No, not just you. It looks underexposed. It looks like when someone wants something to look dark, so they just use less light and it just turns out looking flat and underexposed. If you want it to look dark, then you light it up without letting the light bounce off the walls so it isn't flat, then stop down. You get nice shadows, and it looks "dark" but the lit parts are properly exposed.

good thing about RAW is you can change ISO / exposure after the fact.
Yes, but you can't change high key to low key, or if it's flat in post. You can just make it look strangely brighter.

no you can't change ratios all that easy, but the comment was made that it looks underexposed. RAW will give you ample flexibility in post to adjust it without necessarily other tonal areas.
But I know what you are saying - the face in general is "barely" exposed relative to the highlights coming from both back sides of the main talent.
