The Origami Swan and the Psycho
The second 7 episode installment of the "My Hero" series — "Spell of the Swan Mark" is based on the novel by the author Satarat. Below is the list of good and bad points regarding this drama that I made a note of:
⌜The Good Points⌟
- Suspense is decent.
You really don't have it figured out until it comes out.
-It's short and binge-able.
It was somewhat easy for me to complete this. I'll admit I skipped some of the scenes, but overall I was able to complete this and that says a lot lmao.
- It's much better than the previous installment I watched.
That one was the one with Boy, and I thought it was really just full of patriotic advertisements and so on.
- FL's personality is cute.
I really enjoyed her innate personality. Her ability to make jokes and not be ashamed, it's cute.
⌜The Bad Points⌟
- Romance is morally questionable
The ML has a GF who he loves. The ML experiences a very low in his life when his family is killed at the opening of his dance school. The FL comes and is an unmoving support system for him. His GF on the other hand is always crying and grabbing attention to herself. He's attracted to the FL because of how unwaveringly supportive and caring she is to him. He feels guilty about his feelings and decides to be with his GF because in his eyes his GF didn't do anything wrong to deserve this. Even until the last minute, he sees that his GF only has him and is with her. The FL knows he's taken, the FL also knows the GF is psycho and desperately in need of him but she still entertains her feelings and gives him provision to dance around her.
- ML's GF is a psycho psycho
I really hate these sorts of people in real life. Totally crazy and manipulative.
Normally I would not understand why people like making the GF crazy just to justify the love between the ML and the FL, when in fact it's infidelity. But somehow it's suddenly acceptable because it's between the ML and the FL. But this time... I put it all up to the girl being mentally ill, and the sort that is just super evil now.
- The dance moves were super embarrassing.
Although Great seems like a good dancer (as much as his height and body structure can allow), the choreography was totally below average and it showed.
Overall, I probably won't watch this again. But I hardly ever rewatch anything.
It was alright though, as entertaining as it could get.
7/10
