One High School Heroes – K-drama Episode 6 Recap & Review
Bad Guys
Episode 6 of ONE: High School Heroes starts where we left off with Ui-Gyeom uncontrollably beating up In-Kyu. In-Kyu is begging for his life, but Ui-Gyeom, who feels suffocated by the thoughts of his brother and father, keeps hitting him until Yoon-ki has to step in and hold him back.
Yoon-ki asks Ui-Gyeom to restrain himself since they cannot be the bad guys. Later, Yoon-ki gets a call that Ji-Sung is awake at the hospital and rushes to see him.
While waiting for the train, Ui-Gyeom overhears some students talking about a video of them that is posted online. The students suggest sending a list of all the bad guys at their school so the masked heroes can care for them.
At the hospital, Ji Sung cannot talk, but he recognises Yoon-ki, making him thrilled that Ji-Sung is awake. On the way out of the hospital, Yoon-ki says he has two more people on his list to take care of and vows not to let them go.
Da-bin talks to someone at home and agrees to start working the following week. Seok-tae arrives and tells her he hired someone to clean Soo-Kyum's room the next day. Seok-tae does not mention his name and just says that the room hinders Ui-Gyeom's concentration.
Da-bin asks Seok-tae if he has noticed that Ui-Gyeom has come home with injuries lately. She is angry that Seok-tae only concentrates on the results. He keeps pushing Ui-Gyeom like he did with Soo-Kyum, and now he is getting into fights.
Ui-Gyeom arrives home, and Seok-tae asks him to hand over the Walkman. Ui-Gyeom refuses, but Seok-tae insists. Ui-Gyeom tells him that the Walkman is his brother's treasure, and Seok-tae has been pushing him to be like Soo-Kyum.
Ui-Gyeom tells Seok-tae that Ui-Gyeom loved the Walkman because the music could take him to a place without his father. Seok-tae is too stunned to speak. Ui-Gyeom continues and blames his brother's death on their mother and father.
The following day, Yoon-ki takes Ui-Gyeom to deal with the third target, Pi Dao-yi. However, Dao-yi is aware of their vigilante tactics and is waiting for them. This time, Ui-Gyeom and Yoon-ki are overwhelmed. Dao-yi and his gang remove the red masks, and Dao-yi instantly recognises Yoon-ki. He asks if Yoon-ki is after them for revenge on Ji-Sung, who is in the hospital.
Ui-Gyeom and Yoon-ki cannot hold on, so they decide to escape. Dao-yi and the gang chase after them. Seung-joon, doing deliveries at his part-time job, sees them being chased and gives them a ride. Ui-Gyeom is angry that Yoon-ki didn't tell him about the revenge. Also, his injuries are noticeable now, so he cannot go home. Ui-Gyeom asks Seung-joon to allow him to sleep over.
Seung-Joon takes Ui-Gyeom to sleep at the boxing gym since he, too, cannot take him home, or his parents will be concerned. Ui-Gyeom realises that Seung-joon can talk, unlike his cold aura in school. Seung-joon tells him that he held the first position in boxing until he joined high school. He started hanging out with Hong-II and Seung-ki, getting into trouble, or else he would have been preparing for the Asian competition.
Seung-Joon warns Ui-Gyeom about hanging out with Yoon-ki. He suggests that Ui-Gyeom put on his headphones, continue studying seriously like before, or decide to take up boxing instead of fighting. Ui-Gyeom ignores his parents' calls. He texts his father that he will spend the night at a friend's house and switches off his phone.
Meanwhile, Nam-yeop, In-kyu, and Dao-yi report Yoon-ki's recent ambushes to Ki-soo. It turns out that the four of them were responsible for what happened to Ji-Sung, which landed him in the hospital and a coma for over two years. They want Ki-Soo to take care of Yoon-ki and Ui-Gyeom. Ki-soo asks Nam-Yeop to pay him more this time.
The following day, Ki-soo arrives at school and enters Seung-ki's band room. He tortures a student, asking about Yoon-ki, but the student does not know him. Seung-ki and his crew arrive, and Ki-soo asks them to bring Yoon-ki to him. Seung-ki charges ahead as usual, but Ki-soo beats him up.
At the end of the episode, one of the Seung-ki crew members calls Yoon-ki and Ui-Gyeom to the room. Ui-Gyeom wants to charge ahead and confront Ki-Soo as usual, but Yoon-ki asks him to stand back. Yoon-ki does not wish for Ui-Gyeom to be involved in his business with Ki-soo.
The Episode Review
Ui-Gyeom stands up to his father and mother. It is a turning point for his character since he finally vents years of suppressed pain, aggression, and all the pent-up emotions. He feels his parents were responsible for his brother's death as they constantly pressured him.
The dynamics between Ui-Gyeom and Yoon-ki are slightly shaken when Ui-Gyeom realises that Yoon-ki lied about his real motives. Ui-Gyeom and Seung-joon get closer as Seung-joon tries to talk him out of getting into constant fights. Will their newfound closeness and Ji-sung's regaining consciousness affect the Ui-Gyeom and Yoon-ki's duo in the upcoming episodes?
The threats to Ui-Gyeom and Yoon-ki escalate as Ki-soo and his clique come into the picture. Ki-soo's fighting is better compared to Ui-Gyeom and Yoon-ki. Will Yoon-ki fight him or ask for that favour that Geol-jae owes him?
