Very impressive, a little long
Now, I watched this a long time ago. A very long time ago. I still remember it clearly, I was in a terrible mood, decided to watch this on a whim because Netflix recommended it to me. But I remember it very clearly. I do, the kind of impact it left for me to remember the entire plot after so long.. some plots really do get better the more you let them sit, don't they?
This was genuinely very impressive, even when I watched it for the first time. It was thrilling, had the right amount of mystery without it feeling like they were trying too hard or making the audience extremely confused, and I was genuinely impressed.
The story follows eight former friends who were all part of the mountain climbing club when they were in school. They drift apart after a scandal and the events of the series take place when they are all invited to a mountain cabin by one of the members. They arrive, stuff goes down and big by bit, we discover that there was much more to their friendship than we or even they thought. You know, the classic slow reveals.
And they do them right. Not one of the reveals felt like they were out of left field, or just some random plot thrown in to create conflict, they were all extremely relevant to the plot and how it flowed. It was a scary at times, very mysterious and it keeps you invested.
I will admit, I don't remember much about the characters, but I do remember that I loved Jake Hsu's character, I remember rooting heavily for him and I think that may be because he had very little to do with the mess? He's an important character definitely, but I always find myself rooting for the characters who are unwillingly trapped in someone else's mess, because come on! It's not their mess!
The only thing that could have been better was the pace, sometimes it just dragged on for so long, I had to take frequent pauses because it did get a bit boring at times.
I will recommend this though, it is a solid murder mystery, and it's got so much else going on as well, and I hope this review convinced you to give it a try!
