Dark Hole Episode 1 Reactions
Personally, from the first episode, this show has some 'The Wailing' x 'Sweet Home' vibes.There just wasn't enough screen time for each character before we jumped to the next. Just as I was learning more about Lee Hwa-Sun, we move to Yoo Tae-Han. The pacing is... alright. I think it just needs to slow down and stop these abrupt jumps to other characters, although their intention may be to increase tension and suspense between scenes. But that's just my opinion. Overall, I do like this first episode as it raises a lot of questions that can be hopefully answered by the time the show ends. .
