Mask Girl

Yo, fellow binge-watchers!

Just want to share my thoughts on this Netflix gem - "Mask Girl." Trust me, this show isn't just your regular popcorn entertainment - it's like a rollercoaster ride for your feels!

Each episode is like a whole new plot, from office craziness to family stuff and a bit of dark humor. But here's the kicker: every character's the star of their own show. You see their side of things.

But what sets "Mask Girl" apart? It's the crazy uniqueness. This ain't your run-of-the-mill show,. It's like a mix of dark and gritty, with Twists. And the way they blend it all? Mind-blowing. Kudos to the writer for coming up with this twisted, mind-boggling concept.

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 .

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!

This is another great Korean drama that is worth your time.

I had no idea what the story was going to be about and even as I was watching the show, I could not predict where the story would go.

I don't want to give too much away, but each episode is a unique point of view that progresses the plot and keeps the show fresh and unique.

The last couple of episodes bring to mind the early work of Park Chan Wook, which is never a bad thing.

I wish the US made shows like this, but it seems like Korea is producing far more interesting tv shows than the US.

I'd also advise watching it with subtitles rather than overdubs. The overdubs are never as good.

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.
