Mademoiselle Noir

This was one of the rare cases for me where a later twist not only worked but revived a drama. 

I had enjoyed it for the most part (particularly the leads' fire chemistry), but the cases and villains were too typical and, frankly, predictable. With constant and blatant police corruption that felt cartoonishly evil and the plot only going in circles, the relationship between Tul and Ran was just managing to get me through, things felt stagnant and frustrating.

And then, the twist happened. And everything turned around. Suddenly, the extent and weight of the coverup crashed down, and the past, emotions, and relationships had to be recontextualized and reevaluated. It was devastating and riveting.

I have to commend Engfa for being able to portray such a complex range of feelings on the part of her character, Tul. I felt her grief and admired her commitment to seeing things through, even when she just wanted to live in denial.

From being excited to disappointed to being invested more than ever before, Petrichor did what I thought to be impossible.

I'd recommend avoiding spoilers and going in with moderate expectations.
