Three women band together to uncover the truth...and deal justice.
TL;DR If you enjoy low romance, independent FLs, sisterhood, murder, and mystery/suspense, I recommend The Danger of Her.
Of course, it is not everyone's cup of tea, but because it's short, modern, and nonromantic, I would recommend this to those seeking a break from lengthy, romantic costume dramas.
What I think about it
I like it. It's not romantic and relies on suspense, although not overly so. It shows independent women, which, sadly to say, is often rare in c-dramas. The FLs must rely on themselves to achieve their goal, and the sisterhood between the women is enjoyable to watch. None of the FLs are annoying. In addition, each one has her own job. There is a lot of mystery in the plot, and the ending is interesting but resolved. Some of the acting, as mentioned, is too cartoonish, especially the antagonist.
Summary without spoilers
There's 4 FLs, each one with a unique backstory. The "Main FL" Qiao Wei is in a terrible marriage, but she is wealthy and has a son. She attends her college 5 year reunion and meets up with an old friend who is a writer Su Yao (another FL). Something insane happens, and something from the past resurfaces, and an old boyfriend blackmails QW. Four classmates are brought together and devise a plan to help QW get rid of this blackmail--and escape her abusive marriage.
