Not Good Enough
" Dalgona " was, unfortunately, one of those Korean Web Dramas that just miss the spot. The story had potential but never lived up to them, and the love story was less than half baked.
Dalgona starts okay, with impressive editing and an opening scene that catches the eye, as it is intense and promising. You want to know what happens to the girl and you want her to get back at her bully. However, that revenge plot did not give the satisfaction that one should hope for. Part of it is due to the short length. And that could have been a solid excuse, cause, yes, this is a web drama and one should not expect it to give you an in-depth representation of the story if other short web dramas had handled their stories (some of them quite similar to this one) so nicely that the viewer didn't felt their short length. Alas, this is not the case. That is why most of the other plotlines, like the romance, were rushly handled and awkwardly concluded.
On another note, the performances were enjoyable.
So, overall, 2.5 out of 10.
