Brutal Cinderella
20 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Only 6 episode through and that's the impression, a modern, brutal take, on the Cinderella story where an social media nimph with integrity, honesty and innocence takes the online world in S Korea by storm.

Of course there's a love story, love triangle, murder, jealousy, threats, drug use, plot twists...Etc. But the evil bunch are really just way tooooooo one dimensional. That's including the lawyer husband, hervwife and the single guy love interest.

It is also a story that flips between 2 timelines. But even for a 12 episodes series the first 6 are very glamorous and didn't get going and dragging it's heels until episode 3.

Hope the 2nd half is better.

-----------

Ok 2nd half is better. But a bit rushed. Comes down to one trick pony - who is bbbfamous ...lol. But the theme is constant it's about the vanity of people obsessed with making it big, getting attention, followers and being the center of universe. And lastly, not stressed enough, what is the right thing to do. Nothing really new. And with social media, everyone has a chance.

But with the anonymity of online world, comes no responsibility, and not much consequences unless one has a conscience. In a way, it's a satire but with little else to say.
