Glass Mask (2012)

I had to think long and hard before writing this review. This was my first daily drama! And to add the element of revenge to it was gold! The child acting in the first few episodes was superb! When I first started the drama, I could only watch a few episodes at a time because it was a story line hard to watch because of the sheer meanness of some of the characters towards the lead Kang Yi Kyung played by Seo Woo. The things that her family did and allowed was amazing. I have to say that the writing did a wonderful job the first 100 episodes; however, the last 20 episodes were either unnecessary or just plain filler; leading us to an ending that was rushed beyond belief!.

Acting: I have to give high props to both Seo Woo (Kang Yi Kyung) and Kim Yeo Seo (Kang Seo Yeon). These two women did an excellent job in making you love and hate them. The things Seo Yeon did to her sister, wow! I cannot give anything else away on that.

The two male leads, Lee Ji Hoon (who I love) and Park Jin Woo were at best decent. It was my first experience with Park Jin Woo, such a handsome guy and I look forward to see more of him in the future.

Overall, unless you have hours and hours to invest, these short 30 minutes will sweep you into a story of family, revenge, and murder unlike any you have seen before (okay, Yellow Boots is next)!!

At the first few episodes... It will seem like a good drama.. and you will be very angry at people and you'll want to keep watching more.. yes I did that. The only reason I finished this drama is that I was just hoping the drama would get better or curious on how many episodes it would be (didn't find out about the 122 episodes until near the end of the run). I give the story at 6 because the first part of the drama was pretty good and attracted my attention up until the middle and then it just kind of went all over the place.... There wasn't very much "revenge" going on.. 8 for the Acting because the acting is very good in my opinion attracted me and many others who watched ALL 122 episodes of this... :) 5 for the music because.. there wasn't much to the music except some thriller music here and there and EVERY single episode you would hear the same opera song from 1-122 and even in the endings the music doesn't change much, there isn't much celebrity collaboration on the OST. REWATCH um... maybe for certain parts of the show.. just to reminisce the good moments of the show but for the whole thing I recommend you not watch it again start to finish you'll know why :) and Overall I give it 6 for fairness and basically that's for you to decide hopefully you'll mention my name in your reviews

Annyeong!!
