The DramaNext guide
What Who's the Cruel X is about
Baek Da-hee, South Korea’s top actress, hides the horrific wounds of her past behind a glamorous spotlight. She has only one goal: to take revenge on Shin Ji-yul, the ringleader who ruined her life during her school days, and her accomplice Go Min-jung.
It runs 53 short episodes on Vigloo and leans on revenge, marriage drama and secret identity tropes, with each episode ending on a hook.
Is it worth watching?
If you came for revenge, the payoff is the slow build to a payback that lands hard. On top of that: a marriage that starts on the wrong foot and has to be earned.
The whole series takes roughly 1–2 hours, so it's an easy binge.
