Gyeong Hui is an influencer and business owner who is adored for the lovely image of her family. Her interior business is thriving, and she is trying to get closer to Su Jeong, the owner of a skin‑care clinic next door, because she realizes Su Jeong could help her secure an investment that would take her business to the next level. One day, after hearing rumors that her husband Jae Hyeong is having an affair, she follows him — only to be shocked when she discovers him handling a dead body. His explanation is even more devastating. “Are you saying my daughter Ye Ji hurt someone? So the affair isn’t the only problem?” To protect their success and their family, Gyeong Hui and Jae Hyeong bury the body in the garden of their mansion to cover up the accident. However, later that night, they receive a message: “I recorded everything you did yesterday. (Source: Welcon.kocca.kr/en; edited by kisskh) Edit Translation

A humorous unhinged thriller that makes you laugh while keeping you engaged
E(1-4)Has you hooked from the very first moment. I love how every character is busy showing off a fake side to the world and going to extreme lengths to keep the facade. "Not all that glitters is gold" .....the best way to describe both the families. There are no black or whites but every character is shades of grey and looking out for themselves. Both the first two episodes show the same situation but from different perspectives and the ending really makes you wish they dropped all episodes at once while third and fourth ep sets the stage for chaos.
E(5-8)
Doesn't loose it's spark and keeps you on your toes. Lots of revelations and a bigger mess to be cleaned out. The leads are really showing their true colors and as always everyone is looking out for themselves. This is one of the dramas where you don't even know who you want to root for or whether root for them at all. E6 ending was pure diabolically hilarious. The entire mess in the climax is absolute cinema and totally unhinged. As far as ending it is what you call satisfying.
Each actor is doing their jobs so phenomenally and the story so far is engaging. The humor is on point and doesn't derail the thriller moments. The ratings of this drama don't do justice to how fun it is to watch.

Must watch, if you’re 18+
The cinematography feels really fresh to me. The way this series was filmed reminds me of movie-level cinematography like ‘Parasite’ and ‘No Other Choice’. I’ve been watching K-dramas for 10 years, and I honestly don’t recall seeing anything filmed quite like this. Some scenes also remind me of ‘The Office’ a little bit, you know how sitcoms play with the camera and use those random zooms? 😆The premise is also very intriguing. I immediately wanted to know more about what would happen to the two families. Multiple things just go wrong at the same time, which leads to one misunderstanding after another, and honestly, it’s quite funny.
I also love how they retell the same story, or events from the same timeline, from different characters’ POVs. And they’re not dull or repetitive at all, because each POV adds more context to the story and gives the characters so much more personality.
Kim Hye Soo is so badass here! ❤️
