To what extent are you willing to go to get revenge?

A short drama built on vengeance.

The narrative of the story has a fairly basic revenge plot line; the main character seeks revenge for the death of her father. What makes the story somewhat unique imo is the determination of the protagonist and her depiction of a character who lives in pure agony and resentment for her father's killer (and the world for that matter). Han So Hee did an excellent job in portraying her character and she embodies the persona that is Jiwoo flawlessly and with precision.

“The plot twist” of the saga, however, was not precisely a “shocker” and was more or less predictable. The one she trusted the most turned out to be lying to her. And her father's killer was right in front of her this whole time. Which is exactly what had happened to Moo Jin, the one he trusted the most was lying to him all along. What goes around comes back around ig.

However, with all the turbulence aside, they both cared for each other deeply. Moo Jin could have let her go from the beginning, but he saw the persistence and boldness inside of her and decided to put it to use instead. However horrible that might be, he took care of his betrayal of a friend's daughter, when he couldn’t. He protected her and taught her how to protect herself.

In the end, she got what she wanted all along but maaaan what price she had to pay. She lost the only happiness she had found after her father died. And from that salty ending.. will she ever find peace? Is she at peace with herself? And what life will she be living now when her life's purpose has been “fulfilled”?
