We have our first look at Song Hye Kyo's new drama, which is described as a revenge melo.

I'm not a huge fan of Song Hye Kyo, though I do think that she can be solid in the right role. And, I do love Lee Do Hyun, who is her co-star.

It's just.. I'm not sure how I feel about the premise.

..Which is that Song Hye Kyo's character endures bullying while a student in high school, and years later, she returns to the same high school as a teacher, and starts planning to take revenge on her bullies' children, who are now her students. 

Doesn't that sound really quite messed up? 😅

ALSO. I don't think I'd be able to take it, if Lee Do Hyun turns out to be her student, and if Show tries to introduce a loveline between them. It really didn't work for me in Melancholia, so I doubt a teacher-student romance in this would work for me now. 😅

THAT SAID. We don't know if there's a loveline between Song Hye Kyo's and Lee Do Hyun's characters. I'm just speculating, based on what Dramaland tends to do, in stories like this.

Show is 8 episodes, and is due to drop on Netflix on 30 December 2022. 

FYI, it's rated 18+ for violence and profanity.

KFG ❤️

Not my cup o’tea either. The whole taking previous bullying out on your students is reprehensible for a teacher and the possibility that she would have a relationship with the Lee Do Hyun character also niggles quite a bit. Since they are the main characters listed, it sure seems like it will go that way.

I do wonder if they'll make Lee Do Hyun play a teacher, instead of a student? I would feel better about that, though the revenge on kids thing still weirds me out 😅

I recently watched SHK in Now We Are Breaking Up and I felt her performance fell way flat. How anyone could appear flat while playing opposite Jang Ki Yong is a mystery to me. I actually liked her early performance more than the more recent years. However, I am still going to take a look for two reasons - writer Kim Eun Sook and actor Lee Do Hyun. I will bail at the first hint of cray cray though, but I am going to try this.
