She’s the eldest and makes the kiddos eat their vegetables and is lovingly naggy.Įun-bi notices ripped clothing in the wash and checks on one of the other girls, Ra-jin, who’s hiding a large bruise on her side. Her home life is more pleasant, and her bright personality is allowed to show through as she acts as de facto mother hen at the orphanage, Love’s House, where she’s spent most of her life.
So she’s left completely adrift while everyone gawks and laughs at her openly, enjoying her misery. Her teacher pulls her aside to ask why she’s always in gym clothes and whether she’s being bothered, but doesn’t press when Eun-bi lies that nobody’s doing anything. She has to dress in her gym clothes for the rest of school, and everybody makes a big show of recoiling at her stink from the fish sauce. So-young and her posse laugh maliciously while Eun-bi chokes back tears. They’ve cornered Eun-bi and proceed to make a “birthday cake” of her, flinging eggs, flour, and fish sauce over her head.
She works multiple part-time jobs and aspires to be a teacher-one who understands her students, their lies, and what they’re hiding.Įun-bi has a cheerful way of speaking, but once we join her at school, the reason for her answers becomes clear, because she’s the target of some vicious bullying.Ĭase in point: A girl, So-young, is led by her friends to the special “birthday present” they’ve prepared for her. And if she weren’t able to go, she’d want to.Įun-bi lives in the southern province of Gyeongsamnam-do, in the city of Tongyeong. We open with an interview-style introduction on LEE EUN-BI ( Kim So-hyun), a second-year in high school who explains her contradictory feelings about school sheepishly: She doesn’t like going, but not going makes her nervous.

Tiger JK – “Reset” from the Who Are You-School 2015 OST Īudio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. I don’t expect it to go full-on rom-com, but I wouldn’t want that of this show anyway just a little bit of light to give shape to all the shadows. This first episode is on the heavy side with all the setting-up required to show us what the outcast’s life was like before the big twist, but I also think there’s room in there to add cute, funny touches.
It’s partly because the show deals with issues like bullying in a rather stark light, and partly because this is also a mystery-thriller on top of being a school drama. Phew, Who Are You-School 2015 has quite the dark streak, but I like it. 130 ApJanuWho Are You–School 2015: Episode 1 by javabeans
