* ValuesDissonance: Made a bit clear in the fan translation of the manga, parents beating their children (albeit adult) until they're bruised and bleeding? Fine. Teachers disciplining their students? Fine. Women of "age" (post 24) having relationships with barely legals (18) definitely not. The TeacherStudentRomance thing still seems frowned upon, so there's that though, Korea.

* MoralEventHorizon: The infamous NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Jin-Ho gave to one of his '''female''' classmates upon finding out she and other girls picked on Ji-Soo. Some people see it like she deserved it (Ji-Soo's face ended up all beaten to a pulp for trying to fight back against three girls and they stripped off her skirt). Some other people thought Jin-Ho lost a lot of character value after this (up to the point of stop reading in some cases) because he was never called back for hurting a girl (of note here is that the same characters Jin-Ho stood up for told him he went too far by the way). The bullies themselves just took it as it came (the leader of said gang said it was fault of the bully girl in the first place, even when he told them not to pick any fights just for the sake of it)
** It's worth pointing out that the school faculty punished Jin-Ho by caning.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Jin-Ho is eventually shown to be in the right for excessively beating up a female bully who couldn't even fight back by having everyone agree that she deserved to get beaten up.
** Where, exactly, do any characters say that Jin-Ho was justified in doing that? The only thing anyone says that remotely resembles that is this: after the fight between Jin-Ho and Hee-Chul, Hee-Chul and Han Sang-Hoo (another member of Hee-Chul's gang) talked about whether Jin-Ho could have won the fight if the teacher hadn't intervened (with the implication that they've never before met anyone who could win a fight against Hee-Chul), Hee-Chul says that Jin-Ho has a 50% chance of winning, and then he says, "Don't get upset about that! How much does losing a duel matter? After all, we're not true gangsters… and if we objectively examine the situation, it's clear that Seo-Young was in the wrong. So, let's forget about all this." In other words, Hee-Chul was telling Sang-Hoo that the female bully (Seo-Young) was wrong to do what she did to Ji-Soo, and that Sang-Hoo and the rest of the gang shouldn't continue holding a grudge against Jin-Ho and his friends.



* UnfortunateImplications: Excessive violence is apparently ok if it's against a woman: Jin is scolded for picking a fight with another boy who was trying to defend said girl rather than for beating a female bully who couldn't fight back to a pulp. In addition to that the boy defending said female bully ends up admitting that she deserved to getting beaten to a pulp for bully another girl. Given the content of other works by author he may simply hate women.
** That girl (Yoon Seo-Young) had beaten up Ji-Soo about as much as Jin-Ho beat up Seo-Yeong, and also forcibly pulled off Ji-Soo's skirt. And the story doesn't really defend Jin-Ho's actions either, because other "good" characters (Jin-Ho's friend Young-Gi and the teacher Hae-Young) say that Jin-Ho went too far. Also, it's never stated that Jin-Ho was punished for fighting with that other boy (Yang Hee-Chul) '''instead of''' for hitting Seo-Young -- for all we know, he was punished for both.[[hottip:*:What the teacher says is "I know that you took part in the fight to defend Ji-Soo, but you nevertheless deserve to be punished! No matter what the reasons, fighting is absolutely forbidden."]] And Hee-Chul wasn't defending Seo-Young just because she's a girl, it was also because she belonged to Hee-Chul's gang of delinquents, who had started a {{cycle of revenge}} with Jin-Ho and his friends eight chapters earlier. What's more, one of the other guys in that gang, Jang Min-Seok, was also willing to hit a girl (specifically, Ji-Soo), on two different occasions, both times with almost no provocation (unlike Jin-Ho). So basically, the story portrays Jin-Ho as being somewhat in the wrong for excessive violence, and does the same for Hee-Chul, but portrays Bae Jung-Hwa and Jang Min-Seok (who started the whole conflict -- they went into Jin-Ho's classroom looking to start some trouble there, harrassed Eun Ami, then assaulted Ji-Soo when she told them to leave Ami alone, and continued to seek revenge on Ji-Soo for daring to stand up to them) as being the worst ones.

And the story doesn't really defend Jin-Ho's actions either, because other "good" characters (Jin-Ho's friend Young-Gi and the teacher Hae-Young) say that Jin-Ho went too far. Also, it's never stated that Jin-Ho was punished for fighting with that other boy (Yang Hee-Chul) '''instead of''' for hitting Seo-Yeong -- for all we know, he was punished for both.[[hottip:*:What the teacher says is "I know that you took part in the fight to defend Ji-Soo, but you nevertheless deserve to be punished! No matter what the reasons, fighting is absolutely forbidden."]] And Hee-Chul wasn't defending Seo-Yeong just because she's a girl, it was also because she belonged to Hee-Chul's gang of delinquents, who had started a {{cycle of revenge}} with Jin-Ho and his friends eight chapters earlier. What's more, one of the other guys in that gang, Jang Min-Seok, was also willing to hit a girl (specifically, Ji-Soo), on two different occasions, both times with almost no provocation (unlike Jin-Ho). So basically, the story portrays Jin-Ho as being somewhat in the wrong for excessive violence, and does the same for Hee-Chul, but portrays Bae Jung-Hwa and Jang Min-Seok (who started the whole conflict -- they went into Jin-Ho's classroom looking to start some trouble there, harrassed Ami Eun, then assaulted Ji-Soo when she told them to leave Ami alone, and continued to seek revenge on Ji-Soo for daring to stand up to them) as being the worst ones.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Jin-Ho is eventually shown to be in the right for excessively beating up a female bully who couldn't even fight back by having everyone agree that she deserved to get beaten up.



* UnfortunateImplications: Excessive violence is apparently ok if it's against a woman: Jin is scolded for picking a fight with another boy rather than for beating a female bully who couldn't fight back to a pulp.
