Stellar Performances & Dynamic Storytelling

This was truly a wonderful watch for me. The performances were consistently strong. Both the leads and the supporting cast delivered a full range of difficult emotions and scenes, making it hard to distinguish between major and minor roles. And I found the entire narrative and the performances incredibly dynamic, with a variety of filming techniques that elevated how the story translated onscreen. That’s largely what made this drama work so well.

Notably, its gripping storytelling kept me on the edge of my seat and fully immersed. The color palette was equally compelling, shaping the overall experience and how deeply I connected to the scenes. And the cinematography complemented the narrative, with a stepwise progression to the truth that follows a non-linear structure, moving back and forth in time in a way that kept the story from ever feeling sluggish.n

Overall, I found this drama haunting and frustrating in the best way, stirring a wide range of emotions as I watched. I often found myself sympathizing with characters who were, at different times, both villains and victims. By the end, it felt like I had experienced an epic journey, despite the drama being only 18 episodes long.
