SHORT REVIEW

Avengers Social Clubs is one of those tv shows to watch when you want to see women taking charge of their lives, and valuing their self-respect instead of  the stereotypical catfighting over a no-good man that is not worth the drama. The main themes are friendship (mostly female), justice,  different forms of abuse regardless of generations, corruption and bribery,  family secrets, amongst other things. Many touchy topics were addressed, which I found extremely refreshing and brave.

All the main characters were interesting and well played. My favorite were Jung Hye and Soo Gyum, who were not supposed to get along given the circumstances but actually grew to heart each other. My only regret is the lack of balance of "good" and "bad" people,  there is some sort of gendered greatness. 80% of the good people were female, 20% male. The vast majority of "trashy people" were males. I hope you girls won't dislike me for this, but although I am a woman who 100% support women, these dynamics didn't make the show realistic. However Soo Gyum almost made up for this imbalance, he was a pleasant surprise.

Either way, it was very enjoyable, and the humor was unexpected. I assumed it would be dark from beginning to end, but caught myself laughing out loud a lot of times.  Thank you tVN for yet another good production!
