A circus of misplaced emotions

I don’t know what I was expecting from this drama, but it definitely wasn’t this circus. The plot had potential, like most pre-Republican stories, but again the writer forgot how to actually use it. The female lead is on a revenge mission, but her idea of revenge is pulling out a gun 99 times and only shooting once. The rest of the time she’s busy kissing the ML and smudging her cheap red lipstick all over his face 🤡. No investigation, no planning, no brains. Just 💋

And somehow, she also wants to save society. Like girl, you can’t even save your own storyline.

The ML was all action, no delivery. Though I’ll give him some credit for doing our useless FL's share of investigation on her behalf. His reaction after killing his brother was just weird fake guilt, especially when both leads were hooking behind his back.

The SML wasn’t some tragic hero either. He claimed he loved her and dreamed of marrying her, but goes missing whenever his presence needed. Both times the FL was humiliated by that leacher man sent by his own father to rape her, this So called lover boy was nowhere to be found. Instead He followed his traitor father like a loyal puppy, ignored her pain and loss altogether. In fact He didn’t even try to hold his father accountable for conspiring against the nation. And the one time he “thought of her,” his brilliant plan was… running away. Not standing with her to face the odds Just running. Peak spineless energy.

So no, I didn’t feel bad for him at all. A man without backbone deserves the fall he gets.

Still, I liked that the story gave him some dignity in the end. The FL and ML went their separate ways, and she stayed engaged to the SML… or at least that’s how I interpreted her staring at the ring like it was a life decision instead of a piece of metal.

If the writer deliberately wrote this nonsense to make people hate these characters then I will this was an extremely good attempt but the writer was expecting as to feel sympathetic with them .. then I am sorry my sympathy has it's own IQ ..i can't feel it for these characters clowns even if I want to.
