This Show Really Pissed Me Off
If I had glasses that showed how many brain cells I lost watching this, they’d be glowing red.
I really don't understand the high ratings honestly but to each their own, shall we dive into the review?
Let’s start from the beginning: when I first read the plot, it sounded interesting. But after watching the actual drama? Big mistake. The first episode gives a completely misleading impression of what the show is actually about, setting you up for a totally different plot than what we get.
The plot is absolutely stupid, cheesy, cringe, and illogical.Since when has the world been so obsessed with people’s body count that they'd literally kill over it? The whole premise gives off major slut-shaming and purity culture energy where people are obsessed over it. It’s just gross.
The female lead was supposedly agoraphobic for years, unable to even step outside her house, but in one day she becomes a normal high-school student who doesn’t care about being perceived, makes friends and gets a boyfriend? Make it make sense.And don’t even get me started on the absurd focus on the magical glasses. Like, how are glasses the first logical step in a murder investigation??? What dots did they even connect? The obsession with the glasses was just conveniently stupid.
Now, let’s talk about the so-called """"plot twists"""".Like Kang Seon Ah being raped by her grandpa and the shady homeroom teacher turning out to be the villain. The whole “rape backstory” felt extremely unnecessary, just thrown in for shock value and to maintain that dark genre. It added zero relevance to the actual plot. We didn’t even get context or depth, it was just there for trauma points.
Then we get to the teacher, who also sees the “S Lines” and starts acting like a full-on cult leader. Her final monologue to the FL was:
“Can’t you feel their desire to see the lines? I’m a mere mouthpiece for their longing.”
I started LAUGHING.Like girl, be serious. The writers really tried to make this “deep” and “symbolic,” as if society is desperate to know who people are sleeping with. Newsflash: they’re not. This isn’t profound, it’s just embarrassing.
I’ll stop here before I write a whole essay, but if you made it this far, just trust me and avoid this ridiculous drama that honestly should’ve been a short movie—or better yet, never aired at all.
