What is wrong with MDL ratings?? This is better than CELEBRITY in terms of showing reality.
Mask girl is one of those drama which i avoid to watch because of MDL rating. Since every other basic romcom drama get 8.5 rating , that's why dramas below 8 look average to me but I was so wrong . SO WRONG!
Story - This drama story is one rollercoaster ride of emotions. Despite being fast paced i get well connected to every character. One of the plus point is that they show story from each charcater POV which make it remarkable. Yes, some characters are borderline psychopath but the way of storytelling make people feel bad for them too at one point.
Momi as a main character is something we don't get often to see in kdramas. She is not your kdrama type grey character but indeed a actual representation of grey character. First episode was su disturbing due to her delusions that i keep screaming GIRL WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? She made some horrible choices and faced consequences too. Nothing was whitewashed in this drama at all. However , as the drama grows , Momi's character also grows which is done phenomenally.
Rest of characters are great as well and have some remarkable traits unlike normal kdrama where side-characters have nothing to offer. .
The ending might look terrible to some but it's very good for me . All the things can be little dramatic but it is on point. Momi sacrificed her life to protect her daughter and it was no waste. Mimo grow up as an understanding and kind person, who doesn't let society standard defines herself and have power to forgive people and move on.
Acting - I don't know what i can say , from the little child to each character, acting is top notch
Music - Good but nothing new or outstanding.
Rewatch value : I would love to rewatch it anytime. Very short and entertaining.
Last not least, I am so disappointed in MDL. Every other romcom drama get 8 or 9 ratings. Why thriller, dark , adult drama without romance always suffer worst?
