Mask Girl

The show is interesting so far a few episodes through but is anybody really buying that this chick is some hideous monster ? I mean she's extremely pretty with a great body and supposed to be smart with a good job. Where is the undesirable parts about her.? I understand they needed to get someone and I guess she doesn't look like the prototypical Asian girl (again I don't see it) . The looks aside of the main actress it is pretty funny and is definitely not some of the real garbage Netflix has been putting out lately and passing for series. I'll stick around and stay put for the rest but man is she so not ugly .

Binged watched this in a day. With the way it started, I had no idea it would end up the way it did. Each episode got stranger and stranger, I had no idea what would come next or how the story would come to a cohesive end.

Insanely addictive though, loved the themes it explored, how attractiveness dictates how you get treated by others, stalking, obsession, toxic family dynamics and how that affects one's future...

It was quite dark too, without spoiling anything, a lot more graphic than I initially thought it would be. Each episode followed a certain character, at first I wasn't sure about this way of setting the story out- but I ended up enjoying it as it was something that I haven't seen done before.

Overall, if you like dark mini-series that explore heavy subjects, with a twinge of black comedy, I would recommend this for you.

It's very unusual series.

At first I wanted to quit watching halfway through the second episode. But I continued to watch and my opinion completely changed. Each series is a separate chapter, revealing one of the characters, and together they are intertwined into one crazy story.

If you like tough social dramas with a hint of bloody madness, good twists and cool actors, then this series is for you) in my opinion, the series is comparable in impressions with the Parasites, I rarely see something so ambiguous and interesting. The more I think about my viewing experience for writing this review, the more I like it. I will definitely watch it a second time.

Ps this review was written using google translate as english is not my native language.

Yesterday I finished " Kingdom" and was pretty disturbed by it and next thing I know I'm watching another Korean thriller equally dark and disturbing! I've come to the conclusion that the Koreans are masters in dark thrillers and comedies!

Mask Girl will draw in all the people who ever suffered bullying and wished they could fight back but don't!

It also shows that no matter what , even getting plastic surgery to be more beautiful doesn't take away your troubles because your mind is still unchanged!

In these social media times we are in now the pursuit of perfection it relentless and destroying our young people!

The first episode is the starting point that leads into others becoming darker and darker ( and bloodier) while we are emphasizing with the characters. At times I'm having troubles telling the protagonists apart because they look so alike which is also a reminder to me of how alike and monotonous beauty images are on line and in the media nowadays!

The actors are very good in portraying pain, fear and misery ! Many of us have been in that dark place including me and therefore I understand the premise of this story ( to a certain extent of course but the violence and payback makes it more fun)!

I'm watching with original audio and English subtitles which makes it more authentic! I've become so good at doing this that I rarely Miss anything!

Highly recommend this series! A word of caution: the assault scenes are not for the faint of heart but are portrayed very truthfully!

We really were not expecting this. Described as a 'Dark comedy' which probably the first few episodes were, but then it went into full thriller mode with high school and prison drama.

I can understand the 18 rating with graphic violence and lots of blood but thankfully not so graphic sexual acts.

Definitely not for children. There's revenge, self discovery, bullying, misogyny, bullying, loneliness, betrayal, parental relationships and society's judgemental attitude's especially online.

Good character building and direction with back stories given black & white treatment or year subtitled. Script and storyline is pretty good with unexpected twists but some scenes needs reality check like many horror or thrillers.

One of the best K-dramas to date.
