Netflix Mask Girl cast and webtoon ending
As expected, people’s reaction after the release was great. As I enjoyed the original webtoon, I knew the shocking content in advance, so I roughly expected this kind of reaction. The content was somewhat depressing and hopeless, so I wondered if it would attract people’s attention in that respect, but in fact, it didn’t matter much because it was released on Netflix.
The overall plot was similar, but there were quite a few different parts, especially in the ending, so if you enjoyed this, I recommend watching the original. It’s a little more excessive and a little more irritating. I’m so glad that this kind of work was made on Netflix. Let’s find out the mask girl drama review, the characters, and whether it’s season 2 or not.

I was really surprised to see this official video released on the 16th. I wonder if this is what the man and woman who read comics are talking about. Among the live-action webtoon works, I think it has the highest synchro rate ever. In the case of Ahn Jae-hong, who played the role of Joo-onam, it was already revealed in advance, so I was afraid of it, but the appearance of actor Lee Han-byul, who played the role of Seong-hyeon and former Momi, was really shocking. How did they cast actors who looked so similar? I thought the production team prepared really well.
This work depicts the life story of a woman who lived three lives with three names and committed three murders. Kim Mo-mi, an ordinary office worker who has a complex about her appearance, works as a personal broadcasting BJ while covering her face with a mask every night. She has an awfully ugly appearance, but she also has an awfully beautiful body. So, while gaining popularity, his identity is discovered, and his life turns upside down as he gets caught up in an unintended incident. Interesting story.
Since the original work lasted for 3 years to the 3rd part, I wondered how the vast mask girl plot could have been moved, but this is a very good adaptation. Director Kim Yong-hun, who was in charge of directing and writing this work, received very good reviews with his previous work, ‘Beasts Who Want to Grab Straws’, and I can trust and watch this person’s work in the future.
And another character! The performance of Ahn Jae-hong, who plays the role of Joo Oh-nam, is also worth mentioning. No, the acting was great, but the synchro rate with the original was really crazy. It was so absurd that I could only laugh when I saw him revealed through the first teaser video. I think I personally showed that this is what an actor should be like. It’s not a real look, but it’s said that every time I shoot, I put on makeup for 2 hours. Because of his existence, I enjoyed watching it very much, and I am leaving a review like this.
Lastly, a new actress who played the role of Momi before plastic surgery! Although Mask Girl Lee Han-byul did not wear any makeup, she is very similar to the original. In terms of content, it was supposed to be the same size as Nana, who plays Momi after plastic surgery, but as you can see from the photos from the press conference, the two are almost identical in appearance. So there was no awkward feeling. For reference, the mask that Kim Mo-mi uses in an internet broadcast before plastic surgery was modeled after Nana’s face. It represents the ideal face that Momi dreamed of before plastic surgery.

Before the ending of Mask Girl, I want to applaud the amazing acting of the cast. The acting of each member of the cast shined. In particular, even the acting of the rookie actor Lee Han-byeol shined. It was said that she was selected through the competition rate of 1000 to 1, and she played the perfect Kim Mo-mi. It showed a synchro rate very similar to the original cartoon. This Mask Girl is a special drama. Three actresses act according to the age of the main character Kim Mo-mi. Adding child actors, more actors expressed Kim Mo-mi.
Cast _ Lee Han-byeol / Nana / Ko Hyeon-jeong
Lee Han-byeol, a rookie actor in her 20s, played the role, and Nana plays the changed appearance after plastic surgery. And Goh Hyun-jung plays a 40-year-old imprisoned for a long time. Before watching the drama, I was worried that if I played 3 people in 1 role, my appearance would change so much that I would lose my immersion.
Things changed before and after plastic surgery, so it was natural to move from Lee Han-byul to Nana. The problem is that Go Hyeon-jung is in her 40s, but after watching it, there was no need to worry. The traces of the years were buried on her face and she was able to meet Kim Mo-mi, who became deeper and more immersed.
Cast _ Joo Oh-nam / Ahn Jae-hong
In addition, the acting of Ahn Jae-hong, who played Joo Oh-nam, was perfect. It was so realistic that the intimidated appearance and otaku appearance at home, school, and society seemed to be determined and acted. If it wasn’t for Ahn Jae-hong, I can’t think of a replacement who would have played Joo Oh-nam.
Cast _ Kim Kyung-ja / Yeom Hye-ran
Lastly, Yeom Hye-ran, who played Kim Kyung-ja, was amazing. I dare say, she was the real protagonist. Not only did he act in a dialect, but he also portrayed his crooked personality beautifully. If it wasn’t for her acting, the second half of Mask Girl would have collapsed powerlessly. I dare say, but the real protagonist was Kim Kyung-ja and Yeom Hye-ran. Anyway, it was a mask girl where great actors gathered and had a great acting showdown. For reference, there will be a lot of spoilers from now on, so if you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend turning back.
