9/10 is my rating. This is a 2017/2018 South Korean coming of age drama. There are 12, 30 to 35 minute episodes. Also known as Revenge Note 1.

First I provide a synopsis then a review

Synopsis

When her dad stands up to a thuggish teenage group, the Zombies, they discover their high school junior, Hang-Gi is his daughter. To get back at the old man and really because they just like being bullies, the Zombies begin harassing and harming Hang-Gi. A classmate, and the most handsome and popular boy in that year, Shin Ji-hoon (Park Solomon also known by stage name Lomon) comes to her rescue. Hang-Gi receives a message on her phone asking if she wants to exact revenge. This happened before when her boyfriend cruelly dumped her. Each time she receives a nite asking if she wants revenge, the subject receives a note indicating they are marked for revenge, revenge happens then Hang-Gi is notified revenge is complete. But who is watching her to know she, orsomeone close to he, is in a situation where revenge is in order? She suspects everyone around her. Is it her brother’s friend turned idol, Cha Eun-woo (The Cha Eun-woo from Astro)? Is it her best friend Jung Deok-hee (Kim Hwan-hee) who is also very tech savvy?

Review
Dont we all wish, at times, we could just call up karma? This was a sweet, well acted, fast paced coming of age romance. No huge surprises other than the mystery of the revenge note. The main character is sweet and while she is a pushover it is only to a point. I recommend this to anyone that likes coming of age and wants some quick feel good vibes.

Spoilers
I starting watching this days after MoonBin of Astro died of suspected suicide. To see Astro make guest appearances was sad just knowing what happens in real life, but it was nice to see them at the same time. A couple of people in my personal circles have made that choice and every one I even hear about brings it back. So I was feeling so sad about the entire thing and heart broken for Cha Eun woo when I watched this not knowing Astro was in it. Cha Eun Woo as second guy was strange because it is hard to imagine him being second to anyone and the role he payed in this was as nice of a character as I understand he is in real life. Astro fans really should not miss this as they do make cameo appearances. Just maybe wait if seeing them will make you too sad. I really wanted to find out how revenge note came about and who is exacting the revenge, but it never reveals that part just hints at it. Her shart was so cringy for me but in American culture that would be extra level faux pas. Most Americans do not talk openly about that bodily processes not right or wrong just a cultural difference. So I had major second hand embarrassment going on with both her and her dad’s digestive woes. I thought her friend was unreasonable when she found out main girl knew Cha Eun woo and didn’t tell her because, as a fan girl, she should have understood why she couldn’t tell. I liked how main girl stood up for people even when they hadn’t always been great to her personally. It was a little much to believe there could be two incidents with alleged inappropriate behavior from teachers but was intersting to see how, in one case, it was true and, in the other it was false accusations. As you can tell for such a relatively short series it had substance.
