was seated until it was ragebait...
updated review:
I follow the main actors, that's why I was excited for this!
but what an awkward first episode! the story seemed very flat at first...
what did not help our FL is the weak initial vengeance trope... episode 1 starts the story at a random time: why her plan starts now? what does she know? why does she hate everyone so bad but has no clue what happened?
Eventually our FL grows in her role, by now (ep8) she is great, but i'm still not sure on her character: she is smart, weary, vengeful... but is she reckless? will the story always magically put her ahead of everyone and we dont know how? Good character depiction is also a production effort: can we see enough of her planning especially when things go wrong instead of plot armour? we don't get enough transparency in what is actually going on in the FL perspective, so for the viewer her actions just look random. sometimes she panics, sometimes she drops the best ruse... ?!
WHO IS SHE BEYOND HER REVENGE PLAN?
also i can say the same thing for ML!!
script is very revenge- plot intense, it looks like characters have nothing else to do so we don't have a lot to build around the revenge.
i usually like melodrama but the story twists much like ragebait.
beautiful cinematography and visuals...the aesthetic and world building is very nice but it still lacking richness ! i don't know yet if this drama will be memorable!
The ost is very dramatic and beautiful!
I'm following along for now, the story doesn't seem very complex: i am curious enough about the main couple to keep watching!
update: i am dropping it... this show has 2 GREAT episodes, and the rest was yoyo for me.
