The World of Us

Bullied girl meets new neighbor during summer break in a friendship that flickers like a dying bulb. School resumes and the hallways turn cold, testing whether kindness can stick when peer pressure hits. A quiet 2010s Korean drama carried by two young leads who say everything without shouting.
