Apologies for the amateur review, this is my first one.

Maybe it's because I'm a young person myself but this movie really hit home. As a highschooler, your world view can only be so big. Your first instinct is to run away when you face situations like the ones in the movie.

It's not like the movie was done extremely well, but I particularly liked the ambiguity at the end. The lead felt that there is no right or wrong when you're trying to protect someone. If it means tarnishing yourself, then so be it.

And I take it back, it's not just a slight influence, I'm really biased towards the movie. It has a special place in my heart. I hope other people enjoy watching it too and share my feelings. I know my review is all over the place and I thank you for reading it.

Right, well the concept idea behind writer Blanche Chiang's 2020 movie definitely sounded interesting, and it dealt with issues that are very real on a daily basis for a lot of people around the world. Hence, I opted to sit down and watch "Hâ luô shàonû: Girl's Revenge" as I had the opportunity here in 2022.

Needless to say that I hadn't heard about this 2020 Taiwanese drama prior to stumbling upon it two years after it was released. And given my fascination with Asian cinema, of course I had to watch it. So I sat down to see what director Weica Wang had to offer with this movie.

I am sure that if you are a teenager and attending high school or college, then you will find much more appeal in "Hâ luô shàonû: Girl's Revenge" than I did, as a man well into my 40s. I found the storyline to be rather trivial and somewhat quite out there in terms of what seemed plausible, and just had a hard time getting into the atmosphere of the movie. And keeping track of the characters and their motivations just felt cluttered.

Yeah, so "Hâ luô shàonû: Girl's Revenge" wasn't really my cup of tea. But then again, I suppose I wasn't the right target audience for it, so go figure. It should be said though, that despite of the movie not really having any appeal to me, then it does deal with issues that are important.

The acting performances in the movie were quite good. I wasn't familiar with the cast that participated in the movie, but they did good jobs with bringing the story to life on the screen.

Ultimately then "Hâ luô shàonû: Girl's Revenge" was not a movie that fell into my liking.

My rating of director Weica Wang's 2020 movie "Hâ luô shàonû: Girl's Revenge" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I liked this. It just felt well done throughout, perhaps only unravelling a little at the end. It's a "teen" film but not dumbed down and manages to cover a lot of depth without being boring or patronising the viewer. Gentle subtlty combined with good writing and acting.
