Would've had a higher score if it didn't piss me off
Sooo, I'm usually the type of person to only leave a comment in the comments section of MDL after I finish a drama, but I actually feel the need to rant in a full-blown review so here we go...
Story: So, the plot was mainly about revenge. The romance didn't really bloom till later on but it's nice to see our male lead actually have a lover and be happy amidst all of the hatred. I'm not gonna lie, this story was honestly really intense and I had a lot of moments where I had to pause the drama because I was just shocked at everything going on. It's a lot to intake. It's pretty fast-paced (a good thing) with lots of suspense/action/anticipation going on in each episode.
Ok, so, now here's the rant ok
First of all, if I could summarize my feelings after I finished the drama, it'd be: W T F
There were SO many scenes in the drama where I was just like WHY WHY WHY and honestly was just losing brain cells! There were just so many scenes where I was like 'that could have been avoided' or 'that did NOT have to happen at all'. It's as if the screenwriters were trolling me with some illogical nonsense and I just had to take it as the truth as told smh. They really out here feeding me some BS and expecting me to take it. No.
Also, killing off the characters to make things more dramatic... Some characters died so easily even though their cause of death wasn't that severe and then you have other characters that went through so much more and still remained alive like... make that make sense... Nonsense once again.
The villains were SO TWO-DIMENSIONAL so I was losing brain cells as well. I like my characters with a little bit more depth but the villains in here were just mad at the world or sum and they only have one brain cell that they share... I just can't smh.
One last thing is... this drama is NOT for sensitive people. If you are a feminist and/or feel strongly against misogyny and/or cannot tolerate insults against women regarding their body, I highly suggest you avoid this drama because they say A LOT of insulting things about women (women to women and men to women).
Acting/Cast: Literally the drama's strongest point is the acting and cast. Everyone's acting was on point. Not a single person was bad at acting. But kudos to the actor that played Tor/Sila. Sila is really complex character and this man really did go above and beyond to act as Sila. He carried the show for me. His expressions and moves were all amazing and his overall performance was superb!
Female lead is beautiful. She is soso pretty, I loveeee her smile but as for her character, I'd have to say she was a pain in the butt to watch in the beginning. The female lead was so quick to judge Sila and was resenting him based on her unconfirmed judgment lol. She annoyed me for a good chunk of the show but after they made up, her character turned decent.
The people who played the villains were great. So evil sheesh.
Music: It's decent, nothing caught my attention.
Rewatch value: Eh, not really I'm not tryna raise my blood pressure lol
Overall: I give this a solid 7.5/10
I clearly liked it because I kept watching until the end and didn't drop it but I also didn't like it because it pissed me off.
Bottom line is...
I would only recommend this for the acting, eye candy, and action, plus you get the satisfaction of Tor ruining Sida and Ae.
BUT if you're a person who loves logical shows and like complex characters, this is a solid PASS because you'll just end up confused, upset, and annoyed.
