My mind just reflected on a Korean series I saw a few months ago, and it's so relatable to what's currently happening in my part of the world...
Sometimes we come across some movies and series, and we will be like "No, this can't happen in our world", even when it looks so real and realistic. I'm not talking about the sci-fi and magical movies we see.
This year, I came across the Korean masterpiece Duty After School, one of the best series that didn't receive the limelight. I laughed at the idea and the storyline, but today, my mind just reflected on it, relating it to what's happening in my own country, and I can say that the series is a big reality. I must applaud the scriptwriter. It's as if the Koreans are seeing things ahead. Lol
Yeah, the situation is such that students, I mean high school students, are made to enrol in the army to help the country fight the danger in the land, not just to help to fight the danger but to protect themselves too. It was just like a play, funny and stressful training was imposed on the students while being caged inside their school and not knowing that the world had crumbled, and it's remaining just a few people left in the world. They got to know what was happening when they went outside the school premises to practice a real gunshot, and when coming back, they got attacked by the deadly creatures that had taken over their world. That was when they knew the importance of the training they were going through.
Now, this is just a series and hasn't happened anywhere, I think. But what is currently happening in my country is almost leading to the story of this series. Although it may not happen, a lot of people have been jokingly suggesting that students in my country should be trained in a military way to help them defend themselves. It sounds funny, right? Yes, it does.
This is it;
There have been numerous kidnappings of students(pupils) in large numbers by bandits, and the matter has gotten out of hand because no one, including the government, seems to have any power over the bandits. The recent kidnaps are 42 students, and for over 2 weeks, they've been in the dens of these bandits. Right now, everyone is scared to send their children to school. Maybe these children should be trained and armed to protect themselves when these bandits attack their schools. It isn't funny at all. This is exactly what happened in this Duty After School series; the matter was above the government, so they had to deploy students to protect themselves.
Thanks for reading.
