Mask Girl was such a disturbing show in its essence, its sole purpose meant to provoke the audience regarding the cruel standards that society sets upon women, and is emblematic of a depraved mindset where companionship is naught and loneliness seeps within your entire being. Its a society ruled by wealth and power and remains barbarous towards the youth who continue leading unfulfilling lives in every sphere and succumbing to beauty standards displays an outlet from their poverty. ( I remember reading a tumblr post about korean history and how the mindset of working till you affect yourself brutally is seeped within their mindset and it gave me a conspicuous look into korean society and somehow this show reminded me of the post) I really appreciate the show for abandoning the Instagram filtered, romanticized lens that occupy most kdramas ( they tend to relent towards romanticism esp in terms of depicting the reality of women) and illustrating the pervading violence encompassing their lives ( Kim Momi's life is fraught with psychological abuse) and men like Oh Namju who are an inbred product of the turpitude of many Asian societies.
