Every moment of the 8 episodes had purpose, was intentional and added to this story of seeking redemption for years of pain and lost of honour.

MDE (the Female Lead) played by Song Hye Kyo and Jung Ji So had all the believable traits of tortured, fearful, hopeless youth to lifeless yet focused vengeful adult. I liked how the character evolved over time and how the writer skillfully showed that transition in a short period of 1-2 episodes. I am mildly surprised that SHK could pull off silent rage so well. I hope we see the full range of rage from her in the next chapter of the story. I still don’t feel sure of how she would show up given the wreck that was NWABU.

The casting has been great - from the ever in control husband, to the dysfunctional solidarity and toxic relationships of the gang - each aspect has been believably portrayed. It’s terrifying how youth, in its fearlessness and naïveté can be so cruel.

What does it look like to dedicate your existence to revenge? What does it take to be violent? Do these stories exist among us? These gripping, thought-provoking and entertaining 8 episodes are totally worth your time.

ps. still not sure what the role of LDH’s character is. Apart from teaching MDE Go… the emotional connection and her willingness to bare all is a bit of a leap. Knowing her, this too might be part of her master plan after all.
