La chica enmascarada

This is another great Korean drama that is worth your time.

I had no idea what the story was going to be about and even as I was watching the show, I could not predict where the story would go.

I don't want to give too much away, but each episode is a unique point of view that progresses the plot and keeps the show fresh and unique.

The last couple of episodes bring to mind the early work of Park Chan Wook, which is never a bad thing.

I wish the US made shows like this, but it seems like Korea is producing far more interesting tv shows than the US.

I'd also advise watching it with subtitles rather than overdubs. The overdubs are never as good.

Being a fan of K-drama and revenge stories this show had me interested from the beginning! It seemed as though they got it right with some interesting twists along the way. Then, halfway through, the writing started to look lazy and clinging to all the clichés. On top of that, the show started to drag itself with some "plot" being added that was completely superfluous to the end game. Not to spoil anything but the way they made it about a silly everlasting, tougher, holier than thou character and her search for the ultimate revenge... (Whilst becoming an expert with guns, crime, bribes, etc... Some kind of supper granny of evil...) Well, let's just say the potential was huge. It started off nicely and it could've been one of the most interesting recent shows with a not so subtle criticism of social/beauty standards in South Korea. But it became stale and cursed with poor writing and trying to "surprise" you, when in fact it became so predictable. Worth it up to episode 4 or so. It won't hurt to watch the entire show. But if you're picky, best skip this one, some other shows out there are more worthy of your time.

We really were not expecting this. Described as a 'Dark comedy' which probably the first few episodes were, but then it went into full thriller mode with high school and prison drama.

I can understand the 18 rating with graphic violence and lots of blood but thankfully not so graphic sexual acts.

Definitely not for children. There's revenge, self discovery, bullying, misogyny, bullying, loneliness, betrayal, parental relationships and society's judgemental attitude's especially online.

Good character building and direction with back stories given black & white treatment or year subtitled. Script and storyline is pretty good with unexpected twists but some scenes needs reality check like many horror or thrillers.

One of the best K-dramas to date.

It's very unusual series.

At first I wanted to quit watching halfway through the second episode. But I continued to watch and my opinion completely changed. Each series is a separate chapter, revealing one of the characters, and together they are intertwined into one crazy story.

If you like tough social dramas with a hint of bloody madness, good twists and cool actors, then this series is for you) in my opinion, the series is comparable in impressions with the Parasites, I rarely see something so ambiguous and interesting. The more I think about my viewing experience for writing this review, the more I like it. I will definitely watch it a second time.

Binged watched this in a day. With the way it started, I had no idea it would end up the way it did. Each episode got stranger and stranger, I had no idea what would come next or how the story would come to a cohesive end.

Insanely addictive though, loved the themes it explored, how attractiveness dictates how you get treated by others, stalking, obsession, toxic family dynamics and how that affects one's future...

It was quite dark too, without spoiling anything, a lot more graphic than I initially thought it would be. Each episode followed a certain character, at first I wasn't sure about this way of setting the story out- but I ended up enjoying it as it was something that I haven't seen done before.

Overall, if you like dark mini-series that explore heavy subjects, with a twinge of black comedy, I would recommend this for you.
