A film about lies - intrigue - friendships - friends who are not friends - love - fake love and
a stalker with delusions. And everything revolves around HyeJi, who becomes a victim of some of the above mentioned points relatively early in the series. Apart from some cafes, residential eyes, everything mainly takes place in a Korean university. HyeJi really doesn't have it easy. She understands only after a while that she is on the losing side all the way. As in so many Korean dramas, all problems resolve in the final episode.
Each episode is a very short 12 minutes long, so you can comfortably finish all the episodes on a rainy afternoon with some snacks on the couch. I read in some reviews that they got bored in the last third. Makes me wonder what you have to pack into 12 episodes x 12 minutes = 144 minutes to get a "cheap thrill" every minute. The film must have time to develop. It has to breathe.
In the penultimate episode, you get a hint for a surprising twist. That's why there's the term "thriller" in the film description. I think that is completely wrong. It is a social drama and deals with the social status of women in society. Yes, you will finde some thrills in the last minutes of the series, but does not give the right to call the series a thriller. I think that's why the series got so many bad reviews, because it's in the wrong category.
What really bugged me, though, was the film's score. It was so bad. And the two drunken songs were played over and over again. It was hanging out of my ears. No matter if sad, or funny, always the same songs. Bad.
On top of that, the main character is too blind to see the obvious and doesn't listen to her gut. Take your time and think about what you want. Then you can be taken seriously.
A few more lines about the role of women in society.
Dear female readers of countries that have an old (dusty) view of the role of women in society. It's really time for you to stand up for your rights and start actively changing society to equal rights. The ancient values are all invalid anyway, as the modern country has embraced the values of the western world. Men AND women need to emancipate themselves. Expecting a man to fulfill certain requirements (have a good job, come from a good family) is just as wrong as thinking that the woman belongs in the kitchen and is solely responsible for raising the children.
All images of an old past world.
