That was my frustration FROM the beginning, and the sticking point seems to be that the father stated over and over, affecting Hyeongoh's mind/will, that Hyeongoh needed to take care of his own problems. That mentality kept Hyeongoh trapped and the mother frustrated, until she blew up and Heyongoh got physically attacked in her presence.
Clearly, the father, Mr. Supreme, was not aware, the mother was only partially aware, and Hyeongoh felt trapped--had to solve the problem (which he tried to do by not making waves, trying to appease his tormentors).
Now that the parents know, they are, logically, transferring him.
Namsoo ended up being the "variable" needed to disturb the status quo of bullying. He was also the Agent of Justice. He was an answer to a heart's cry. He had to be smart and strong enough, and also crazy enough, to get it done. So that's exactly who he is. He adores his brother and did ANYTHING required to accomplish it. But he did it only upon provocation: he validated they deserved it.
If they had not bullied Hyeongoh and attacked Namsoo, they'd not be harmed.
They earned their woes.
But yeah, without that stupid rule by the father and lack of proper communication between mother and father, transferring was not an option in Hyeongoh's mind.
He can transfer but that doesn't guarantee that the bullying will stop. You saw that the president was at a new school for less than 5 minutes before someone tried to mess with him for being disabled.
Bullying is a really bad problem in Korea so just transferring usually doesn't end the problem. His parents transferred him because it reached a point where it would be ridiculous for anyone to stay.
It's like some social madness. It would NEVER occur to me, not in middle school or high school, to make fun of a handicapped student. That they laugh out loud, allow bullying, etc, is so insane to me. Just so evil. That the teacher didn't say or do anything in both cases...geesh. But the pres deserved it. I wish they'd show an "extra" chapter where his life ends up worse and worse and worse....
Minor Pet Peeve with this story.
So wait, all it would have taken for the MC to get transferred to another school and stop the torture (cuz this went above bullying) was for him to tell his parents the truth and for them to use the dad's high position to transfer him to a better school as apposed to staying there with those ignorant idiots? I don't get why didn't he do that in the first place or why? This is kind of selective smartness where I never really got to see 'one of smartest kids in the class' really try to think of an escape means (before the transfer stepped in).
Also, if everyone knew the bully was the police chief's son then I should think that at least the other kids parents or the school board should know the son of an even higher ranking person from an influential family. Its not like the bullies were hiding it as many of his torture were photographed and filmed, you mean none of the dad's associates saw this guy going through this? I know this manwha definitely shows the raw realism of Korean school bullying in that it's not handled properly at all and even ignored as seen, but its even more realistic in Korean society to know the children/heirs of prominent families and to not mess with them, and to even attempt to befriend them as high connections are as good as gold there, idk maybe I missed something,lol (just my opinion)
Great read though!
