Review of Anna

Anna (2022)
7/10
Slow paced... main protagonist is a disappointing character

Warning: Spoilers
Part of my disappointment is on me, because I was led to believe the main protagonist had Ripley's Syndrome and that this was going to be a thriller about how she would become delusional to get the life she wants. It even alludes to that kind of plot in the beginning.

Aside from that though, this drama was just okay. It was very slow-paced, and one thing that didn't make sense to me was how she went from a top-tier student to having to retake the exam 3 times. If this was because of her re-schooling, that wasn't clear. It made her seem like she was going to be a clever, cunning character. However, throughout 99% of the show, Yu-mi was easily walked on and pushed around. It never seemed like she did anything intentionally.

Overall, I was hoping for a thrilling show about a woman using her smarts and cleverness to get her way in life. But it turned out to be more of a slow-paced melodrama about a woman who committed identity fraud and got away with it through luck.
