Mask Girl

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.

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.

It hits on a lot of things to reflect on which I liked. Dark side of obsession in so many forms really. The actors did a good job, the fact it is dubbed was nice as well.

It is pretty dark and brutal. Kind of over the top really. Prepare for a wild trip driven by the thoughtless traumatizing and traumatized spiralling everyone into the abyss.

It was a perspective I found sobering really. Some real pervs in this one. The online camming was really the least interesting part of the series which is what I thought it was going to be about. You will not guess where this goes, you just have to watch the entire thing.

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.
