She's the Last Weapon (2022)

Drama volutamente inusuale tra violenza e psicologia disturbata. Non per un pubblico su larga scala.

Inaspettato e singolare, oscuro, violento, psicologicamente malsano, sicuramente disturbato. La trama è piuttosto illogica, i passaggi spesso esasperati, non c'è una linearità, non ha senso o, almeno, non come si intende normalmente quando si descrive una serie.
Riesce a spiazzare? Sì. E' contorto? Abbastanza. E' una visione spensierata? Assolutamente no.
C'è un tema, un'idea alla base di questo drama, che è stata volutamente sviluppata e portata in scena in una maniera davvero unica e - immagino per i più - non particolarmente apprezzabile.
Un drama che non posso dire abbia fallito nel suo intento, ma che si sia posto un intento davvero sopra le righe, un po' al limite. Qui siamo oltre il concetto dell'essere originale, è un prodotto criptico e per pochi, sicuramente non lo stereotipo del drama da intrattenimento.
La valutazione negativa è prettamente legata alla percezione personale, non alla qualità o riuscita della serie: non mi è piaciuto, non è quello che stavo cercando, non è un genere che fa per me. Ma penso che possa essere apprezzato da altri palati.

Strangely amazing

I really came into this not expecting much. The description sounded enticing, so I decided to try it out. After finishing, I can honestly say I'm quite dumbfounded. It was awesome in its own weird way, and I don't think I've ever watched a show that has made me laugh in confusion and disbelief more than this show has (in a good way).

Liked:
- Great acting by everyone in this show! Especially loved SGH has Yeo Reum, as he played his character very convincingly. Not to say everyone else didn't do an equally great job, it's just that he stood out to me the most with his crazy character.

- Well done action shots and fighting scenes, I was really impressed that it was this good for a miniseries. And the guns weren't blurred! Yay!

- Quirky music that felt out of place, but fit really well given what the drama is going for. It lightened the mood, even in the darkest situations.

- Dark comedy is done really well! I enjoyed that aspect of the show greatly.

- Great intensity in the second half!

- Just the overall quirky vibe mixed with action/thriller was something right up my alley.

Disliked:
- A certain common trope was used, which I didn't really care for. It didn't matter too much, but it was just a little annoying/unnecessary. That's the only really tropey thing in this show though.

- I won't dive into this spoiler, but I was really confused/annoyed by a certain part of the show in the second half. Like I'm not sure what really happened there, but if it didn't happen, things could've ended up drastically different.

- First half definitely pales in comparison to the second half.

As for this show's rewatch value, I'd say it's very rewatchable! It's pretty short, so I'm looking forward to rewatching it later with better quality subs.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this show if you want to watch a great quirky teen action show. I do wish it was longer so that we could find out everyone's backgrounds a little more, but given the length of this show, I'm very satisfied. If you were looking for a more romance-centered show, this may not be the show for you, as romance was definitely not a focus of the drama (the romance is there but it's not your typical lovey-dovey romance drama). Well, that was my first review, so I hope it was helpful for you. Adios!
