Program Note
Three teenagers, Chang, Wang, and Han, fresh out of high school, decide to share a deep, dark secret, hoping to forge a friendship that would last beyond graduation. As they compete to see who has committed the most heinous offense, their game of truth takes an unexpected turn when Wang raids a street gang in search of new secrets to share and memories to make.
The youth in Bad Education is a far cry from what we’ve come to expect from Taiwanese melodramas. The youth in this movie is just an immature brat who has no sense of good and evil, and is unaware of law and order and the fear of violence in the world to come. After a night of battling for their fragile egos and facing the horror of the world’s abyss, they come to understand that growing up comes at a price. You Are the Apple of My Eye (2011), actor, Kai Ko, goes to the opposite end of the spectrum of his acting career with Bad Education. (CHO Jaewhee)
