Two Simps and a sociopath
this drama in infuriating in a good and in a bad way.
it is really fascinating to see a drama full of only shitty people with few exceptions and in this sense. they made a great drama.
watching it is a frustrating experience which is comparable to what living with a real sociopath could feel like.
our protagonist is Bek ah Jin, a girl who needs to grow up quickly and learn how to defend her self from the adults in their life and try to survive in a cruel world.
in the first half of the drama you can kind of sympathize with her (to a certain degree) but in the second half you just want to see her dead.
how much can your sad story really justify your actions? apparently, for beh ah Jin, the answer is: EVERYTHING.
this is what living with a sociopath probably feels like: they are always the victim, you make them behave that way, it is all your fault. etc etc.
what is not clear from the dynamics explored in the drama is WHY her 2 Simps friends stick by her side.
manipulators are charming, they love bomb you , make you feel special and on the top of world to lure you in and then control you, but beh ah Jin doesn't have to do shit.
she treats her frienda like disposable tools form the very beginning and isnt shy about it.
you never see do anything for them, not even "bribing" her poor friend to keep him close.
nothing. she is always complaining that she is the victim or that and this, is all their fault bla bla bla.
Guilt tripping someone can only take you so far.. but these 2 are willing to die for her
. like .. literally.
they clearly know she is the crazy one commiting crimes left and right but still, they stick to her side pretending in your heads she is a poor lady who needs to be saved.. mainly from herself.
they all know in full details what she does , especially her best friend, but somhow, they still think there is a spark of humanity in this empty sheel of a human.
I liked that beh ah Jin , is not the perfect mastermind. media portray sociopaths and psychopaths like geniuses which is true in some cases, they have a high IQ, but not all manipulators are super intelligent, beh ah Jin being one of them.
she never knows when to stop, even when it clearly will backfire. she always exaggerate and gets in more trouble.
during the drama she keeps saying she just wants a normal life, but that's just another lie she feeds to everyone.
and let me add that without her minions she wouldn t have anything. she is unable to provide or defend herself. she is too dependent on these 2 Simps.. but they never get anything more then crumbs of her attentions.
even in the end, they literally sacrifice them selves to "save" her ass.
I still don't know if the ending is good or disappointing.
there is no justice in this world, that's basically the message throughout.
maybe she should have been the one to die at her pick, just like she always wanted.
let's talk about the drama before this becomes a beh ah Jin essay.
acting? good. the main female lead is pretty good and believable as a white canvas empty of emotions.
the best friend... I see him in many dramas and he always look the same.
the others actors were all pros and did an excellent job.
entertaining value? pretty good. it keeps you glued to the screen until the last second.
overall all if you like flawed characters and a good ( still very fictional) portrait of bad people , this is a good drama
