Who is Sarah Kim?
The entire plot of this drama can be summed up in a single question: Who is Sarah Kim?
While it may seem a simple question, it's actually the most asked question throughout the drama. There are 8 eps and each episode is titled after the alleged victim's (Sarah Kim) various identities (except the final episode). From the very beginning, it is established that Sarah Kim is NOT Sarah Kim or a socialite. She's a meticulously ambitious con-woman, or "entrepreneur".
What I LOVED about the drama:
1. Pace: I really liked how the plot was paced, and each revelation as well.
2. Acting: Loved SHS and LJH in the drama. Have seen some of their previous works (I admit I haven't seen Stranger where both of them star in) and I feel they are two of the most underrated actors in the industry. They have a style, a special signature in the characters that they play that I can't really point a finger at. Both of them really pulled off their characters very well, and so did the other actors as well.
3. Story: Obviously. I was always on my tiptoes whenever something new was revealed. Although the twists weren't jaw-dropping I'll admit, I genuinely felt indulged in a drama of the mystery genre after such a long time. It was quite nice to see a mystery drama being a mystery to the core.
What I didn't LOVE as much: There's really only one thing I wasn't a big fan of the ending. Not specifically the ending, but the fact that how the most-asked question and the ENTIRE PLOT of the drama wasn't answered.
However, it really does do justice to the mystery genre and I'm happy with how the entire story comes together. "Who is Sarah Kim?" is really the beginning and the ending of the drama- and yeah, it was pretty fun and indulgent and mysterious.
I think anyone who likes mysteries (especially something like TRUNK) will like this as well.
Thanks for reading!
