Seo ye ji hats off.
Ra El was a girl who idolized her loving parents – a highly intelligent father and a strikingly beautiful mother. But when cruel forces beyond their control cause her father’s death, her family crumbles. Embittered by this terrible experience, she vows revenge on the super-rich people who orchestrated this terrible tragedy. Her prime target is Kang Yoon Kyum, the CEO of the lucrative LY Group business empire, and one of the ringleaders of the plot that ultimately destroyed her family.
yeji was splendid. she's just so good at playing female manipulators. she made this drama very fun to watch. every time she walked in, every entrance she made was enthralling and full of confidence. it's quite literally impossible to focus on anyone else when SYJ is in the frame. the drama itself is a fun makjang where you don't have to take things seriously. i love revenge dramas and tbh this drama was a little lacking in the revenge department (i recommend my name if you want to watch a really good revenge drama) but it didn't lack in showing human emotions and how our connections with other people could either make or break us. love is good but only if practiced in moderation. for lee rael love is karma, for SEP love is patience, for HSR love is just another game to win and for KYG love is ultimate sacrifice. whether you approve or disapprove of their different ways of loving is up to you. at the end of the day, this show is about what love makes you do and not really about the process of doing those things. tbh the dilemma of hurting the man you love or betraying your parents by falling in love with the enemy that le rael faced was very interesting and actually made me like this drama so much more. i know a lot of people were disappointed by this exact plot point but lee rael isn't a revenge extracting machine, she's a human who embraced another human for the first time in her life and fell in love. to me it makes more sense than anything else in the show. still, some things could've been done better especially during the end. the outfit and makeup choices were...... questionable and did not exactly fit the cinematography and vibe of the show.
