I have nobody to speak to about this!
This is a 10/10 show through and through. The plot is well written, the acting is amazing, the pacing is impeccable, and the resolve is perfect. I was hooked from start to finish. It did not feel like it was dragging on at any point. The characters are so perfectly portrayed to the point where you feel actual anger seeing some of them on the screen. Although the show is very emotionally heavy from start to finish, the incorporation of lighthearted moments between the main character and the detective, as well as Ha Seol, gives the viewer a little bundle of hope they can hold on to till the end. This was an amazing watch from start to finish, and I would recommend this to anyone that values quality.Was this review helpful to you?

I am literally GAGGED
I started watching this because somebody recommended it on TikTok, and I am literally GAGGED. This is what I imagine when they say "psychological thriller." The way they frame Ba Reum's character as likeable, they get you to fall deeply in love with the character, then completely crush the character's entire being to create another version of him that is morally questionable but still socially "acceptable," then reveal what he is really like is sooo genius. Every character has so much depth and connection to each other, and it builds a level of complexity that completely destroys the idea of strictly good or bad. It is very well done to the point that you find it difficult to completely hate any characters. This is such an interesting approach to psychological thrillers, and I would recommend it to everybody that is into this genre or open to it. Ko Mu Chi I LOVE YOU!9/10 watch.
2.0 rewatch value because my mental is not strong enough to watch it more than once.

Could've been better, but it also could've been worse.
Saw this on netflix and decided to give it a chance, wasn't life changing. I love a good revenge K drama but something about this one did not hit the spot. The male lead was not my favorite in the beginning, I felt that his acting was a bit flat, but his character really grew on me. I felt deeply for him in the last few episodes especially since he wasn't directly involved in the initial incident, he just ignorantly benefited from it. By the end of the show I hoped that Ra el clued him in so they work together to get that revenge. She had already fallen deeply in love with him and so was he. So ra is one of my favorite characters in the show. She was unintentionally funny and her acting was spot on. Loved every time she was on the screen. MVP of the show, all the way to the end. Ra el's character was definitely a hit or miss for me. Some parts were perfect and others were a miss entirely. The lawyer was the same. I was sort of disturbed by his sudden deep love for Ra el, the same little girl he helped escape a traumatic situation, after seeing her once or twice. The framing of it was a bit icky for me. However, I love how well he respected (In his own way) her love for Yoon gyeom until the very end. I hated the fact that he followed her to her safe space (Buenos Aires) at the end of the show. The sex scenes were not pleasant to watch and the show could've done without them, or worked closely with the actors to make it less unpleasant. The show could've been better, but it also could've been worse.Was this review helpful to you?
Has a lot of potential
The plot/story of the show is really good and intriguing, but a couple of things could be better. I'll start with what was done well.- The special effects for the transformation were pretty good.
- Some of the actors did a really great job acting (Joss, Neo, Um, and Mond stood out).
- Good wardrobe (yes, I care about this.)
- The intimacy seemed very natural.
Improvements
- The second male lead's acting was a bit rough at times. I noticed this a lot in scenes where he had to be sleeping or he had to be cutesy. It simply did not work.
- The special effects for the fight scenes and speed movements were horrible. For a vampire/supernatural show , this is basically the most important aspect outside of the acting. The horrible SFX took away a lot of the enjoyment from the show.
The show has a lot of potential, but it was not all the way there.
