Drama Digest
The drama follows a web writer who gets by his days as usual, working. His life appears to be sedentary. One day, he is left in a dilemma when one of his very own creations appears to have entered his world. And thus begins an unexpected arrangement between the creator and the creation. It is adapted from a novel which has the same title, i.e, “Farewell My Villain”.
The Feel-Good Part
The drama’s plot itself feels very funny. It has lots of comedy incorporated in it. So, you will never have to worry about being left unhappy. The dynamics of the characters also greatly add to the comedy and other aspects and contribute to bringing the story to life in a way that makes viewers feel they themselves are watching it.
The Disappointing Factor
The only disappointing thing about the show is how short it is. Anyone can complete it in one sitting and therefore, it leaves one longing for more. At the same time, the story lacks depth. The story feels one dimensional because it does not showcase the past or provide some more detailed back story for all the characters, and as such, falls short of it. As a result, the story feels like it lacks depth.
