Major Spoiler Ahead!
A girl has a dream to be a star since her childhood, but the road wasn't that smooth. She can sing. She can dance. But her face wasn't pretty enough. So her dream faded day by day, until she became a white collar worker. Her name was Kim Mo Mi.
But internet era brought up some new uncharted opportunities. Kim Mo Mi became Mask Girl. A mysterious dancer and singer on the internet with her mask on. Many men fell for her, because of her perfect body and intimate behaviour online. And that's when the storm coming in.
This series wasn't mean for the faint of heart. It showed many dark sides of the society and evil faces of human being. Rape, torture, bullying, mutilation, murder, rejection, human trafficking, destructive gossips, affairs, corruption, you name it what the worst could a person possibly does and you will find it here.
Kudos to the actress who played Kim Mo Mi: Lee Han Byeol (this was her debut), Im Jin Ah (Nana saranghae) and the perfect Go Hyun Jung. And my special compliment to Yeom Hye Ran. After her special appearance on The Glory series, she shone brightly again in Mask Girl. Her devilish character was so tangible that I felt a chill down my spine every time she appeared on the screen.
So, after all that many compliments, why only 7/10?! Because the last 20 minutes ruined it. I could forgive two junior high school girls who still have time to cry and hugging each other in time of crisis, but Kim Mo Mi who didn't finish off her nemesis for the second time really didn't make any sense. Kim Mo Mi already sentenced for live, so killing one more person would made no difference at all. And all those special force policemen that pointed the riffle, did no one has the ability to shoot the arms or fingers of an old lady to stop her before she could do any damage?! Really?!
I know the director/script writers wanted to stay true to its source, but adaptation doesn't have to be 100 percent exactly the same as its source. However, this is a good series and you won't be disappointed watching it.
Thrilling 7/10.
