It’s a shame that the first rape scene lacks tension. This is my first time watching a work by Ria Aiseria. I had been curious about her for a while, knowing she is a very beautiful actress. That’s why, when I learned a work with this theme was being released, I decided without hesitation to buy it. However, my honest impression after actually watching it is that I wished Ria’s acting had a bit more depth.
What stood out to me especially was the first rape scene. In rape works featuring a high school girl as the protagonist, I believe the element of “first time” is extremely important. A sexually immature girl who has never experienced sex or even kissing, or is awkward at it, being forced into her first sexual experience through an unexpected rape—isn’t that tragedy exactly what makes this genre so appealing to viewers who enjoy it? From that perspective, the first rape scene performed by Ria in this work seemed lacking in tension. I didn’t feel a desperate resistance against her stepfather, whom she “hates to death.”
As the story progressed, Ria’s acting of reluctance gradually improved, but it’s regrettable that continuing to watch with that sense of discomfort prevented me from immersing myself in the narrative.
On the other hand, the depiction of the process where Ria’s unwanted pleasure erodes her mind and body was very well done. As the rape by her stepfather becomes routine, while she verbally rejects him, she begins wearing sexy lingerie unbecoming of a high school girl—this clever use of direction to express the gap between her heart and body was splendid. That’s precisely why the lack of tension in the first rape scene feels all the more disappointing.
I believe the greatest appeal of high school girl rape works lies in the magnitude of the gap between “before the rape” and “after the rape.” The transformation of a girl with little sexual experience, innocent and pure, into a lewd, adult woman like a prostitute through rape—this gap is something that works with the same theme but featuring experienced housewives, university girls with imaginable romantic histories, or office ladies can never achieve. That’s why, in high school girl rape works, the first rape scene is extremely important.
But aside from such personal nitpicking (lol), it was absolutely wonderful to enjoy Ria’s body writhing under the unreasonable sexual violence she receives from her stepfather. This was a work I could watch from start to finish without fast-forwarding.
The performance leading up to her downfall was truly impressive. Ria Aiseria's role as a pure high school girl really suited her perfectly. Her refined facial features and beautiful proportions are captivating. In this work, her acting ability in the process of falling was outstanding. At first, she reluctantly accepts her stepfather's demands for the sake of her beloved mother, but as the scenes progress, the way she gradually succumbs to her stepfather's skillful techniques is clearly conveyed. By the end, she falls completely, so I highly recommend this work to those who enjoy storylines where a woman descends into depravity.
