a reminder of how scary humans can be
this review will contain spoilers đź‘Ź
I had this drama on my plan to watch but didn’t get to it until I needed to play something whilst I was working. it wasn’t until episode 5 that really got me interested
when we start out the story we see two narratives in play one of lawyer baek and yoon soo
we start to wonder which one is the truth? is it that of the lawyer saying she killed her husband or yoonsoo narrative that someone masked killed him
frankly I believed that this would your typical story of main female protagonist that gets abused and kills her husband then finds a way to dodge jail
but I was wrong
this drama also tells us how strong of a story the so called lawyers and police officer can tell the public and how easily we the public are swayed by such words of confirmation from authorities that plan to run with a side of one story that seems the most likely
it once again shows how weak and easy the justice system is, how many people have been accused wrongly by such “authorities”, how once again this so called justice of a system fails many people more than it can save and serve its justice that it is intended for
at first I kinda believed that yoon soo did kill her husband. then comes out 2nd key player Moeun
I don’t remember if she mentioned specifically why she helped yoon soo and why she did that but I really thought she might have been the main villain of this story in the beginning
later we find out that the family she killed was the family of the son who abused her little sister and made her jump
as the ball of yarn starts to unravel itself by the final episodes I can’t help but feel it started to get rather overwhelming because of the characters introduced which caused the final revelation to be rather underwhelming which a lot of shows whether western or Asian suffer from (some example are why she chose to film herself and go on livestream and the grandpa being rather random)
the acting from jeon doyeon and Kim goeun did not disappoint at all
I saw some comments saying how the killers motive wasn’t a motive at all and I very much disagree because as much as this is fiction this part does happen in reality
if you have ever seen any true crime stories or cases you would be very shocked to hear how many of the killers motives were rather petty
I’ve heard some stories from social media in news
such as a South Korean man sexually assaulted a random women simply because he didn’t like how she looked at him, crazy right?
people just don’t realize how scary we as a human kind can be and how just small words and the simplest stuff can be such a trigger to many people and they resort to violence
such as the wife snapping and killed yoon soo husband simply because yoon soo husband told a lie and the wife’s husband had to suffer at work due to his boss believing yoon soo husband lie
many people don’t realize just how scary pent up emotions especially frustration and negative emotions and how that can be a ticking time bomb
so I would just say it is possible for a killer to have a very petty and emotional reason to kill someone over the simplest thing as well as we also suffer from mental problems which can be a very big deciding factor on how the person will act in that moment without realizing it
overall it wasn’t bad, it was rather interesting but the 2nd half does fall short like many kdramas nowadays. the acting from the main female leads were great and it’s a rather slow story that pick up eventually
with the amount of dramas I’ve watched within like last year such as law and the city, speed and love,typhoon family and this , Thailand is really getting its spotlight lol it’s so popular
