This is a long-awaited series for me. About something that is very popular on the internet, streaming. The main role is a streamer who streams outside of work hours. Otherwise, I would like to say that this is a very different office drama, she gets along well with some colleagues. However, she has an inferiority complex, does not appreciate her own appearance and some others do not either.

As a person, she tries to solve her complex by hiding her face when she streams. She is well known and very popular, has many followers and viewers. Much of this can be recognized in series such as shadow beauty and true beauty by having a different character on the outside, in public that people don't know about. However, it does not solve all her problems, there is so much more going on in her private life. Her streaming character behind the mask is a so-called ''yeocam'', dancing a lot to well-known songs with some sexual allusions.

You get to see a short part of her upbringing about what has shaped her as a person. For those of you who have seen Celebrity, will recognize something about the celebrity. This one is much rougher and better in my opinion, more violent and less predictable. Also has the just mentioned a lot more of this more in this one that I missed in Celebrity. The focus of the series is not only on her, there are some important supporting roles that have their part in the plot. These people are also important. Some are looking for her, others want to help.

There are clear time markers when all events take place, so it's easy to keep up. Perceives the series as very mysterious and comical, while her life can be tragic at times. At the same time, it can be absurd, quirky and crazy at the same time. Dark humor with a little noir feel, filled with a certain amount of sadism and revenge. Can also be experienced as mentally ill in the style of Parasite in its ways. Much that happens in unexpected ways. The music is very good, at the same time we get to see and hear her dancing to old kpop hits sometimes. Some soundtracks are a bit reminiscent of the Squid game. Well written and provocative with its content. Everything fits in 7 episodes. Very interesting!!!!!!!
