I was supposed to read a material which my teacher was going to take up but i got hooked to watching a Japanese drama "LIFE". Its about school students and the bullying that takes place inside the campus. It was pretty scary. I mean I've never been bullied and haf never come across anyone being bullied. Of course cat fights do happen amongst girls but dis one was way out of my imagination.
Even in most of the Hollywood teenage flicks we see students tripping people whom they consider as weirdos/dorks, passing comments, etc. Makes me appreciate more, the kind of environment we grew up cos nothing of that sort happens here. Maybe it might occur in subtle ways but not overtly.
This drama is about a high school student(Ayumu) who gets into a posh school but her friend who was supposedly to be more brilliant fail to get admission in that school so she gets mad and blames her,disowning their friendship which left Ayumu v.vulnerable when it comes to making friends. The first day she gets to make friend with the popular girl(manami) and her bunch of toy friends(thats wat she takes her friends for. Manami liked to manipulate her friends).
All was well until Hirose sought revenge to Ayumu for taking her position in their circle of friends and that Manami was starting to ignore her and was becoming more closer to Ayumu. So Hirose accused Ayumu of stealing Manami's BF. When this word got out Manami and her friends wasted no time in harassing and bullying Ayumu.
Since Manami was a rich man's daughter she could get away with anything. She's pretty scary. She even tried to kill Ayumu and use her father's power to bankrupt her bf's father cos he was dating his teacher and wanted to break up with Manami. Although initially Ayumu was treated badly by these groups and the classmates being indifferent to the whole thing the later episodes dealt with how Hatori helped Ayumu and befriended her and changed the scenario in the school campus where the authorities tried to hush hush these matters.
I started liking the part where Manami's friend started to realize her evilness and started to disassociate from her. Also when Hirose tried to commit suicide because of Manami the whole class started to talk about her and pointed their fingers towards her for driving her friend to such an extreme step(Hirose survived the fall from the terrace). Ayumu was right in pointing out that Manami didn't had any friends to trust. Manami who was the predator became the prey. She should have known beforehand that "what goes around comes around." Yes Ayumu didn't take revenge but promised to fight against any kind of bullying which also gained respect from her classmates. I think the whole moral here is that no matter what the situation we should fight back. She could've changed her school but she chose to fight back. Oh and i forgot to mention that Ayumu did try to commit suicide also but it was her friend(Hatori) who helped her get back to her feet.
Moral? Choose good friends, don't bully others(it'll come back to u some day or the other) and the need to have a fighting spirit and not let anything take us down cos of mere degrading words/actions by goof-offs. I probably would give 4/5 if i were to rate this drama. 4 and not 5 cos it took so long for Ayumu to fight back and also the director should have cut down from 11 episodes(which i watched it in a day) to maybe 6/7? Overall this was a good drama! I liked it!
