Review of Mask Girl

Being a fan of K-drama and revenge stories this show had me interested from the beginning! It seemed as though they got it right with some interesting twists along the way. Then, halfway through, the writing started to look lazy and clinging to all the clichés. On top of that, the show started to drag itself with some "plot" being added that was completely superfluous to the end game. Not to spoil anything but the way they made it about a silly everlasting, tougher, holier than thou character and her search for the ultimate revenge... (Whilst becoming an expert with guns, crime, bribes, etc... Some kind of supper granny of evil...) Well, let's just say the potential was huge. It started off nicely and it could've been one of the most interesting recent shows with a not so subtle criticism of social/beauty standards in South Korea. But it became stale and cursed with poor writing and trying to "surprise" you, when in fact it became so predictable. Worth it up to episode 4 or so. It won't hurt to watch the entire show. But if you're picky, best skip this one, some other shows out there are more worthy of your time.
