“Escape of 7″written by “godmother of bloody dramas”Kim Soon-ok has been involved in controversy.

One of screenwriter Kim Soon-ok’s masterpieces is “The Penthouse”. The bloody plot can sometimes make the audience vomit blood, but unfortunately they can’t help but continue watching. In short, it can be called the ceiling of “bloody dramas”. Screenwriter Kim Soon-ok has recently launched a new drama. “The Escape of 7″has used many old faces from “The Penthouse”. After watching three seasons of “The Penthouse”, I can basically understand his routines very well. In the plot of the play, there must be a group of villains who are “kidnapped”by desire and fame and fortune, fighting with each other.

Along with the curiosity of the audience, the ratings of “Escape of 7″have also “opened up”. From the first episode to the fourth episode, the ratings have jumped from 6% to 7%. However, while the ratings are rising, the controversy is also getting louder. It is called a “bad drama”because the plot depicts controversial matters such as compensated dating, childbirth in the classroom, and child abuse. Especially in the first and second episodes, high school art teacher Gao Mingzhi (played by Cho Yoon-hee) received a diamond bracelet from Han Monai (played by Lee Yoo-bi), which caused controversy. Although the play depicts Gao Mingzhi pushing the gift away and saying, “There will be big trouble in accepting such things these days,”Gao Mingzhi smiled after Han Monai put the bracelet into her pocket. The scene depicts a receiving Image of corrupt teacher bribed by students.

Soon, posts criticizing this plot appeared on the audience message board of the official website of “Escape of the Seven”. A viewer who claimed to be a current teacher published a long article titled “Please apologize or issue a statement.”The writer wrote: “Because the TV series is set in everyday places, it can have a sufficient impact on someone’s values. But the scenes depicted in the TV series are too different from reality. Even if it is given to children on campus, Even if I get a candy, I have to refuse or exchange it with other snacks because I am worried about what will happen. In order not to hurt the children’s hearts, we have made efforts in all aspects. We only take pictures of even a small piece of cake given by the children. Then send it back.”

Another viewer also mentioned South Korea’s complete ban on corporal punishment of students in 2010 and the “Kim Young Ran Act” passed in 2015, saying: “For the sake of TV drama ratings, stop using it in a way that is completely unrealistic, full of malice and irritation. Describe the image of a teacher.”

Netizens commented on the situation: “Recently, I have often seen news about teachers committing suicide. At a time when hundreds of thousands of teachers are working hard to normalize teaching rights, this is inappropriate content”, “Please, just watch the TV series as a TV series”, “In addition to teachers, other professional groups have also been portrayed in a corrupt manner”, “Not all teachers are honest”, “It is indeed a sensitive period recently”, etc.
