The Story of Pearl Girl

If this drama is gorgeously made and the plot lines will keep you engaged. The emotional roller coaster with great pacing of the storyline guaranteed. The story begins at the lowest of ranks of social status but thru obstacles and tribulations, the leads characters undergoing growth that affected their destinies. A lot of empowering quotes that I can use in modern life. Despite the focus is there for the leads, other supporting characters also will be having their stories to tell and this will add another layer of complexity in this drama. Furthermore, the acting of the each actors and actresses are on point as well!

The whole show hasn't aired yet but I've seen 10 episodes so far. It's been good but kind of cheesy I mean they make the main character some kind of supernatural person. So she's good at literally everything she tries? She never fails? She can outsmart anyone and win any competition? I don't like shows where they make people super unbelievable and I also hate love triangles. Like pick or choose a dude for her don't tease that there could be two options for her (one is a dude who let her get whipped might I add) Iike what? They have her going through all of this abuse for a single relic that she technically can just describe to her long lost father. Plot just doesn't make sense. It's also a bit confusing to follow because EVERYONE is scheming something at all times. But I'm going to keep watching because I'm invested now.

A fantasy escape. A surreal plot and absence of deep character development. The acting was good, wardrobe lively, landscapes very picturesque. The instrumental background mysic was lovely. I liked the "family you choose" vibe. There are many feel good parts to warm the soul. The storyline drew you in at the beginning and later it seems like the director got somewhat lost. My interest began to wain with Epusode 17. The story relocated to the dessert which caused a big disconnect for me. It did not flow with the storyline. It was too fantastic. Yet, I would still recommend this show to others. It was pure uncomplicated enjoyment. A show too d numb from a stressful day and escape.
