"Glass Mask" is a revenge drama about Kang Yi Kyung, a girl who has been mistreated her entire life by her mother and sister Seo Yeon, who believe she is the daughter of a murderer. She ends up being framed for a crime she didn't commit, only for Seo Yeon to save the love of her life, Ha Joon. To cover up the truth, Seo Yeon "kills" Yi Kyung, who survives and returns with a new identity, seeking revenge.
The first half of the drama is excellent; the entire development is very well done, until the moment when Yi Kyung is betrayed by everyone in her family, including her father, who was the only person she trusted. When Yi Kyung returns as Seo Jung Ah, the story didn't deliver anything I expected. Where was the revenge? The episodes passed, and it seemed like nothing happened. This ending with everyone happy wasn't something I could swallow, especially after everything Seo Yeon did... she ends the drama as the victim who needed to be saved.
The romance between Yi Kyung and Seon Jae is very dull, the two have no chemistry on screen, literally none, and this was one of the story's biggest problems, since the revenge is weak, so they should have at least won over the audience with the couple... but even with that, they couldn't.
