Sweet Revenge (2017)

I binge watched this series in one evening. It's short and cute. The characters are easy to like and the acting is good. I was concerned at first about the premise of "getting revenge" because I was afraid it would be taken too lightly. However, though I'm not one that thinks "revenge" is always the best choice, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they use the concept in a way that seems reasonable.

One thing I thought was very well done and hadn't really seen in a teen drama is the story line that follows someone with a true mental illness. It's only in one episode and I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't say more than that except to say I was impressed that the topic was even brought up and that it was faced so "head on." Thumbs up to the writers on that part of the story for sure.

There were two things I felt were a bit off about this, but I don't want to use spoilers so I'll be vague. However, when you watch the series I think you will easily understand and then I'd be interested to know if you agree...

1) There was a character that I thought I would see more of, but didn't...and it seemed like the story line for that character was left a bit in the air. I found it a bit annoying that there wasn't closure for that person...or at least a proper connection to the end of the story.

2) There is one question that isn't answered that I really wish had been. Perhaps it is answered in the 2nd season? I don't know. It's not a deal breaker thing, just something I found myself wondering about and wished an answer had been given.

All in all, I really liked this series and I recommend it for anyone who just wants a bit of light drama.
