Burn that house down

Metaphorically speaking, they did. This crashed and burned in the most pathetic of ways, even the retribution felt unsatisfactory after that sub par build-up.

A good revenge drama needs a captivating plot, complex characters and good acting to bring all this forth, but what good is the third for when a drama lacks in the first two? Although technically the description doesn't promise much revenge, there is atleast the expectation that the female lead, the outsider, the “fish out of water”, would have a much more satisfying character arc. Instead, she's written in such a manner that all you can do is root for her and hopes she picks herself up while everyone around her mistreats her like they have no tomorrow.

This kind of treatment doesn't end with her, in an intricately weaved web of power dynamics, everyone you can root for is on the recieving end of the mistreatment. The only character who can be considered neutral doesn't get much screentime for us to deduce her intentions, she stays on screen as long as it takes her to leave. Everyone else is trash.

SA, violence, harrasment, these are just a few of the many heinous things these people did. They're overall complete trash, but watching them just sit and have their way while innocent people feel the brunt of their actions gets real tiring, real fast. The individual stories of all the characters they wanted to tell gets lost in the pointless power struggle in the family, and the stories that you want highlighted become a plot point move along the torment and tormenting nature of the characters.

The ending was unsatisfyingly satisfying. The kind of retribution provided against the actions was like a slap to the face, and even the fact that it all played out well for the lead was downplayed by the fact that she was tossed around left and right without a chance to stand tall throughout her journey to get her revenge.

Through the frustration and psychological torture, this was not a drama that was worth it.
