K-Drama School – Ep 139: Mask Girl and Complex Feminist TV

[Spoiler Alert] Grace celebrates the early phase of the full moon in Pisces—this month’s second Super Moon, and it is blue! She also celebrates finding a hat she loved and lost from five years ago. This week, Grace covers the show Mask Girl (2023, Netflix) which stars Lee Han-byul, Nana, Go Hyun-jung, Ahn Jae-hong and Yeom Hye-ran and explores lookism through black comedy and psychological thrill. Grace also notes a wonderful trend of complex feminist discourses on television that take inspiration from art house and indie cinema through shows like Anna, School Nurse Files, Somebody and Mask Girl that blend idiosyncratic voices with wild female radicality on TV shows for streaming platforms that would never be invited onto mainstream broadcasting spaces.
