Entertaining and yet Painful
Within this review, I will give a comprehensive list of everything that I enjoyed and did not enjoy so that it might help future viewers decide if they wish to invest their time in this drama.
— Things I enjoyed:
1. The general idea behind the plot was very interesting.
In fact, I think when MUSE put this drama in a poll with some others and asked which one we would like to be subbed, I immediately chose this after reading the plot.
2. The actors & their craft
Yes, I was extremely upset half of the time and wanted almost all of the female characters to die. However, isn't it the craft of the actor that is so polished that I am pulled to hate them so much? hahaha
3. The opening scene & every scene with FL in the bunker
Jesus, it was chilling. Watching someone die and their final moments be so sad and desperate. I cried.
4. The OST
Really good, very chilling.
— Things I disliked:
2. The plot
I needed more substance. It all seemed very vanilla to me.
It seemed like they had a great plot idea but didn't want to do a lot to it so they just did bare-minimum and before you knew it the drama was over. I needed more detailed and active planning and investigation about what happened in her first life. More spice.
3. The character setting
Yeah, I wanted spice and the drama had it but honestly, it had it in the wrong place. The characters were so hateful! Despite the side women being hateful enough, the two characters that I absolutely could not stand and cussed out every time they showed up was the FL's best friends.
I don't know what the screenwriters were thinking but almost everyone was pinning the FL to be this evil dangerous person who regardless of whether they were good or bad, was just at fault and needed to just forget about her past life.
Everyone kept yelling at her to stop finding out about her past life as if this girl did not have nightmares every night watching the final moments of her life and just see herself being tortured and bullied in her past life. How could she not have the right to want to find out who killed her?
And holy if the FL so much as behaved like a normal human and felt emotions (which made her powers show up because hello she can not control them) — she was evil and needed to stop feeling emotions.
So annoying. I saw normal human beings do more damage and hurtful things in this drama than the FL who had supernatural abilities and was somehow so dangerous and deadly according to these other people.
Good luck with watching it cause if you're like me, you'll be really irritated most of the time because of the above 2 things. Nonetheless, I did binge this drama within a day or two so it is really entertaining at least.
7.5/10
