Seeing Beyond The Filter
I give Filter a 10 out of 10 because it truly has everything. This drama delivers comedy that you don’t even see coming, friendships that feel mutual and real, supportive family relationships (which is so refreshing to see), sci-fi elements that add a mysterious edge, and case-solving moments that actually had me on the edge of my seat.
What makes Filter stand out most is the message it sends. It makes you reflect on beauty standards, gender roles, and the expectations that society forces on us. It shows how both women and men are often trapped by unrealistic beauty standards shaped by social media and societal pressure. What really stood out to me is how it explores the emotional and mental struggles people face just to “fit in” or feel valued. It’s not just about vanity—it’s about acceptance, identity, and being seen for who you truly are.
One of the biggest lessons I took from Filter is the truth about first impressions. Yes, first impressions go a long way—but this drama shows that your first impression of someone might not be the truth. Sometimes it’s just an illusion—a version of that person you created in your mind based on looks, rumors, or surface-level details. It reminds us that people are so much more than what they appear to be at first glance.
And the romance? Beautiful. Su Cheng Cheng and Tang Qi’s love is so pure and sincere that you can’t help but smile every time they’re together. Their relationship isn’t just about falling in love—it’s about misunderstandings, healing, and relearning each other along the way. That’s what makes their story so special and meaningful.
Filter really taught me that beauty is temporary, but someone’s soul, kindness, and genuine heart are what truly matter. It makes you question: Are you seeing people for who they really are—or just through a filter?
I love that this drama wasn’t just emotional or deep—it was also funny, entertaining, and just fun to watch. The humor balanced out the serious themes perfectly. It’s rare to find a drama that can do both so well.
Overall, Filter is more than just a drama—it’s a reminder to all of us to stop judging people by appearances and start valuing the things that really last. Highly recommended.
overview
This drama does an excellent job blending sci-fi elements with real-world social issues like beauty standards, giving it a refreshing twist compared to other dramas with similar themes.
The concept of "seeing beyond the filter" applies not just to physical beauty but also to the emotional walls people build around themselves.
I really appreciated how the supporting characters actually contributed to the story and weren’t just there for filler—they each had their own growth and meaningful moments.
The balance between comedy and deeper reflection was handled really well. One minute you’re laughing, and the next, you’re genuinely thinking about your own biases and assumptions.
The romantic pacing was steady—not rushed or dragged out—which made Su Cheng Cheng and Tang Qi’s relationship feel believable and earned.
First impressions as illusions is such a clever theme throughout, not only in relationships but in how we view everything—even ourselves.
Watching this drama reminded me how much social media filters can change the way we see the world and even our own self-worth.
Worth rewatching, not just for the plot but for catching all the small symbolic details you might miss the first time.
