Our take
An orphaned boy grows up in his childhood friend's house and ends up in his class. Soft, slow and safe.
Synopsis
Haebom was seven when his parents died in an accident and Taesung's family took him in, but Taesung turned distant almost right away and the friendship fell apart. Now they're seniors in high school and in the same class for the first time. Haebom is bullied and struggles to make friends, until Taesung confronts his worst tormentor and starts eating lunch with him. Haebom can't tell what changed, but he sees a chance to fix things.
