Ms. Incognito

Started with the promise of an action-packed thriller in a spooky chaebol house of hidden cameras.

Everyone is backstabbing each other and stealing from the pot, which could be money or ramen!

Poor writing. Basic cinematography. FL, Jeon Yeo Been, very insipid. ML, Jin Young, is just about ok. Mother is overacting. The "villagers" are every single stereotype in the scriptwriters' handbook!

Not a very good drama.

*My review is based on 4 first episodes* Just finished the first 4 episodes of Ms. Incognito - and wow, what a start! Slow-paced but NEVER boring. It builds a deep, emotional story that really pulls you in.

The characters? So well done. The villains are pure tension, and the heroine's struggle with money and life hits so real, you feel it in your bones. 💔

Our leading lady Jeon Yeo Been is phenomenal - she owns every scene. The leading man is still a mystery, but I'm excited for their chemistry to unfold slowly and naturally.

Expect a thrilling cat-and-mouse game - our heroine hiding in the shadows, villains hunting her down. The stakes are HIGH and the drama is intense!

The vibe? Cinematic perfection. Great camera work, killer soundtrack, and sharp, witty dialogue make every moment hit hard - with just the right touch of lightness. 🎬

Will the drama keep this quality? Fingers crossed! So far, it's a must-watch. If you're thinking about starting it, just jump in - you won't regret it! 💖

Was I the only one who genuinely believed in this series after watching those first two episodes? Because if so, the disappointment started creeping in the further we got into the story.

The core problem here is watching a genuinely fantastic plot get completely ruined when the series started including way too many goofy, stupid, and utterly ridiculous scenes.

Why were there so many pointless characters and absurd dialogues?

This series is a prime example of genre failure. It was marketed and positioned as a spy thriller, but somewhere along the way, the creators completely lost the plot-literally.

The constant shift toward cozy, everyday life scenarios and excessive, misplaced humor eventually turned the show into something closer to a straight-up comedy. For me, this tonal drift was a massive mistake.

I completely lost all faith in this show. I didn't even bother watching the last two episodes, and honestly, I refuse to waste my time on them. The potential was sky-high, but the execution utterly betrayed it.

Thriller x Romance x Comedy. Does it work? For me not really. There were maybe 15% thriller/action part, 35% romance and 45% comedy. Oh yeah, and 5% transition scenes.

There are twists. One good one and some action. But that is not the main point. Comedy holds the main course with abundance of side characters. From the housemaid, head servant, driver, to the small town moms, kindergarten headmistress, strawberry growers' best friend, and even the small time real estate owner.

No doubt main actress is good and fitting for the role. But maybe a little underwhelming as a body guard. So are the villains, especially the sister. She just oozing badass kinds vibe.

Maybe 3 episodes can be edited out. Pace is slow until some urgency changes the speed. Romance of 3 couples and an extra filler at the end.

If you must, watch it. But it's time you won't have back.

Who uses a gun as a close range weapon? Was parrid but did it again? How can a very rich person not do anything while in fact in the first episodes it should they are capable of anything? Classic example of smart characters doing dumb things out of character. You invest so much time on this series and they insert senseless scenes.
