A no mercy with something more.

"No Mercy" style revenge film with the great
Lee Si Young. Here the theme is the same, with a somewhat confusing narrative plot. But at a certain point everything is clearly explained to you, a bit of "red light crime", a bit of "rape and revenge", and that's it. Nothing original, but pleasant to follow if you want to spend a couple of hours full of unbridled violence. Usually these films do not shine in artistic details, or excellent interpretations. They focus everything on the bloody scenes and action typical of Hollywood films. The cast knew how to do well what they had to do, performances a little subdued, but in line with the type of film. Both the bad and the good antagonist demonstrated a black and white face to face. Him Kim Ji Hoon who fits in very well in the role of the villain, and her Jeon Jong Seo with that sweet little face, but at the same time ruthless and vindictive. For me it was enjoyable and I would easily watch it again with a few beers and some chips.

Dal mio punto di vista, e dalla mia esperienza in fatto di drama (ma anche in cinema nella totalità del suo mondo), questo drama è una vera perla rara, tematiche mature, una storia delicata, ma allo stesso tempo fragile e dolorosa. I due protagonisti spiccano su tutto, magistrali nella recitazione, perfetti nella loro interpretazione. Duro dare un ruolo così particolare e doloroso, ad una giovanissima attrice, ci sono temi molto delicati, il suo vendere il proprio corpo per soffocare il dolore del tradimento del padre, sul finale poi tutto viene incastrato alla perfezione, come un mosaico perfetto. Atipico come drama, maturo come tema, ma soprattutto distante dalle tematiche tipiche delle produzioni televisive coreane.

The first one was good, but we could have done better.

A very confusing narrative plot, but with very profound features. It must be said that the theme of sexual identity is increasingly present in Korean dramas, a giant step forward in a closed and very "homophobic" world. Here the theme of obsession was adopted, to deal with something dramatic, identifiable. The two protagonists are very in tune, the classic love story of two very different people, but very similar to each other. Then there is the fantasy component, that is, her ability to know whether the person in front of her is telling a lie or the truth. The obvious ending, and the extra episode that wasn't needed. But all in all, she wasn't too bad, in fact quite the opposite. I know Kim So Hyun well, loved by the undersigned in every interpretation of her. Most of all, "Who are you", which deals with the topic of bullying that is so dear to me.

This drama struck me from different points of view, an explosion of twists, episode after episode. The characterization of the characters is almost perfect, a mixture of self-irony, and psychological catharsis. The whole cast has been able to get into the parts, and the characters are the result of an excellent interpretation. Mainly Min Yoo-ra masterfully interpreted by Lee Elijah, has given proof of a nearly perfect acting. The plot twist is a mixture of emotions, and in recent episodes, there has been a crescendo of feeling, until the dramatically more devastating epilogue I've ever seen. In conclusion, I can promote the drama with flying colors, even if with some uncertainty, has been able to keep the charismatic verve for 52 episodes, without losing a beat.
