The visuals are beautiful, and there are a few well‑crafted lines. The concept itself is promising. But overall, the drama felt dull at times. The lead actress caught my attention more with her beauty than with her performance; her cold, distant expression didn’t leave much of an impression — it’s the kind of acting you see in many Korean dramas. The story doesn’t build real tension, because nothing meaningful actually happens on screen.

The police investigation is also weak — there were no chills, no sense of real danger or mystery. The main message of the drama seems to be about how wealthy people obsess over luxury brands. It was an interesting starting point, but that’s all it ever becomes. The entire plot revolves around handbags, and even the other characters — the rich women — seem to care about nothing else. What about clothes, cars, real estate, jewelry? A handbag isn’t the only symbol of luxury.

The backstory of the main character felt strange as well. Even if she avoided public records as an adult, she would still have a passport, personal data, employment history, signed contracts — some trace of her identity. It was odd that the police couldn’t figure out who she was. Even opening a bank account requires proper identification.

The protagonist herself didn’t evoke any interest — no fear, no sympathy, no hatred. Even in the flashbacks, she shows the same blank, dissatisfied expression. It feels like her entire personality revolves around handbags, and that’s it. Because of that, watching the drama became boring for me.
