An absolute gem
I arrived at this title following the director's name, the same one directing the gorgeous epic "Three Kingdoms", of 2010.
That was a monumental film, both literally and figuratively.
This one is a 24 episode long little gem which is a thrill to watch, and bordering on thriller, at some point.
The chilling story of an abusive husband, which deployes the whole arsenal of isolating the victim, unfolds before our eyes.
No verbal abuse and little physical abuse, towards the end, and yet one watches gasping for air how the spider web entangles the victim to the point of anihalation.
Superb acting, chilling few notes as musical background, and lines spoken in low, husky voices makes this another kind of gem delivered by this director.
Of course, there is the mandatory redeeming ending, which is rushed in the final three episodes.
But that is a small price to pay, given the previous 21 episodes of sheer evil unfolding.
Masterpiece !
