Mask Girl

Why is the fan wall so quiet about this one? That first episode was really good! I wasn’t even aware this show existed because nobody’s talking about it.

I’m not usually a fan of dark comedy in kdrama because they don’t know how to do it. Well THIS is how it’s done.

Yes, the lead isn’t the most likable person, but I still rooted for her, it’s easy to understand where she’s coming from and why she does what she does even if she’s a bit delusional sometimes.

Her friend is great and should have more lines. The mystery about what she did is intriguing and the one about who is her fan was the best cliffhanger.

Great pace, very good cast, not one boring moment.

Who knows where it’s going but it was a very entertaining first episode.

    I only finished the show yesterday. The main character’s life, while to some degree the product of her own choices, was quite tragic.

    I do not post anything on my fanwall but let me share my thoughts since I already watched all episodes. It did its job of making the audience look at serious issues. All the characters are flawed and its difficult to root for anyone. To avoid any spoilers, I did feel bad for one character. She suffered the most due to the actions of others. Hopefully, this will make people think and actively make good changes to society.

    I actually watched ep 1 for a good 20 min. I don’t mind flawed characters. But I draw limit on wanting what’s not mine to begin with. The moment she act on her crush/lust on a married man, I shut down.

    if they didn’t call it a “black comedy”, i wouldn’t be so angry. i should’ve known better because Netflix had the movie “The Veteran” posted under COMEDIES…

    it is NOT a comedy, by any means, shape or form. so if you watch it knowing this, then maybe you’ll enjoy it? i did not, because i was expecting something very different…

    I watched all of MG. I thought the acting was great (especially by the younger actresses portraying the FL), but the script had so many problems that it eventually derailed the show into the “train wreck” category. At least for me. I went into more details on the Discussion comment that I posted on the Drama page for the show, if you are interested.
