Revenge served cold—with a random side of romance no one ordered
A Brutal Tale of Vengeance That Deserved Sharper Writing and Less Cringe shi*y Flirting
✨ THE GOOD:
Song Hye-kyo went full iceberg – Cold, calculating, and finally given a role with teeth.
Bullying revenge arc? Intense, cathartic, and painfully real. You’ll root for Moon Dong-eun like she’s Batman in heels althghout tbh that's an exagiration .
Villains you love to hate – Truly punchable. That alone makes it binge-worthy.
Visual tone & direction – Moody, polished, and dripping with tension.
😑 THE “WHO ASKED FOR THIS ROMANCE?” MOMENTS:
The love interest = personality void – Bro, blink twice if you're being held hostage by this script.
Romantic subplot felt taped on – Like someone whispered “but what if... feelings?” and ruined the vibe.
Execution dragged – So many scenes stretch like chewing gum. Tension, then nap, then more tension.
💢 THE “GLORIOUS BUT INFURIATING” FACTOR:
The revenge is satisfying... until the plot hands you a middle finger and refuses to go deeper.
It’s not bad. It’s just not enough. It flirts with greatness and settles for “meh, that'll do.”
🎯 VERDICT:
"Like watching someone light a fire—then use a wet napkin to fan the flames."
Watch if: You live for cold vengeance, trauma-fueled justice, and poetic punishments.
Skip if: You hate pointless romance, boring male leads, or plots that pull back just when it should hit harder.
Best paired with: ☕ A black coffee, no sugar—just like Dong-eun’s personality and soul.
