I feel like the line above should be enough to explain why this special deserves one star. Actually, I would go into negatives if I could.

What Lhong did to Tar is not excusable. There is not a single bad thing that could have happened to him in the past that would make me think that his actions can be explained. He is evil. That’s it. Giving us a sob story about his past does not change the fact that he not only completely ruined the life of a teenage boy, but also continued to blackmail and manipulate the said boy. Let’t not forget him ruining his friend’s happiness again and again. And trying to kill the said friend’s boyfriend. Yeah, yeah, he hesitated. Does not mean he is a good person.

I am honestly so pissed that someone (aka MAME) had the audacity to think that he deserves a second chance. Or that the viewers would care about his sob story. No. The only thing we care about and are still upset about is the fact that he walked free. There were absolutely no real consequences for his actions. Sure, he lost a friend. Boo-hoo, go cry in the corner. What he should have gotten is either a life in prison or in some sort of mental hospital.

I do have to give it to the actor though. He is really good at switching the emotions in his scenes. And I do think he did a good job portraying Lhong. It does take talent to make you hate someone as much as we all hate Lhong.
