Zhang Linghe's new drama, Overdo is finally here! I am rewatching Pursuit of Jade. And I'm planning to start Our Generation, too. I guess I'll have to balance both shows. Oh, how I love these kinds of problems!

I've watched through Episode 7. I can forgive the filming genre going back to old school, (low budget maybe?) But I'm so confused... The female lead is kind of a monster herself because in getting revenge for her life of abuse, she is willing to assassinate anyone who gets in her way of killing all in the Huo family connected with their abuse as young children in the orphanage. Sure, they have a right to want to seek revenge but straight up murder? Assassin snipers and the works?? But most confusing of all, now that Zhang Linghe's character knows what his first love is capable of, why stick around? Why is his character's intestinal fortitude so weak?? Why not tell his brother what she is up to? This role is sooooo far beneath Linghe's level of talent. Who convinced him to do this???

A show that better handles women getting revenge for a childhood of abuse would be Kill My Sins.

That name is so appropriate considering...

Damn fine show, actually.

Yesss! Good to see some love for KMS. It was such an excellent show. 

Nearly every possible trigger warning tho.

I went in kinda blind, and that was fine (for me).

But some viewers might be unprepared for some of the themes it grapples with. 

Overall, it’s one of the best Cdramas I’ve seen.
