Perverse and aimless felt like, ended up dropping it.

This drama was recommended by a YTber that I love watching so I came in with pretty high expectations and decided to watch it with my mother who I've gotten into Asian dramas because she loves the fact that its more sweet and less sexual....this was not the drama to watch. I'll let you guys know right now that I dropped it after episode 3 or 4, it was just dragging on.

Story: I am not sure what the plot was meant to be, at first it feels like they are going to teach us about beauty standards in society, with our first MC feeling bad about her appearance since she was deemed 'Ugly' by her mother and society, yet at night time when she puts on a mask and dances for a bunch of men online, she's treated like a goddess and gets the praise she deserves. The whole 'Beautiful' vs 'Ugly' thing made me feel rather uncomfortable and one of the reasons I dropped this show since it kept showcasing the 'Ugly' people as bad, perverts and so on. This is something I've noticed with a lot of Netflix Original, it feels like they throw it more s3x scenes and dark themes to try and bring Asian drama fans over.

Acting: The only good thing about this show was the acting, I only made it to episode 3 or 4 before dropping it, but the acting was topnotch. I am personally not happy that they showcased so much s3x scenes, m@sturb@tion scenes and overall it felt too perverse without it adding to the story in my opinion. Its why my mother and I dropped it. She turned to me and said ".....What is this show you are showing me? Why is this so perverse?I don't see what it's adding to the story."

Music: It had some good songs but nothing memorable.

Overall: If you are into plotless, shallow, perverse shows who's message seems to be "If you are pretty you can get away with things! And if you aren't pretty, get plastic surgery to fit in!" Then this is the perfect show for you. Just be warn that there is R@pe, lots of sex & m@sterbation, lots of trauma and not a lot of light at the end of the tunnel.
