódio tem uma hora.

Motivos pra abandonar:

1. O protagonista não é um gênio, bem pelo contrário.

2. A garota que veio ser o par romântico dele, na verdade é rica e idiota, ela simplesmente rouba coisas sem necessidade, e pior, rouba de pobre! A maior dificuldade da vida dela é ter que virar CEO no futuro (não estou brincando), ela também odeia os pais.

3. Mais uma vez, A GAROTA, além de ser revoltada sem causa, ainda manipula o protagonista e resolve se envolver com o mundo do crime por diversão, minha vontade é entrar no dorama, dar um socão na boca dela, e depois dizer "Ninguém te chamou aqui! volta pro seu condomínio de luxo!" , a criatura se acha a dona do morro, a famosa "favelada de condomínio".
