Cover the Sky (2018)

Wasted time. (-.-)

I watched the whole drama version and I've read a couple chapters from the webtoon already. Webtoon I dropped after completing the drama because of poor story telling, the ending, and the romance was meh. It had potential, but never got to a point where there was progression. From this whole ordeal, all I saw was three princesses being damsel in distresses through out both versions. And I for one can't stand weak females who cry all the time when danger comes there way. Life is always tough, you can't cry misery away.


spoiler: [You've been warned. Read at your own risk.]
The last sister didn't even toughen up until LAST episode. Like really?! All that screen time was just her crying that she wanted to save her sister, but majority of those times was her messing up and never doing any saving.

The one I felt the most pity for was the 2nd sister. She was raped and forced into prostitution, then forced to murder in a sick game (similar to Battle Royal, hunger games, and Princess Agents). I think she was the only person with character growth. 1st Princess, I felt sorry for her at first, but then the writer had to make her fall in love with her kidnapper, rapist, and murderer. Stockholm syndrome (maybe Hybristophilia too?). Now the last sister, what can I say about her? Welp for starters she speaks to animals like Cinderella and Snow White. She cries a lot (I already mentioned, but I need to say it again) and can't do sh*t when her sisters need her help. Like for example: she was at the scene where her 2nd sister was forced to murder in a hunger games with other prostitutes. All she did was cry and not use her "animal calling" abilities/powers to do something to help her sister (who was currently being chased by a psycho prostitute out to murder her in the maze) out. She's useless. Damsel in distress 100%. She's also very naive and stupid. I know she's been sheltered all her life, but damn! A person can't be that sheltered to trust everyone they meet! She even follows the person behind the plot of her parents death and the cause to her family's misery blindly without questioning his motives as to why he's helping her out and appearing in "weird" places he shouldn't even be. Like girl, you ain't gonna question why he's in a dark forest of all places with human eating spiders? Or how he's magically with a group of men (they don't have powers) in a cave mining like a peasant, even though you saw that he had powers to fight before in the dark forest?! Compared her and her sisters, she's not very helpful at all. I don't know why the author and director decided to keep her in the story. Harsh, but the truth. At least the 1st princess had a bit of character development compared to the 3rd sister. She grew some balls to fight back after all the tragedies with her maids dying.

I forgot to mentioned, the ending wasn't really an ending. It was left off at a cliff hanger (probably because the webtoon isn't finished yet). But still, not a satisfying ending. Don't waste your time on this drama.
