The series starts with strong story building and introduces a side couple that eventually receives significant screen time. The antagonist and their mysterious past with the main character create intrigue, and most of the characters are interesting. However, the story sometimes relies too heavily on clichés and portrays the antagonists as almost excessively evil. Many emotional reactions and decisions feel overly impulsive and unrealistic.

The episode before the finale is actually one of the stronger episodes. Unfortunately, the final episode becomes particularly problematic, relying on several clichés while leaving multiple questions unanswered.
