Film semi korea sub indo lk215/1/2024 In this case, it was the student harassing the teacher, and I was intrigued, because, to my eyes, Meng Yun was just trying to do her job – which is how she ends up having that counseling session with him after school, which is how we end up with Show’s literal title, “The 9th Period,” because 9th period is when Yi Xiang’s counseling sessions with Meng Yun take place. I then thought, “Well, this likely means that Show is designed to be more of a cautionary tale than salacious romance,” and I was pretty on board with that – so I switched my viewing lens to align with that idea.Īnd because we see Yi Xiang harassing Meng Yun, instead of the other way around, I thought Show was trying to play with the usual trope, of the power imbalance typically being in favor of the adult in the equation. (Which, y’know, is why I hadn’t been planning to check this out in the first place, but like I said, the positive comments on MyDramaList intrigued me enough to make me change my mind.)Īnd so, when, in the opening minutes of episode 1, we’re told that the student in this equation, Yi Xiang, ends up stabbing the teacher, Meng Yun, I thought, “Oh, Show doesn’t appear to endorse or encourage the teacher-student affair, after all.” □īut, here’s a broad overview of my experience with some specific points of this show.īased on the trailer that I watched (below), which I realize on hindsight, is designed to hook you with the idea of a scandalous affair between a teacher and a student (I share a longer, more balanced trailer at the end of the review), I’d expected Show to be quite salacious. □ ROLLERCOASTER SPECIFICS It’s pretty useful to keep your helmet on for this, ha □įull disclosure: I didn’t take any notes during my watch, aside from my initial episode 1 & 2 notes, which I posted to Patreon, and I also took quite a long time to come back to this, after watching the first 9 episodes, so many details are likely to be hazy to me. Just go in with an open mind, don’t try to analyze stuff too much, and also, this is very vaguely spoilery, perhaps, but as someone who’s crossed the finish line on this one, I would also say, be prepared for genre changes, because Show likes her multiple costume changes. If you’re game to give this one a try, I’d say, maybe stop reading after this section, so that you can experience the rollercoaster for yourself.
