Mediocre at best
First let me give positive sides -
The story narrative was unique, each episode belongs to the perspective of our main characters. The acting is top notch. But that's about it. It gets boring too soon after 3 episodes.
The drama emphasizes on how harsh beauty standards of society effect people, now by trailer we know this is some sociopathic killing spree drama, and indeed it was. But is it interesting and unique, I have to disagree.
Every character is basically the same, they get mistreated either because of their financial status or look wise department. They become people who have stalker obsessive traits or mentally not correct anymore due to the mistreatment from their childhood or teen years, now as adults they become total maniacs with serious psychological issues and then they do something completely illegal.
My problem with this is, each and every character story is basically that's it, same litter different puppy that's all, which essentially takes away the uniqueness of character differentiation and as for story line, it is pretty much predictable, there are no major twists or unexpected plots. You can guess what is going to happen from a mile.
And most importantly, the drama has missed to make the characters in such a way that we feel emotionally connected to them. It focused more on fast story pacing. On one hand it is telling the hardships characters went through because of their ugly looks, but for you feel pity or understand why these characters became the villains or making poor choices with their present life, you won't get time to feel that as audience, because just as you begin to understand the character and connect to them, all is lost when the character immediately does something psychopathic.
Finally, there is no real substance. I mean at the end, what did you want this drama to be about? Is it about beauty standards? is it about bad parenting? is it about obsession? is it about mental illness? At the end, it's nothing but just a bunch of murder spree drama. Because nothing else was profoundly discussed.
