The show's great! I'm just picky on details

A young woman who based her entire life and career on getting revenge on those who made her suffer in high school. That pretty much sums up the show. I personally really liked it and can't wait for a next season. But there's minor details as to why I wouldn't consider this a 10/10.
The story line is pretty good, although a bit unrealistic. I've had my fair share of experience with bullies, but since when do bullies physically torture their victims? Alright one sadistic bully might be possible, but FIVE??? Anyhow, I've always noticed that with kdramas, they struggle to really portray the bad guy. Personally, I rarely found any of them scary. But I was amazed by Im Ji Yeon, as she was the most convincingly evil actor in this show!!!
I like how the kdrama universe has progressed to a point where they don't shy away from some nudity. But do we seriously still need the creepy "I love her so I'll just roam around her until she loves me back"-type of romance? It's giving toxic masculinity and Korean producers need to realize how weird that is.
I have nothing against the cast of Moon Dong Eun and Joo Yeo Jung, but I didn't quite understand their relationship and how it progressed. Not to mention Moon's behavior (she sometimes would or would not show emotions). That is likely because of her trauma, but I still think that makes her relationship with Joo Yeo Jung even more odd, considering he also went through a very traumatic experience. There was a lack in the chemistry and it just made me wanna skip their scenes.
You know that sad feeling when you finish an amazing drama? Well I was missing that feeling. Instead I felt the need to tap on the "next episode" button, but there was none.
Conclusion: I loved it, but I felt as if something was missing from the story line.
