Bruteforce Luxury
I almost turned this off because i wasn't in the mood for a new money rich ppl kdrama, even with one of my favorite actresses in the lead, but i'm glad i didn't, because that's not what this is.
It's a story about faking your way into exclusivity, only to realize the entire thing is a facade to begin with. Not a groundbreaking message or anything.. but definitely told in a captivating bruteforce rags to riches way here. It seems that kdramas and movies surrounding specific kind of villains lowkey just.. winning, are on the rise lately, and it makes sense given the state of SK.
For a breezy 8 episode thing i finished in a sitting and a half, it did the job. We do lose a bit of steam toward the end as virtually every episode here is packed with revelations and twists already, leaving little for the finale. On the one hand it's interesting the way things kinda just continue along the concept, no spoilers, but on the other, it's just a very typical condensed close that doesn't really leave you wishing for more, but rather makes you look back at the story as a whole and how it was never really as intricate or grand as it seemed.
Still very entertaining for the most part though. It's a dip into pretentious luxury from a unique outsider-but-turns-out-humans-adapt-to-things-rly-freaking-quickly POV. The music was a standout.
