Tong: Memories (2016)

Now THIS is what I call a Korean action drama!!!

As others stated this is a 12 series mini short. Some episodes are just 13 minutes while some were a little over 7-9 minutes. Too short for my taste but I enjoyed every episode.

The one kid who became known to be the best fighter on the streets barely fought. I don't know if his martial arts skills aren't as strong as the others but the one time he did fight he laid out the leader which was hilarious and bad to the bone altogether.
The one time he did get hit was by his middle school's best friend. That guy was a total douche. His pride was so in the way that he literally got beat in every scene he fought. He did have some mad fighting skills but it went for nought a lot. Even his posse could fight better and none of them got beat after they were beat by the main two male characters.

Some of the 'bad guys' looked a little too old to be in high school too.

As one commenter mentioned females showing up and doing a stare down, I just knew they were going to have some fight scenes but no. It cut away to something else,

I whooped and clapped when I saw Ma Dong Seok doing his infamous slapping in one of the episodes. He's grown on me since Bad Guys.

I was upset about the ending. Korea loves to toy with martial arts fans by making episodes seem like they're going to continue only to not have any more shows.

Forgive the low rating for rewatch values. I haven't rewatched any Korean action dramas that I've already watched. Even though this is too short and wasn't continued there's no need to rewatch especially since I know how it ends.
