Extracurricular: Stream or Skip this dark Kdrama?

Review by @kenechukwu97 · 1114d · of Extracurricular

Have you ever watched a show with an on-screen character that was quite unlikeable to watch? The one in this show was so unlikeable to the point that I had to ask; Why is she so annoying? The worst part is that she's the lead female character and has A LOT of screen time. Many netizens couldn't get past the second episode of the show because of this particular character.

This goes to show that the actor played the role perfectly. I kinda think her annoying element was pushed a little too far by the scripting of the show and it got worse with each new stunt she pulled. Her character was thoroughly dislikable, but that wasn't the only distasteful thing about this show.

Yeah, just wait for it...

The story looks good on paper and it was obvious that isn't going to be a lovey-dovey story of Oppas chasing Noonas around. The synopsis I saw for the show looked fairly inspiring, but for some reason, I have been putting this off since 2020. I finally got to watch the show two months ago and I feel so gutted for sitting through the 10 episodes of the show.

Oh, my precious time. Haha.

It's funny how they ended this with a cliffhanger. It's like they want viewers to scream for a second season and so many people are asking for that, but the one I've seen so far is enough for me. There is still no word about the coming of a second season, and I can't imagine myself sitting down to stream a second season of this show for whatever reason. It's just not happening.

Did you see the above trailer?

That's the work of a genuine hype(guy/lady). Whoever did that deserves all the accolades for the money made from the show. The trailer got me tripping and my expectations got blown out of proportion. But, when I finally started watching the show, my disappointment was as loud as my initial expectation.

Well, lemme say this and say it right...

I watched each episode with a surge of anticipation while waiting for the show to finally get thrilling, but all I got were a series of distasteful episodes. I still don't know why netizens hyped this up like crazy. As far as I can tell, after watching every minute of the show, this is average at best.

The irony of this is that even in the final scene, I was still looking forward to something that will make me feel like this show wasn't a complete waste of time. I'm still waiting. Haha. The storyline is shocking. It's as if they want to project a morally incorrect activity and make us sympathize with those that were breaking that moral rule.

The whole PIMP business model spearheaded by a teenager didn't humour me at all. If anything, the good thing about the story in this show is that it didn't hold back in highlighting the ugly truth of this modern society. The story will mess with your mind. I'm serious about that.
