the queen’s gambit but make it revenge
I had no expectations when I started this drama because I discovered it one day randomly whilst I was bored scrolling through the upcoming section on Netflix lol
from the first episode it hooked me! I do admit that the short run time did caught me off guard cause I was expecting at least a 40-50 min episode but it did work okay in the beginning but ultimately not much by the end
the revenge was rather disappointing cause in the end it was revealed that he only abandoned her and her mom due to his inferior complex towards his own genius daughter and the drive of wanting to get better but stuck and thinking his family must have been a reason why he couldn’t do his best
in that moment I was like “Ofc it’s that reason, men”
it felt rather anti climatic because by the end for me it wasn’t clear if she has come to love shogi and wanted to continue it basically her goal
it’s like through out her revenge we just lost the goal
I feel like if it was given 2 more episodes or a longer run time than maybe we could’ve gotten a bit more on the story cause the ending it felt just super underwhelming and that’s problem about revenge stories cause it can either be done well or we just don’t know how to write it
it’s a shame tho cause it started off strong only to end up lackluster
