It's a KDrama about a girl who was bullied during her childhood. She was burned with a hair iron.
She tries to kill herself. But then she decides to get revenge. And she goes on this long elaborate plan to get revenge.
It's a good cope.
And two things I took out of that was this.
There's a scene where one of her bullies says she's going to hell, and her reply is "Yeah, but heaven was never on my side."
Then there's another scene where she's helping someone else get their revenge, and she tells him "revenge is expensive".
Honestly getting revenge is the only motivation I have for not killing myself and wanting to make money. There are no longer any material things that I want. I won't get to have sex because of what my tormentors did to me. And I don't wanna grow old by myself.
"The personal, as every one's so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, TAKE IT PERSONALLY. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here—it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide out from under with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it PERSONAL. Do as much damage as you can. GET YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS. That way you stand a far better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference, the ONLY difference in their eyes, between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it's just business, it's politics, it's the way of the world, it's a tough life and that IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.
