La chica enmascarada

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.

This is based on a webtoon and congratulations to the casting crew as they managed to get very similar actors to the characters. It is a story about a girl who has craved fame since childhood but because she does not meet the required standards of beauty of society she fails not only in her quest for fame but also her personal life. She comes up with the idea of wearing a mask in her internet videos and she becomes popular, but from this comes a downward spiral as her life falls into chaos. There are 3 actors who play mask girl and the timeline moves forward and back but is well worth sticking with it as it does have an unexpected twist. The series can move slow at times but once the pressure ramps up you are really tensed up until the end. Well written adaptation and superbly acted, very much worth a watch.

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!

I'm a bit conflicted by this series. I also watched this without knowing what to expect, and was so surprised by the dark turns and twists. You keep watching because you want to know what will happen. But at the same time there's something missing. Acting is good.

All the characters are unlikeable, some more than others, so you don't care much for anyone, you became a witness of the story, but not really connected to anyone, at least the first 4/5 episodes.

Some back stories unnecessary, and some things that are very important, are not show at all.

The big problem is that we are left with many unanswered questions.

Some things are not believable and the more i think about it, more ridiculous it is.

Maybe this is supposed to be 100% true to the webtoon, but i think it could be much better with some changes.
