What it's about
In 2004, high schooler Moon Dong-eun is brutally bullied by wealthy classmates led by Park Yeon-jin, and is forced out of school. She builds a new life, and as an adult she comes back with a carefully laid plan to make each of them pay.
It was written by Kim Eun-sook (Goblin, Mr. Sunshine) and directed by Ahn Gil-ho.
Why people love it
At the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards it won Best Drama, Best Actress for Song Hye-kyo and Best Supporting Actress for Lim Ji-yeon. On Netflix, Part 1 rose to No. 1 on the global non-English TV chart in its second week.
