Genre fans can always count on Netflix for Korean horror and thrillers, and the streaming service’s newest show, Mask Girl, is a welcomed addition. However, it happens to have a novel approach concerning character development. Instead of relying on the time-honored tradition of constructing a narrative with a clear-cut protagonist and villain, the seven-episode miniseries is littered with plenty of anti-heroes. In short, none of the main characters are good people.While this may not go over well with some viewers since Mask Girl makes it challenging to pick an honest personality to root for, it makes a lot of sense. Due to the plot, which covers everything from bullying and objectification to murder and society’s obsession with beauty standards, there are no real winners. As a result, Mask Girl’s main characters live tough, arduous lives where it’s hard to be righteous. Still, that doesn’t mean some aren’t better than others.Despite only being seven episodes long, Netflix’s Korean black comedy thriller Masked Girl (based on the webtoon of the same name) covers a lot. With a narrative spanning over a decade, viewers are introduced to the tragic life of Kim Mo-mi (Lee Han-byeol/Nana/Go Hyun-jung), a young office worker who’s been picked on her whole life for being unattractive. Nevertheless, she lives a double life: while typically being a shy, unassuming woman by day, at night, Mo-mi dons a mask and hosts a risqué live-stream to garner the attention she craves. Nevertheless, this secret eventually catches up with her as a few online fans, particularly her coworker, Joo Oh-nam (Ahn Jae-hong) — an isolated outcast himself — learn her true identity.RELATED: How Doctor Who Helped Manifest Netflix’s One Piece
