MASK this was considered to be a modern day melodrama. but its just a old stock served in new bottle. story is pretty much cliche as explained in synopsis. byun ji sook is a poor hardworking emphatetic girl who is suffering from her family hardships. she got a chance to wear a mask and pretend to be a rich woman. but that mask did not made her happy at all. will she continue to pretend like that or take off her mask ? this is the basic premise of the story. similar to bride of century. Yup. Its the same. But this was better turned out and well done drama. what made this drama good is fine acting, good romance, suspense although with predictable twists. joo ji hoon did a great job despite his role was not important to story that much. soo ae is beautiful elegant and has charming smile, but her acting was just alright for me. i enjoyed the chemistry leads had. especially his trust towards her, even though she had hidden her identity. choi min woo is the best husband one can ever ask. NOW what made this drama bad is repeated story line with stupid plans and stupid twists to take revenge.Also lead pair always had to suffer, could not fight back till the last episode. change of heart of the villains shown in last episode seems not believable at all. also that unhealthy relationship between suk hoon and mi yeon is very annoying. i could not symphatise with any of them. i had hard time watching with all the flaws. i have held myself back from skim watching or dropping this part of drama. also i feel soo ae could not justify character development at all. her character was supposed to start as doormat woman and end as strong woman with intelligent head over her shoulders. but she could not play that part at all. all she had to do is be cheerful, compassionate and girl who emphatises every one suffering. ending was also not good. i was disappointed that everyone seem to be fine with what happened with seo eun ha. also seo eun ha was given very less time length in the whole drama, where as she is supposed to be most important character. music. i enjoyed one particular song that played at the end of all episodes. BGM is fine. i guess so. Over all i could not rate this drama more than 7. this is because part of which i enjoyed is very short, and part which annoyed me is almost through out the whole drama. drama which started great but everything fell flat later. i would not recommend this. it has too many flaws to like it. but may be my tastes are different. probably what i hated in this, is what you will love. i am not really sure. -----DISCLAIMER rewatching is completely ruled out for me
