young-il k @jemy009 Feb 1 I think it's a ittle bit overvalued. See more Stanley T @RT14325465 06/08/2023 "I FELT THAT I WAS WATCHING MY HIGH SCHOOL LIFE ON SCREEN." "WAR OF PUBERTAL HORMONES" The story is about 8th grader Eun-hee and her high school life. Themes such as puberty and coming of age are present. This is a typical story of not all but almost all Asian and Korean high school students—typical family problems and conflicts, and how they are being resolved quickly most of the time. The skyrocketing hormones affect the emotions brought on by puberty. Sexual identity is being established by these youngsters at this time. Puppy Love and high school friendships, Stealing, which is a common occurrence during puberty, are tackled. I would also like to point out how accurately they describe parents' emotions when it comes to health problems concerning their children. The stages of despair (when they found out Eun-hee needed a surgical procedure) and acceptance (when the family gathered for dinner and tried to cheer each other up) were relatable.

We forget that that kind of hatred and abuse is not natural nor necessary nor admirable. See more 09/10/2021 I absolutely loved it. I wish it went for another hour or better yet, a series.

At it's heart, we have a coming of age tale, but some of the plot elements are forced and just don't feel natural. Set in 1994, a 14 year old girl is in search of truth and it's a long journey. Final Score: 6.0/10 See more Read all reviews
