"Vengeance Season 1": Beauty is also a Warrior

It's unbelievable that the first season ended like this.

There are many regrets. For example, I firmly believed that the show had 2 heroines, Victoria and Emily. However, Victoria slowly boarded the cabin and walked towards the end of her life in the oracle-like singing of Lana Del Rey. . Maybe she'll take another form like Emily's father, David, but she's so deeply complicated, her shrewd scheming, and her aptly ladylike temperament that she should have lived a little longer.

In contrast, Emily seemed so trembling, walking on thin ice, and of course she could always save herself from danger in the end.

Emily was born in the image of an angel of vengeance, showing extraordinary power like the heroine of Sidney Shelton's novels. But at the same time, she is still immature. Compared with Victoria, she is trapped in the quagmire of personal feelings and cannot bravely pursue what she loves. She carries out her revenge plan almost by instinct, and more often, she is a lone warrior, walking alone in the illusory world where the upper class society is gradually failing.

The show's first season has a near Dickensian twist of fate, with a little girl who loses her father at ten, goes into juvenile detention for violent tendencies, and leaves as an adult with a huge fortune left by her father. It turned out that his father was accused of so-called treason because of a malicious frame from a friend. So, she embarked on the road of revenge. After an unimaginably hard training, she managed to transform into another identity, an heiress from Europe who inherited her father's wealth (of course there are bugs in it), and attracted what she believed to be the culprit of her father's death - Grayson The eldest son of the family. At the same time, she also reunites with her childhood playmate, the implicit but affectionate Jack, and transcends the feelings of her old friend, because her identity can only endure the pain of unrecognizable.

Emily carries out her revenge plan almost with an instinct. More often, she is a lone warrior, hiding a sharp blade in her hand, and walking alone in the glitzy world where the upper class is gradually failing.

Especially when Fu Yi appeared on the stage and brought down the accomplices who had participated in the frame of her father one by one with a fierce offensive, it was really fast and cool!
As you go deeper into the enemy camp, the level of bosses gradually increases, and it becomes more and more difficult to overthrow them. Even the real big bosses have only just been revealed by the end of the season. ——This turn of events makes the whole story confusing. Compared with ×××, this suspense will be directly related to how long this drama can be played. Because unlike "24" and "Agent", which are also heroic dramas, this story is coherent, and Emily is not a professional Villain Killer. This also means that if the show is going to go on, it may be more ridiculous. . .

Finally, we must commemorate the biggest soy sauce brother in the show (and relatively short-lived), the villain and victim who created the most suspenseful plot - Tyler. The tension and aura of her performance are almost beyond Emily's.
