#reminded me a bit of bong joon-ho's mother and park-chan wook's lady vengeance but make them all natsuo kirino's female noir characters 🖤

I was expecting something similar to Perfect Blue when I watched Mask Girl because I only saw the teaser and not the trailer, but god, I love that it was so much more than that as the story went on 🖤

#pen rambles #mask girl #i love how it sheds light to how sa and women are unfairly treated in the justice system #and the toxic beauty standards in korea #and how generational trauma is explored (all the mother-child relationships are *chef's kiss*) #i just really loved the latter half of the story #reminded me a bit of bong joon-ho's mother and park-chan wook's lady vengeance but make them all natsuo kirino's female noir characters 🖤 #i love how they handled the twists and developments too! the writing of this show is just brilliant ❤️❤️❤️ #i'm spouting a lot references but i love that mask girl is still its own thing!
