Went in blind very good watch great suspense
This was a good watch i will say that i went in blind for this show as in the only thing i knew was the language of the show and that it had something to do with the husband. I saw the front page and watched it from that alone no research whatsoever. That and that it said thrilling watch on my Disney.
Plot:
What initially drew me in the story at the start was that it appears to be a story about a troubled marriage and hiow they would deal with it as they went along. I was very quickly blindsided and quickly develops into a tense and unpredictable thriller, and the show does an excellent job of keeping you questioning what is really happening at most points, and when you finally thought you got it it changed. I had initially thought that he had just regretted getting her kidnapped but suddenly hidden spy cams are found. It blew my mind honestly. It might have blown me because its been a while since i last watched a thriller but it was such a good reveal. Also, the whole wife being kidnapped for ransom and you figure out that there might be something more hidden underneath, first the husband and then later the father to the culprit
The suspense:
For me, the show was very suspenseful it kept me going and guessing as i mentioned so the suspense is another major highlight. The drama constantly gives you pieces of information without revealing the whole picture too quickly. I feel like some dramas does that sometimes. It really makes it difficult to predict where the story is going at points. Just when you think you've figured something out, another detail changes the way you see the situation. That sense of uncertainty makes the episodes very easy to binge. If you are a type of watcher to binge shows rather than watch as they air. I binged the show when i found it.
The action scenes:
The action deserves credit as well. It feels relatively grounded and desperate rather than overly glamorous. The shows action scenes are well choreographed to the point where it feels real and that this could actually be how that situation would play out. You can feel that the characters also have their quirks like how SeYuns life of rock climbing does that her character knows how to get around a rope and can climb to places, is strong mentally etc . The characters aren't invincible, and the danger actually feels dangerous. That makes the more intense moments much more effective.
The acting:
One cant make a review without also mentioning the acting. It really does have its strengths here. Min Namkoong's performance is immaculate . He brings a lot of depth to his character his micro expressions are on point and the way that he embodies his character is just great, particularly i'd say that as the situation around him becomes increasingly desperate, his acting becomes better and better. He plays a man who is forced FAR outside his comfort zone. Watching him gradually become more desperate, determined, and actually just very emotionally unstable makes the character feel much more human and believable for a man in that state.
Overall, id say that the show is a good watch for a thriller. The acting is good, the story keeps moving, the twists are fun, and it gets more interesting as it goes.
