At Eighteen

A 2019 Korean drama which deals with coming of age for three students in particular. Look at the posters & they are all so happy. But in the series they are bogged down by expectations & hardships that are real life.

The new home room teacher is a new bie & treated as such. Kang Ki-young in the role is best. Ong Seong wu & Kim Hyung gi make an adorable pair. Kim Sun young as a ambitious mother is different from her other roles.

Choi Dae hoon as the much sought after private tutor is himself. He carries off such roles effortlessly. The mothers are keen to put their wards in his classes. He takes tests before enrolling them.

I had discontinued watching ‘Black Dog’ thinking that it is dark! This one is the same. Instead of focussing on the studies or the classroom it deals with the dark side. The parental pressure, peer pressure & the rift between the rich & poor.
