It’s revealed that Yeo-wool planned all this, but the show makes no attempt to illustrate how.ĭuring the final episode, High Class regales us with a theme park hand-off, a speedboat getaway and more secret alliances, but they amount to little more than posturing. I have the same issue :the 'Continue' button looks weird and can. Updated Big Sur last night and the issue remains. My Notes isn't crashing but I can't go past the splash screen (the 'Continue' button looks weird and can not be clicked), making it completely unusable. Na-yoon returns again two episodes later. Same problem on Beta 4: Notes reproducibly crashes 1-2 seconds after opening. Na-yoon sits outside a cafe waiting for Ji-yong – who was married to her in Hong Kong – and is mowed down by a van in a shoddily executed sequence.Īfter falling into a coma, she comes back to life in hospital in the following episode, only for Ji-yong to appear in her room and shut off her life support to finish her off once and for all – except that he hasn’t. In an effort to breathe some life into its flagging narrative, the show turned into a full-blown soap opera at the close of episode 12. She has no role to play in Yeo-wool’s mystery but continues to occupy screen time.īack to the main storyline and, despite showing us the face of the intruder in Yeo-wool’s house – confirming without a doubt that it was her husband An Ji-yong (Kim Nam-hee), returned from the dead – High Class maintained for several more episodes the pretence that the identity of the person living inside her home’s Parasite-style bunker was a mystery. Compared to Ji-sun, she’s easy to understand as a character, but, even more than the queen bee she latches onto, her story becomes completely divorced from the main narrative of the show. She has little to no interaction with her teenage son until he gets arrested for possessing marijuana later in the season, nor her plastic-surgeon husband until he accidentally kills a patient – don’t even get me started on why we are forced to witness several of this peripheral character’s waking visions of his pretty dead patient.Ĭha Do-young (Gong Hyun-joo), Ji-sun’s main hanger-on, is a top actress taking a break from her career as she raises her son and engages in an affair with a famous chef, while her husband engages in his own secret life of gambling and affairs.ĭo-young is vain and naive, and her life comes crashing down around her when her husband’s creditors come knocking. Rather than ally with a former enemy for a joint cause, as Yeo-wool and Hwang Na-yoon (Park Se-jin) ultimately do, she engages in pointless scheming and morosely drinks a lot of wine.īeyond having little impact on the story, her motivations are also dreadfully thin.
Over time, her influence waned and she no longer posed a major threat to Song Yeo-wool (Cho Yeo-jeong), the lead protagonist, yet she maintained her sizeable screen time. What is it that these characters actually want? Nam Ji-sun (Kim Ji-soo) was presented early on as the queen bee of the PTA board, parading around the school grounds with her chattering flock of sycophantic hangers-on. Yet after the first few episodes the children largely faded into the background, and the show’s concerns shifted towards investigating long-winded mysteries whose outcomes could be spotted a mile away. As with these prior shows, the main characters of High Class are almost all well-to-do mothers who pulled strings or overcame challenges to get their children into, and keep them in, the illustrious HSC International School on South Korea’s Jeju Island.
