SheWantsRevenge

Refreshing and Quality

There are so many good things about this drama, I appreciate the slow burn and the lack of emphasis on physical intimacy and typical relationship plotting and the lack of most drama tropes and plot devices. I also appreciated the attempts to take mental health seriously. I would say the biggest flaw in this show is the writing of the FL character. I will definitely rewatch at some point but unless I missed her background story I feel like she's an incomplete character because I still have no idea why she was with her fiancé, why she has no friends or support systems. I feel like if she had fulfillment and priorities outside of work then she would have never had time to develop an overly personal relationship with her student. Outside of work, her motivations made very little sense to me. Let me know if you agree on the FL or fill me in on what I'm missing because why was she dating someone she didn't like?

Writers did the most

Yes it is good, novel, epic, and quite enjoyable. The only negative is also the downfall because the writers did too much.

First of all it is a risky move to set up a show/movie and have you form attachments and interest only to make the rest of the movie a flashback and never see the main characters again to the end. Imo it never works, and undermines all the creative and detailed plot; but it kind of works here but still enough to be it's undoing.

I like that the writers room had a very detailed history for even the most irrelevant characters but you have to pick and choose what to keep on the screen and a lot of it was unnecessary to be filmed in such detail for this format. I'm sure they already condensed and cut a lot we didn't see but it felt like three different shows crammed into one without doing justice to the ones I was invested in.

I do think it's worth watching for it's novelty but just know what you're getting into.
