Véspera

The story is super entertaining and climaxes are really strong.

Every actor/actress has played his/her character perfectly was zero boring or useless scenes Every episode is stronger than the latest one Now I'm on ep 14 and it's literally fire and I can't wait to see the last 2 episodes.

The stylist for the main character was next level. Her outfits were stunning. And she looked like a supermodel sometimes. As the show went on her hair got darker and her skin got paler so she started looking like a sick vampire. Put in the beginning she looked very beautiful and stunning.

Then just the way the music is and the way they film it and just the cinematography it seems like it's setting up for deep poetry. The visuals and the pacing of this camera and the music is very very intense and poetic.

I feel like this show is worth watching just for the camera, music, and the visuals.

And it's just varied cool how they transport you into like a high and sophisticated beautiful high taste life.

I don't know how I feel about that acting. I think it might be good? But I've seen better in different shows so I don't know.

Now the plot was a bit hollow in the Middle with too much emphasis on her romancing her enemy and it dragging along with that for too much.

It seems kind of boring and hollow in the middle and kind of blah blah. It picked up with some drama towards the end.

It was kind of confusing how they were making it look like some people were in love when they didn't seem to have much interaction beforehand.

I didn't like their choice of making the main character female lead starting to seem like a psycho in the way that she talked and motioned her head and acted. I wish she just showed more righteous indignation rather than morph into some weirdo.

Even though she was very evil, the main villain I did feel sorry for her. Because she was distorted she came from my evil family and a evil father with all kinds of shenanigans and she was just like a overgrown spoiled child who was too dumb to know better than to be evil. I know in real life people have usually have consciences and they should know better but I don't know I did feel sorry for her.

I think they were trying to hard to be dramatic and in the end for effect to entertain the viewer and romantic in the middle to entertain your viewer. But it's not matching the cinnnography the camera work and the music and the visuals. Which is very sophisticated, high end and poetic. I wish they were more heavy on a poetic and profound plot like they were with some of the visuals and maybe just a tiny bit of the dialogue.

I feel like the show had more potential and becoming a more poetic deep thing instead of some sort of soap opera with some silly back and forth plotting and dangerous revenge violence.

The story of a daughter who waits for years as she plots revenge on the people responsible for her fathers death. The superb Seo Yea-ji shines as always but sadly the series falls short on pacing. The story and characters are way too dramatic and people seem to commit kidnap and murder at will with no consequences. If they had reined in the script and reduced the dramatic conflict it would have been a much better series.

I started this kdrama and the only thing i knew was that it's a makjang, a revenge story by a strong female lead, that's what i signed for and it's what i got.

It's true we've seen many revenge stories and this isn't completely new but the actors made it really interesting, everybody gave solid performances and the chemistry between the characters was really amazing especially Seo yea ji and Park Byung Eun, their chemistry was good and delivered one of their best performances so far, Lee sangyeob too was phenomenal and the way he acts with all the emotions in the eyes is noticeable.

I also appreciate the details, the fashion and the music, but unfortunately the direction and the filter they used on the actors downgraded the quality of the product, it was so unpleasant to watch on screen.

About the plot, it's true that it has many flaws and it could've been executed better but it was watchable until the last 2 episodes, nothing made sense and it got so ridiculous it ruined my experience watching this drama. Overall such a good makjang that deserves better ending.

Seo Ye-Ji is a great actress-and beautiful too just watch her eyes=like they talk-anyway 2eps in and hope carries on good bit stuck wondering on certain plot details-but by 16 i prob know why lol ps cannot wait to find how they get from A TO B ETC.
