Great Start, Underwhelming Finish

Many people have been quick to give this series a perfect 10 after watching just a few episodes, but in my opinion, it doesn't quite deserve that praise. The show started off with a great concept and an exciting premise, and for the first few episodes, it was genuinely engaging. However, as the story progressed, it lost its momentum and began to feel like a typical, average K-Drama.
The character development was lacking, and the characters didn’t evolve in a meaningful way, which made it hard to stay connected to them. Though the acting was solid, I never fully immersed myself in it; there were moments where it felt like the actors were merely performing, not truly living their roles.
I do believe reviews should be written after watching the entire series, not just the first few episodes. This is definitely not a 10/10 in my book.
