This show starts out so strong. I was in love for the first 16 (half-hour)episodes. It came across as a thriller, and was genuinely spooky, with great plot. The atmosphere was really good, and the plot was actually a little unpredictable, but well written. But the second half....
Do Not watch this for the romance. There is no chemistry, and I had no idea why the ML liked the FL because her character was so bland. She is quite boring as a character, and when in the second half, they start putting emphasis on the romance, this is when it starts to go downhill, because there is no reason for them to have this strong feelings for each other, and it's just not believable. You're telling me they'll die for each other after ten days? Crazy
Also from the start of the second half, the same plot points keep coming up and no progress is made by the main characters. They keep doing the same thing and getting thwarted in the same way by the villain in the second half. HOWEVER, I have to commend ML's acting as there was a particularly poignant part where he is alone crying that broke my heart. Superb writing or directing there as well as the acting.
One problem is the way they cut this show. Whoever edited this show is wild. In the aforementioned crying scene, you can tell they cut parts out and edited it a lot, which is fine as long as it isn't obvious to the viewers and still looks good, but it did affect the best scene in the show imo.
There are other problems like that, particularly the cyclic plot. I started getting déjà vu every episode. There is also a very obvious plot twist at the end that is treated like it is mind-blowing with all the flashbacks we're given. There are TOO MANY flashbacks in this show, another problem from the editors.
Just to end my comment/review, I have to compliment the main villain. She is very cool and well acted in my opinion. Especially in the first half, she was chilling to watch on screen. I'll watch future projects from her for sure.
Let's appreciate the amazing cinematography! I've been watching kdramas quite some time now and it's the first…
Honestly one of the main things that make this show stand out. The way the camera lingers on their hands almost touching, the framing of the characters when they're staring at one another, it's so well done! And this is partly thanks to directing too. Just a brilliant combination that makes a masterpiece
Just finished 11th episode where we have been having a flashback to the past. Considering dropping because the storyline is so slow . This show has some genuinely hilarious moments that have cracked me up but when it's slow and serious, the script just doesn't seem to work as well. Does it get better from here?
Just finished this. The plot is crazy, so well written and the tension is nail-biting all the way through. The amount of plot twists is wild! I really love the character development too. I feel so bad for the ML, he suffered so much needlessly. All the characters are so interesting.
Someone had a mental health moment in the comments. Don't bother trying to scroll down to see other comments because it will take you an hour and I'm not kidding. Please report the comments. Still sending love to sjk ❤️
