Ms. Incognito

Ms. Incognito or should I say, Ms. Inconsistent?

A badly written interactive fiction game, that’s what this drama felt like. The production team gathered an amazing cast, built such promising characters… and then decided to throw it all away after just two episodes. YES, two episodes!

It’s honestly ridiculous how lazy the writing got. The story started so strong, and then nosedived into chaos with zero logic. Yet, because those first two episodes hook you in, you somehow keep watching, like, “Okay, maybe they’ll fix it?” Spoiler: they don’t.

My biggest disappointment was the female lead. She started out with personality, confidence, and potential, but somewhere along the way, she just turned into a punching bag for the antagonist. While the antagonist had all the power, our supposedly rich AF FL didn’t have a single bodyguard or a competent team around her. Just the poor lawyer who’s apparently a one man army, multitasking through every crisis.

Also the title Ms. Incognito? Be so for real. She wasn’t incognito for even five minutes. This woman’s enemies found her faster than I find spoilers on Twitter.

I can’t emphasize enough how much potential this drama had. The characters were unique, layered, and played by such talented actors. And they just… wasted it. Ughhh.

Like I said, it’s basically a badly written interactive fiction game that you can’t stop playing, not because it’s good, but because you need to see how the trainwreck ends.

Definitely a rage bait show unless you binge it like those chinese short dramas

REVIEW UP UNTIL EP11:
it was interesting until the script was just frustrating to watch… its just annoying when the fl is supposed to be this strong bodyguard but when it comes to defending herself she’s so weak and the choices she (and everyone in this show lol) makes is just plain stupid.

its basically rage bait atp.

i enjoyed the show until she left the village- like genuinely, i was entertained. but if i haven’t watched this much of it i would’ve just dropped it. i would recommend this only if you’re bored and looking for something to binge.

after she went back to the main house it just went downhill. like the script is just so BAD. like when they tried firing people and just idk trying to keep people out of the house- why aren’t the locks changed. why aren’t doors just locked in general. this example of the bad script is just one of so many. OH AND SOMEONE TELL ME WHY the fl always puts herself in such bad situations. it’s happened so many times and SHE FAILS LIKE EVERY TIME?! HELLO?!

i’m just so frustrated atp every single thing is making me crash out. can’t even bother writing a proper review lol

EDIT (AFTER WATCHING FINAL EP):
idk if its cuz the show is over.... but its not that bad... HEAR ME OUT

so it was all part of the plan. that's okay. i see now why the script for the end of ep11 is written how its written. if only i binged this whole show, then i'd prob rate this show higher (maybe like an 8/10).

i enjoyed this ending. it definitely felt a tiny bit rushed but i don't mind it that much. it was funny and lighthearted (after the court scene) and i enjoyed seeing baek hyeji and lee don's storylines. not sure what the point of the time skip was tbh like it felt like it had no purpose other than for the fl and ml get together. and idk the show isn't centered on romance and the only times it was shown was when the mc was in muchang with the ml and ig a tiny bit when he went to go see her in seoul. but like idk it just felt a bit rushed and i feel like the kiss scene was just rushed. instead of the time skip, i would've preferred if the mc just moved straight to muchang lol but whatever. i have beef with some parts of the script so one more wouldn't hurt.

as for the actors, tbh i started watching this cuz of jinyoung (fine shyt) and jeon yeobeen cuz i recently watched our movie and it literally changed the trajectory of my life. jinyoung's acting was okay... i saw no faults and it wasn't spectacular yk it was just alright. and jeon yeobeen was good too. idk what else to say about her acting tho cuz her character is supposed to be this tsundere who is indifferent to everything until she moves to muchang. and she portrayed it well. there were times where i was like iffy about the acting but i'll just blame it on the script cuz it was questionable at times lol. i def stayed for joo hyun young (baek hyeji) she's so fun! i liked her since wooyoungwoo but her character in this show was interesting too it was fun watching her act in this.

anyway, its a fun watch just don't think too much into things and try not to stop during cliffhangers lol

overall: 7.5/10
