Revenge is a dish best served cold
Thrilling!
I usually am not a fan of "overrated" dramas (Descendants of the sun was a torture to watch), but this time I am on board. The mix of comedy and dark revenge is so fresh and so welcome in dramaland!
I had to subtract 0.5 point due to the finale episode which could have been SO MUCH BETTER (spoilers ahead):
- The smart and bold FL just disappeared due to an aching shoulder;
- The well-developed character that was Jang Han Seo left us in a disappointing way (don't get me wrong, I cried like a baby, but I couldn't stop thinking to myself that I couldn't care less about Hong Cha Young's boo boo seeing that boy alone...).
- Vincenzo's stupid behaviour during that whole "Hong Cha Young has been captured" scene.
Overall, the cinematography is very impressive, the ost and bgm go so well with the scenes, the acting is pretty much flawless, the story is (most of the time) quite nice with a lot of details on the revenge plots.
Of course there are some issues with this drama, mostly in the last 2-4 episodes, but to be fair I don't want to judge this drama on these. It managed to make me happy every Sunday evening, and gosh, that's not an easy thing to do. So thank you!
