* ''Webcomic/{{Shark}}'' is decidedly something of a deconstruction of the "Bully Revenge" subgenre common in webtoons. Although one of the driving forces of the story is the antagonism between the protagonist and his former bully, it's executed in a way that's different from and even antithetical to conventions common in the aforementioned subgenre. Not only is Seokchan, the [[TheBully protagonist's bully]], the one seeking revenge on the protagonist, but Woosol, the protagonist and the victim of Seokchan's torment, is determined to move forward with his own life and not let Seokchan control him. Seokchan's obsession with revenge is depicted as toxic and destructive, whereas Woosol's [[{{Determinator}} determination]] to move forward and improve himself is depicted as positive and admirable. Furthermore, Seokchan pointedly ''isn't'' important to Woosol, as he refuses to waste his life obsessing over some lowlife and instead trains hard to realize his own aspirations. If ''Shark'' has [[AnAesop anything to tell the audience]], it's to not let those who've wronged you control your life. Stand up for yourself, but also understand that those who bully and demean you simply aren't worth the mental energy of holding a grudge against.
