[Drama Recap] Who Are You - School 2015 : Episode 6 - K-Drama

thegeby.blogspot.com - On the 6th episode of KBS 2TV "Who Are You - School 2015', Gong Tae-kwang (Yook Seong-jae) skipped a class for Go Eun-byeol (Kim So-hyeon-I).

When Gong Tae-kwang saw Go Eun-byeol was being threatened by Kang So-yeong (Jo Soo-hyang) repeatedly, he changed his mind to withdraw himself from school and decided to stay in the school to protect her. Later, there was a rumor going around that Kang So-yeong was forced to transfer from the previous school because a student committed suicide being bullied by her.

Kang So-yeong suspected the origin of the rumor should be Gong Tae-kwang. She told him"Is it you who spread the strange rumor about me. It's only you and Go Eun-byeol who used to know about it. Or is it Lee Eun-bi, who's pretending Go Eun-byeol? I'm going to have her handwriting appraised. Wouldn't it be fair both sides should be revealed as you said?"

Gong Tae-kwang got worried. He grabbed Go Eun-byeol's hand, as soon as she arrived at the school and went on a random bus with her. Gong Tae-kwang told Go Eun-byeol, "Shouldn't there be at least one person? Someone who can call you by your real name?". He was confessing his love to her sneakily.

The conflict between Eun-bi and So-yeong remains unresolved. In the first place, there's not actually very much So-yeong can do- her usual shtick of physical intimidation doesn't work without the surrounding cult of personality. People can and will question So-yeong's behavior, since they haven't grown accustomed to it. Evidence is another matter- while So-yeong does find better proof for her conspiracy theory, she's still hamstrung by the fact that there's no way for her to explain how it was acquired.

The larger problem, of course, is just So-yeong's personality. Eun-bi doesn't want to have a fight about this any more than So-yeong does, but the way So-yeong acts like everything can and should be forgiven abruptly and arbitrarily is completely ridiculous. So-yeong's attitude is the real problem here. She hasn't figured out yet that to most people, abruptly jumping around from threats to apologies with no middle ground comes off as rather insincere.

This does beg the question- how did a young woman with so little an idea of how people operate become such an overpowering presence that she was able to single-handedly demote Eun-bi from class representative to victim who gets harassed in plain sight? The answer, is power. So-yeong can ask for favors from her dad, and get them without question. So-yeong's home situation is as yet unclear- but in public at least, she's the clear beneficiary of high class social connections.

Contrast this with Tae-kwang. He obviously lives in the luxury of privilege- but is too busy acting rebellious to enjoy much of it except for the video games. The opening interview was particularly funny- that is exactly the kind of answer he'd give in response to this kind of prompt. I find I'm somewhat torn on the question of whether we're supposed to be rooting for Tae-kwang or I-an- Tae-kwang is the more interesting character, but I-an is clearly the kinder person.
