I binge-watched this drama of a woman overcoming her fear and misunderstandings to grow stronger and fearless.

Characters are absolutely amazing. They all have very clear motives, are amazingly written and are overall very believable. Even villains here are interesting. All the characters are in grey shade. But that's how we humans are, aren't we??

The series started the best it could but I feel like it lost its momentum half way through...few episodes were dragging, repetitive and boring. But ending was a blockbuster.

Acting: Kim Sa Rang: She is pretty but straight face, she doesn't have any expressions on her face which was the main ingredient of this drama. So, yeah she lacked here.

Yoon Hyun Min: He did a splendid job here as well. By far this one is his best work till date.

Side characters: The best thing I liked about this drama is that it gave importance and screen time to all the characters. All the actors did justice to their respective characters.

Overal the story is fine. Its nothing extraordinary, its decent to say the least. Decent plot twists, decent scenarios, decent premises for every episode.

There were sad, comic, a bit of romantic, some unexpected moments. The characters were joy to watch.

PS: Yoon Hyun Min- Ye banda kuch zyada hi handsome hai.

Korean Drama 'Goddess of Revenge' was a let down of a revenge drama.

The story, though it starts out strongly and introduces some pretty compelling characters, it doesn't keep up the momentum. Rather, it decreases in entertainment value gradually to reach the well expected and predictably lukewarm ending. And the main culprit of that outcome is the main story. Even though the small cases that were presented were suspenseful and thrilling, the main story was a been there seen that. It was cliche, with boring villains and a confusing and thus, messy mystery. The romance that was added was unnecessary and the main characters were uninteresting and too basic with no extra qualities to set them apart from the rest. At least the side characters were pretty dynamic and strong to support the plot.

Finally, the performances were pretty decent and the OST generic.

So, overall, 3 out of 10.

It's never a good sign when a drama have a bad set up from the very beginning. At least that helped eliminating any expectations I had to begin with. Unfortunately, the drama failed to make any substantial recovery or improvement after its lackluster beginning. It can be deemed as one of the most soulless revenge dramas out there. Even trashy revenge soap operas have more to them compared to this disappointment. Furthermore, the cast and overall production of the drama were barely average, at best. One particular aspect that showed how lousy the writing was is how they felt obligated to pair everyone in the last episode despite the drama having no romance or similar direction.
