The film exposes the ugliness of human nature and the real-life issue of bullying.

Critical response
[
edit
]
Oh Jin-Woo writing for
Cine21
stated that the film looked at school violence from the perpetrator's point of view. Oh criticised the editing and felt that in spite of energetic performance of actors "due to the somewhat loose editing" "fun of the original story is halved." Oh concluded by writing, "Here, all the sets feel too new, so they don't fit the heavy movie theme, which interferes with immersion."
