Driven to avenge her father’s death whatever be the stakes, Ji Woo realizes her two handicaps: her gender and being overly emotional. “I sacrificed my future and name for revenge”-it’s a chilling statement by Yoon Ji Woo ( Han So Hee) in “My Name,” which sets the template of the show. However, Seo Ye Ji as the femme fatale in the game of power payback shines, and her facial expressions and fashion game are always on point. “Eve” does fall short on certain counts, and as a viewer it makes you wish Eun Pyung’s character had a better arc and that there was more backstory in how Ra El transformed herself as Sun Bin other than in flashbacks. As Ra El seduces Yoon Kyum, she is well aware that she is playing with fire and will get scalded. But Ra El has been meticulously planning her vendetta to destroy Yoon Kyum and Pan Ro, and she starts by befriending Yoon Kyum’s wife Han So Ra ( Yoo Sun). Years later, she returns under a different identity as a ballet teacher named Kim Sun Bin with a daughter in tow.
After her mother goes missing and her father’s company is taken over by LY Group, Ra El escapes with the help of a human rights lawyer named Seo Eun Pyung ( Lee Sang Yeob). Ra El was witness to her father’s brutal death, a conspiracy by Kang Yoon Kyum ( Park Byung Eun), the CEO of LY Group, and Han Pan Ro ( Jeon Gook Hwan), a corrupt and manipulative politician who is now prime minister. Revenge is indeed a dish best served cold, and Lee Ra El ( Seo Ye Ji) has been marinating in hate since she was just a teenager. We also can’t forget about Lee Do Hyun as the plastic surgeon Joo Yeo Jeong, who is smitten with Dong Eun and battling his own trauma but asks her to take him on as her swordsman. Dong Eun is a character you cheer for and applaud, and you can’t wait to see the ruination that befalls her bullies in Part 2. Cloaked in grays and blacks, her colorless shroud is a reminder of crushed dreams and innocence lost. Song Hye Kyo gives one of her career’s best as the now hardened and desensitized Dong Eun. Though Yeon Jin and her gang of four are still close, Dong Eun, aware of their socioeconomic dynamics, has her strategies well in place and is determined that in their destruction lies her redemption. Yeon Jin’s husband Ha Do Yeong ( Jung Sung Il) also meets Dong Eun at the Go club and finds himself drawn to this mysterious and quiet woman unbeknownst of her agenda. Though still traumatized by the events of the past, Dong Eun, who holds immaculate credentials as a teacher, transfers herself to the school and class of the daughter of her chief tormentor Yeon Jin ( Lim Ji Yeon). Meek and helpless, Dong Eun is tempted to end her life but channelizes her rage into working hard and carefully plotting revenge against her perpetrators who left her broken and scarred. Meet Moon Dong Eun ( Song Hye Kyo), who was subject to extremely violent bullying and assault by four of her classmates in school as a young teenager. The one who inflicted the injury must suffer the same.
“Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, fracture for fracture. It’s time to dial r for revenge and take a look at seven ladies who defiantly dished out what they were served coldly and calculatedly with their mental and physical strength. From being casual bystanders to the conscientious voice of reason in tales of vengeance, women are fighting their own battles, courageously taking the stairway to redemption.īe it a jilted wife, a young teen ruthlessly bullied, or a daughter avenging the wrongs done to her family, K-dramas have given us some gripping thrillers helmed by female leads. However, revenge has more often than not been synonymous with male characters, while a woman’s quest for retribution is more regarded as unnatural. “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” is a phrase frequently heard and used.
