Thought-provoking character study on luxury, identity, and narrative power.
If you enjoy complex characters that make you think hard about their motives, there is a lot to like here. The mystery is strong — quite a maze — but done in a way that reinforces the themes rather than simply solving plot points. And I love stories like that.
The way it examines luxury and identity is fascinating, especially how it weaves the power of narrative as the driving force behind both.
The acting was incredible. Especially Shin Hye-sun — which should be no surprise — she builds the character with such detail. Lee Yi Dam also stood out. I do wish they had spent more time on her character, but she absolutely nailed the role.
I thought episodes 7 and 8 could have stretched into one or two more episodes, but it’s hard to complain about a tightly told story.
As for the ending, it might upset some, but I thought it stayed true to the story — reinforcing the themes in a thought-provoking way rather than over-explaining.
Highly recommend this one.
