actors with talent and screen presence will always win me over


I just started watching #TeachYouaLesson, the new drama on Netflix, and I'm really enjoying it. Then I came on X and saw that some Korean teachers are reportedly criticizing the drama and even calling for its cancellation because they believe violence isn't the answer to bullying. And honestly, I remembered the first time I watched Weak Hero Class 1 and Study Group, I was so confused as to how school bullying is often allowed to escalate to such extreme levels while the staff in charge seem to do little or nothing to help the situation or the victims. It was more like just an information to them. Let’s even put the fact that this is a fictional story aside, if we follow the teacher’s argument, doesn't it raise another question? Are they unintentionally acknowledging that the existing methods of dealing with bullying haven't been particularly effective? If the school systems were consistently working, would audiences be so drawn to stories where students feel forced to take matters into their own hands or seek outside intervention? I’m not saying violence is the only solution, but If people are so concerned about a fictional story where force is used against bullies, does that also suggest that they’ve not been doing enough to give people the confidence that the problem is being handled effectively?🤷🏼♀️
