A drama that makes people have mixed feelings about it
As a viewer of dramas, the first thing you read before you watch a drama is the synopsis. Basically telling you what the drama was about. The synopsis was the most misleading one I’ve read in my whole life.
So the synopsis was this girl who went on to become a cold blooded assassin after some challenges. Also, she met some romance. This happened to be my most favourite type of genre. I really like to watch dramas where the FL becomes the most badass female assassin and it was a bonus because there was romance. So, I entered the drama with really high hopes. Like super high ones. But what I got was a lot of disappointment and mixed feelings towards it.
So, I started watching it and the first few episodes was really good and lived up to my expectations. Especially because I thought the ideas used inside were really fresh and new and who doesn’t really doesn’t appreciate that. It made me hopelessly in love with it after the umbrella with the blood flowers on it. It was just so cool! And umm..some things happen and hey she becomes an assassin.
From then on..it kinda just snowballed down. All my hopes crushed. She becomes the worst type of assassin I wanted to see. You see she becomes the type of assassin that feels so weak you know, she doesn’t want to kill anyone and is like Ah…I just don’t want to kill them. First, I don’t feel so bad about it. I mean who doesn’t feel guilty killing someone. However, it got to a point where it just became unbearable to watch how weak and how unsuitable to the description of an assassin was. The main thing got me riled up was the description. THEY SAID I COULD WATCH A COLD BOODED BADASS ASSASSIN but what I got in return was real bad. So, you see the drama progresses on and one talking about how she was reluctant kill people and then she finally kills someone and then feel so guilty about it…..you get the second male lead and all that so on and on drama with ML and second ML. Everyone gets it….
Then, she finally kills her last person which was the leader of the organisation and seriously I was feeling a bit weird. It was just so out of the place, I mean you didn’t want a single person and then suddenly you become strong and murder the leader who has been in the high position for so long. Girl, where does all the power come from? Sure…there was the motive that was super strong cos the leader killed everyone she loved. But, hey it doesn’t quite add up?
Finally, she becomes the leader of the organisation of the female assassins and that really irritated me. It was like hey, this is a female assassin organisation and everyone there killed people like the assassin they were supposed to be. But, you killed just two ppl！ TWO! And one was like so reluctant and the other person was purely full of hatred. I mean why her out of everyone? Finally, she says I have become so crazy and so cold blooded assassin, killing so much people. AND I WAS GIRL WHAT?????HUH???It didn’t add up.
The acting was good.
The music was not too bad.
Pity, the story really wasn’t good and the synopsis was missing plus the title.
