If you're looking for revenge....this aint it

Well, I made it to episode 7 before deciding to just drop this all together.

I absolutely love revenge dramas. It's what led me to start watching Korean dramas in the first place.

I'm not familiar with none of the three female leads. I've never seen any of these three in any dramas I've watched since the summer of 2020.

I liked the chemistry of the cast but there was no strong connections.

You get the proverbial bully and politics thrown in and you get some type of drama.

I love strong leads but when I get 3 strong female leads I blow out a sigh of relief because Korean actresses are always portrayed to be stupid and poor. Yes, you have three females each with different backgrounds-there always have to be that one token super rich female-but they all came together to become the best friends ever. It even got to the point where they were 언니 (unnies) throughout this drama. That's the good part.

The bad: THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO REVENGE IN THIS NONE WHATSOEVER!!!! The only thing that happened from the seven episodes I watched was glue in the chair, water thrown on you, spiked drink....pranks, not revenge.
Then it turned into a so-called 'peaceful revenge'. Peaceful revenge??? What the heck is peaceful revenge??? I never even heard of that! In one episode one character explained this whole drama at best: females getting together and hanging out because that's all it was.

Then the end of the seventh episode made absolutely no sense: each female gets threatening notes claiming they know what these ladies did.....I'm thinking what did they do? No seriously, what did they do besides get together and have no clue as to how to exact revenge on their husbands and a principle?
All this drama was about was these ladies and a teenager getting together just to hang out.

The music was even worse. They kept playing that Italian song that builds up. To this day I don't even know what the name of that song is. I just know it's been played ever since I was a kid and I've been around for a few decades (not saying how many).

The screenwriters obviously didn't do any homework on how to exact revenge people who deserve it. This was the reason I dropped this drama. It dragged and it became the same thing in every episode. No build up, no revenge, no nothing.
