Han so Hee has been choosing the most versatile projects to showcase her talent. She did a really good job being a conflicted mistress in “World of the married” to a delicate artist in “Nevertheless”. However, here she did an amazing job of playing the role of a daughter on a mission to avenge her father.
Yaay for 8 episodes which were sufficient to build a tight narrative. I was absolutely impressed by attention to detail to the makeup (un plucked eye brows, chapped lips , blood, bruises etc), hair, wardrobe, set designs, cinematography and background musical score. I loved the absence of the tropes of a woman playing role of seductress or wear extremely tight clothes to showcase her body or smile to fool people etc. Top notch acting skills by her which included portrayal of desperation and determination as well as impressively gritty action scenes. I am really excited for her future project (in talks with director of Vincenzo).
I have few small nitty gritty issues. Exaggerated gum chewing is not cool and just makes you look stupid.
I thought it could have been more dark like “Extracurricular” who has the same director. She could not have won her first ring fight or be able to avoid rape etc given the circumstances. She could also have developed a sexual relationship with the mafia boss.
The ending was however good and I always appreciate a romantic element.
Overall a very satisfying watch as a feminist. Highly recommended.
