I pass. I'm lovin' 'Moments at Eighteen' instead. My heart is melting with Ong Sung Woo's role.

My favorite scene from these episodes were the ones where they talk about the law in the class. It was really fun and entertaining to watch and it shows the characters of the students.

I know I am not supposed to trust Beom-jin but I just love Jun in any character he is in and I am liking that Beom-jin is not an entirely evil character. I want him to stay in character but do something great, at least in the future.

To be honest I did not expect to see Jun and Choi Kyu-jin together in a drama being evil teenagers after being the cute bros I adored so much in Avengers Social club. I need to watch that show again to cleanse the image I had of these two.

@missvictrix Thanks!

I'm not watching this, at least not yet. But hurray for wee caps! Maybe DB can cover more dramas these way. We know how challenging it must be to recap in full and most of the time, we have no way of knowing which drama has more audience or draws more discussion. Those who are watching need space to talk about the drama so a weecap and open thread is a great idea!

I'm liking this drama unexpectedly, it's a nice contrast to "Moment at Eighteen", I can actively dislike all this student and wish them the worst.

Thanks for this! I don't understand why not many people watch this drama... to me I've never seen writing so tight and pace so appropriate. There's something so satisfying (for lack of a better word) to watch evil (and immature) kids.

I like the mix of the different parts : investigation, undercover and school. Mr Temp. has a lot of job to do, almost everybody in this school seem to be bad...

This drama has an amazing quality to draw me in despite the cesspool that is the school. Is our gym teacher the only good person in the whole place, among all the administrators, teachers and students? The message is familiar -- money and the drive to get into/stay in the top echelon of society corrupt everyone; parents and children/students and fellow students may be loyal to one another, but there's very little love going around. On the one hand, I want to see Moo-hyuk, So-hyun, hacker friend, and Ms. Prosecutor bring them all down. On the other hand, I'm wondering whether I want to hang out in the swamp long enough to see that happen....

What a mess, they are really awful people, I can't wait for the takedown

I’m loving this show. The intensity. The stakes are so high for both students and adults. I must say I want to see more bitchface prosecutor over the nagging nice PE teacher. Her kindness without the intelligence and power to help is frustrating to watch. Besides the teacher that are involved, it seems the others are just either dumb or playing dumb. I guess that’s what the school is looking for.

It took awhile for me to figure out "Class of Lies" was the same series as "Mr. Temporary" over on VIKI. The wildly variant show titles makes life somewhat difficult. The VIKI title makes it sound like a rom-com, but it certainly doesn't look like a rom-com.

For right now based on just feel i think the one who killed Su Ah is Yoo Beom Jin...Can't wait for Kang Je to find out the whole picture of what happened before and that night and make the ones responsable pay in some way or another and the adults who are part of this...It's quite frighting to see that this kids have no fear of anything and think of death/life sooo little mainly because they know their background will have their backs and whatever they do they will be fine...Rotten to the core and even more when going out into the real world...All in all,all of them are responsable for this tragedy in a way or another and is sad and scary how they don't have any once of guilt and even laugh at it without any remorse...Also why it helps them keep the things shut as each one has a part in this story(the stalker with the room full of pictures,the one who spread the stories)...Beom Jun is the smartest of them all and uses it in his advantage and manipulates them to do his bindings while putting this facade of good guy,or bystander who feels for the unlucky ones something that actually makes him the scariest among his group...Atleast the others are in your face and know what to expect from them...Also,among the actors playing the students Jun is the most known so i guess aside from making his char. look really supicious that is another reason why i suspect he is involved...Just waiting for Kang Je to give them that lesson...I know being on OCN the show won't have problems going raw and dark but still hope it will deliver the justice and with the help of the Procuror the ones who did wrong will be punished...

😱 I have only found out about this post for Class of Lies ep 3-4.. I didn't know DB will continue with this one.. 🤣

(Doubtful Victory recap has made me traumatized a bit.. 😅)

Thanks @missvictrix for the Weecap. At least with some of the students and parents in BEAUTIFUL WORLD guilt gnawed away at their consciences but it looks like Cheonmyeong High School is a school for the formation of sociopaths.

The theme that struck me in this was the theme of bullying. There's a strong undercurrent of bullying throughout - so far we've seen teachers, lawyers and prosecutors be bullied. And so when a student says there's nothing he can do about bullying because that bullying has been completely normalised throughout society, I can't help thinking he's right.

There's an interesting point here too about the theme of justice and using the law to defend yourself. It manifestly cannot defend you from bullying, which we've seen time and time again. If a prosecutor can't use the law to defend herself against bullying, then how can a highschool student?
