"The Edge of Growth", a youth comedy that truly interprets the delicate and twisted ideological struggles of adolescence. There is no inspiring youth struggle history, no dog-blooded love fetters, but it makes people seem to see the once ordinary but real self: never a leader with excellent grades and a protagonist halo, never the focus of everyone's attention, Under the appearance of wanting to show your unique self, there is actually a fragile heart that is afraid of being rejected and hurt.
He always looks down on everyone with a arrogant and conceited attitude, but he is actually the one who wants to hide himself. When you are always caught in the whirlpool of comparison with other people's life, you will always live in the darkness that you can't get out of, and you will always live in the world you thought. When you get out of that vortex and face up to your imperfect self, you will find that the world you thought was just looking at it with tinted glasses.
Just like Nadine always thought that the old-fashioned and bald history teacher was actually a warm man with a happy family who taught her to grow up in his own way; the elder brother who always thought that he was born with the aura of the protagonist and didn't care about him was actually behind the family's backside. The pressure takes on the responsibility of the family; the Asian boy who has always been shy and not good at words is the one who truly loves himself. The moment you decide to reconcile with yourself is the beginning of your real growth!
