Movie: Once Upon a Time in High School
In the South Korean movie Once Upon
a Time in High School which is set in 1978, Hyun-soo
transfers to a school that is notorious for its poor outcomes and brutality. He
joins a bottom-rank class and experiences violence by delinquents. The teachers
are also depicted as authoritarian and brutal (as was common up into the
1970s).
As is often the case in Korean drama the actors playing high school kids are way too old for the part. Also worth noting is that the punishments dished out are far from ‘traditional’ school discipline.
