    I've always thought Korea overdoes it with the pressure. Watching skycastle literally gave me chills, like chill damn. It's not that deep.

    Omo... I don't think I would even survive in that their harsh educational system. I think it can evolve o. Let people not come and die because of grades. And it's not even bad grades. It's crazy for someone to be offing themselves because they got a B instead of an A.
