What's more to say that it started well and invested with the first eps but downfall ending?
It was totally made perfectly especially not just for giving an adaption for a webtoon to be adapted in reality, but also the characters portrayed from the series made justice and enough character. The beginning made the viewers hooked and interesting. But going in the middle til the end of Baek Ah jin's era was a total dissatisfaction and disaster. I get it that she has that psychological trauma and condition, but I was hoping for more that this would turn to more worst. Its not a good ending, nor a bad ending, but it was an open ending of what turns next to Baek Ah Jin's fall from the fame. The cinematography was all good, the ost made so much intense and power in every scenes.
Speaking of its story and plot, it was really interesting that the fact that the first three episodes made me get edge on the seat and totally invested with the story. Well its not your typical kdrama genre about psychology, crime, thriller, but its nearly into noir and deep trauma. Everything was connected, but the last few eps that made Ah Jin married to a CEO agency company with a lot of intentions knowing that her friends, Yun Jun Seo and Kim Jae O warned her before she signed the contract was her total downfall. She like revenge and taking advantage to ruin a person that tempts her makes it vulnerable. I felt bad that Ah Jin's character was yeah portrayed well, but the ending was not enough that she was a total devil alive. The whole point of the drama and the story was getting to know more about Baek Ah Jin's motives in messing her emotions and decisions in messing up people's lives. She gets the fame but the downfall she had because of triggering trauma and hallucinations after she got married (+ entering a dumb ass role with the same plotlines and story about murder and a book JUST about her) made her ruin her identity even more. I liked the drama, but this was bad that I was expecting for more that what was from the webtoon being portrayed. It was also said ever since their reunion as friends that one of them would die, not until Ah Jin only survives only in fate. Kinda ruined it but appreciating the efforts made by the writer and director.
The casting was too perfect. I mean Kim Yoojung from her rookie roles and had a comeback with a promising image and aspect of her main role here as Baek Ah Jin. She was really into her role as what I saw from BTS scenes and said that she actually fainted during the scene where Ah Jin killed her father in her high school. Also to Kim Young Dae as I saw him from other crime and thriller from the Penthouse and others. This was also a perfect character and role from him but I don't like how the writer did his character. Lastly, to Kim Do Hoon in seeing him as supporting roles as well! I was happy to see his character well from the series and hopefully he would have better roles from his projects to come in the future. Really love the casting, rooting for them to shine and give recognition even more!! <33
