I feel like I got tricked into watching this
Honestly I never write reviews, maybe I'm in a bad mood cos my first ever review being as negative as this one is, feels kinda sad lmao. Well rest assured, it isn't gonna be a long one either.
I'm someone who is able to enjoy the most cliche, cringe, cheese fests, as long as the execution makes it worth it. But man, it has been a while since I watched a drama with such lackluster production. The dialogues feel stiff, the acting is insanely static (it's like they're reading the webtoon lines one by one), the scene direction and cinematography genuinely suck. The music/ost cut in and out at the most random moments it's honestly kinda jarring. It has been a while since a drama was able to bore me like this, so at least props for that.
The revenge plot isn't new at all, I've read a fair share of revenge manhwa of all kinds. Due to that, I was able to guess where the entire story was going just from reading the synopsis. The thing is, I knew what I was in for, I just wished it would at least be an enjoyable predictable watch. No matter how predictable a series is, as long as the production is kinda good I will be seated. This however, was just a waste of time. I really do feel like I was tricked into watching this by the raving reviews considered "helpful". I'm used to shows like this being a bit more polarizing... Oh well, lesson learned.
