[cmoneyspinner]

“Extracurricular” (aka “Human Class”) is a 2020 Korean drama series, with 10 episodes, and can be categorized as Noir, High School, Youth, and Crime. ♦ I Have To Take Care of Myself In “Extracurricular”, Oh Ji-Soo is a young boy abandoned by his parents when he started his first year in high school. Nobody knew. He never told the teachers or anyone else. He realized that he had to take care of himself. But what kind of work can a model student do to pay the rent and utilities, buy groceries and clothes, etc.? Running an escort service is very profitable. An escort service? You’re in a high school!! Is that possible? Believe it or not, it’s doable. You just need certain equipment to communicate and people willing to work for you. But is it legal? Legal? Of course not! But the money is good! It’s extracurricular activity but you don’t earn class credits. Bae Gyu-Ri and Oh Ji-Soo attend high school together. Whereas Oh Ji-Soo is viewed by his

Woah, this is messed up! High school escort service? Never thought I'd see a K-drama tackle a topic this dark. Feel bad for Oh Ji-Soo, though. Abandoned by his parents, gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. Bae Gyu-Ri seems troubled too, rich girl with a dark side. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Definitely curious to see where this goes, but not sure it's something I'd watch before bed.

Oh Ji-Soo must be resourceful and intelligent. Wonder what his plans were for the money – college maybe? Bae Gyu-Ri seems impulsive and entitled. Blackmailing her classmate? Not a good look. This drama sounds like it'll explore the choices we make and the consequences that follow. Makes you think twice about taking shortcuts, even if you're young.

I found "Extracurricular" to be both disturbing and fascinating. Oh Ji-Soo is a character you can’t help but empathize with, despite his illegal activities. His abandonment and struggle for survival are deeply moving. Bae Gyu-Ri’s character is complex and adds a lot of tension to the story. Her desire for excitement and willingness to manipulate Ji-Soo make for a compelling dynamic. The show does an excellent job of portraying the harsh realities and moral complexities of their situation. It’s a dark, intense series that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The ending leaves you reflecting on the consequences of their choices.

Extracurricular is one of those K-dramas that stays with you long after you finish watching. It's dark, it's intense, and it makes you think. The characters are complex and flawed, but you can't help but empathize with them. The drama doesn't shy away from showing the harsh realities of life, but it also offers a glimmer of hope. Highly recommend it, but be prepared for lotsa drama

This friggin show left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, Oh Ji-Soo’s story is incredibly sad. His abandonment and the lengths he goes to survive are heart-wrenching. On the other hand, Bae Gyu-Ri’s actions are infuriating. Her desire for excitement leads her to manipulate Ji-Soo, causing more harm than good. The show does a great job of building tension and exploring the darker side of youth. It’s not just a simple high school drama; it delves into serious issues like crime, survival, and moral ambiguity. Despite the heavy themes, it’s a captivating watch that keeps you engaged till the end.

Take my advice. If you're like me, DO NOT watch this before going to bed. I have had dark K-dramas that lingered with me for days. LOL. I couldn't sleep! LOL.
