Oh Jin-Woo writing for Cine21 stated that the film looked at school violence from the perpetrator's point  of view. Oh criticised the editing and felt that inspite of energetic performance of actors "due to the somewhat loose editing" "fun of the original story is halved." Oh concluded by writing, "Here, all the sets feel too new, so they don't fit the heavy movie theme, which interferes with immersion."
