born as a psychopath Lee Se Na is on a mission to ruin Dr. Noh family by revealing her family members secrets one by one. Dr.Noh is a family counselor and also has the most toxic family anyone could imagine .
As the episodes goes by you ask yourself :" just how many lies is too much lies?"
Se Na plans backfires as the family gets united to defeat her and protect each other.
I think they did a decent job in the thriller aspect of it but Im not sure what comedy is doing in genre tags. Nothing funny was happening on the screen.
what I don't like is that the characters were all very lazily written. Lee Se Na, DR.Noh and writer Hong are the most unconvincing gas lighters ever but they're all surrounded with gullible men so everything just plays out.
the word " gaslighting " is said multiple time and I read in comment section it was the original name .I'm happy they changed it
I'm proud of Yeon woo acting career after momoland but I'm not sure if this was the role for her. she was doing good in the first half when we didn't know much of Se Na but later on ,she just didn't fit. Especially in the scenes where she is talking with Noh Yong Won. It was hard to watch. I also hated the dancing in fire scene. I think it was supposed to be an emotionally charged scene to move the viewers. I cringed.
I also hated the ending for writer Hong. Yes she did confess to her wrongs and stopped being obsessive and gaslighting family members but she didn't get enough flack for ruining so many people lives in my opinion. I don't understand why everyone was so forgiving towards her.
The ending felt very bittersweet indeed. I'm still not sure about the family massage that was pushed but that's up to personal interpret
this is the type of series you watch to pass time and forget it in a month. Its not meritless but forgettable. The cinematography is stunning.
