Disgusting propaganda and meaningless history

A fundamentally problematic series because its ending turns out to be Israeli propaganda, no matter how much it wants to change the names. It turns a blind eye to who are the perpetrators of the genocide taking place in Palestine.

But even if we ignore its problematic ending, it is a series with little to highlight. Some screenwriters confuse “more story” with “good story”. Then they unleash stupid, implausible, messy, chaotic, and difficult-to-understand plot twists just to leave the viewer with their mouths open, although the only thing they do is distort the plot and the initial themes of their story.

Chae Soo-bin gives a good performance, but overall, this drama is pathetic, with the initial intentions of talking about a marriage in crisis and then getting into an inept thriller with lost siblings, serial killers, and a war pulled out at the last minute. It's an embarrassment that takes viewers for fools as it pulls out a more ridiculous twist than the previous one in every episode.
