# Review for Anyone Planning to Watch *Overdo*If you're planning to watch this drama, you've probably already seen a lot of mixed reviews—some people love it, while others dislike it. Here's my opinion.
The first half of the drama is enjoyable and stays true to its main theme. It builds the conflict well and makes you curious about what will happen next.
Unfortunately, around the halfway point, the drama completely loses its direction. It's almost as if a different writing team took over. Instead of developing the central conflict, it starts jumping from one plot to another. That's when the story begins to feel unfocused, repetitive, and boring. This is also the point where many viewers will probably consider dropping it.
## My Criticism
### 1. Poor Execution (The Biggest Problem)
The biggest issue isn't the story itself—it's the execution.
The core idea and the main theme had a lot of potential, but many scenes fail to deliver the emotional impact they should have. There are several moments where you naturally expect a stronger reaction from the characters, more tension, or a more satisfying payoff, but the scenes end too quickly or move on before they can leave an impression.
Many emotional moments feel rushed instead of being allowed to breathe. Because of that, scenes that should have been memorable become forgettable.
### 2. The Drama Loses Its Core Plot
The story starts with a clear central conflict, but halfway through it seems to forget what it was really about.
One major reason is that the main villain is dealt with too early. After that, instead of deepening the original conflict, the writers keep introducing new storylines one after another.
A story doesn't become better by adding more events. It becomes better when every event pushes the same central conflict forward. *Overdo* does the opposite—it keeps changing its focus until the story feels scattered.
### 3. Weak Plot Progression
Even when individual scenes are interesting, the sequence of events often isn't.
Many plotlines feel disconnected from each other, and the transitions aren't smooth. Rather than building naturally toward bigger moments, the story keeps jumping to new ideas before properly developing the previous ones.
As a result, the pacing becomes uneven.
### 4. Unconvincing Character Reactions
Several scenes don't feel emotionally believable.
Characters sometimes react much less than a real person would in the same situation. In other moments, conflicts continue simply because nobody communicates honestly.
Some misunderstandings and problems could have been solved with one simple conversation, but instead they're stretched out to create unnecessary drama.
### 5. Unsatisfying Motivations
Some actions and plot twists don't have strong enough reasons behind them.
Characters occasionally make decisions because the plot needs them to, not because those choices feel natural for their personalities. That makes certain moments less satisfying.
## What I Did Like
I can't really judge the cinematography, editing, lighting, or camera work because I'm not knowledgeable enough in those areas.
However, I genuinely liked the OST, especially the main revenge theme. The production value, costumes, fashion, and casting are also impressive and make the drama visually enjoyable.
## Final Thoughts
Overall, *Overdo* had the potential to be a much stronger drama.
It had an interesting premise, a capable cast, and high production value, but the weak execution prevented it from reaching that potential. The biggest disappointment isn't that the story had flaws—it's that many good ideas weren't executed as well as they could have been.
And at the end its a sad ending.
So overall at the end you will get a lot of trauma without getting good story.
