I was left with more questions than answers

Story: At first, I thought the story was okay, so I kept watching, thinking maybe everything would come together in the end. At least that’s what I thought. The story was confusing, and it made no sense to me. I am not sure if it had potential, but the execution was bad, so we will never know.

The whole execution felt so weird to me. We never found out anything about Yun O’s past or what motivated him to start killing people. Also, his mother is mentioned, and Gi Eun wanted to find out more about her, but then she forgot about it and went back to pursuing him, even though her life had been in danger twice already and she barely made it out alive. Yun O even broke into her house.

Kim Sum has been taken advantage of by Samantha for so many years now, as it is obvious that Samantha only cares about money and success. It feels like she sees people as South Korean Won symbols. She even threatened Yun O that she would expose him to Kim Sum if he didn’t stop communicating with Kim Sum because Kim Sum is her income source. It’s not like she has her best interest at heart.

Moreover, another thing that struck me as odd is that some of the characters, like Samantha, for example, have evidence that Yun O is up to no good, so instead of calling the police, she just lets him be and continues killing people.

In the end, we see Kim Sum killing Yun O. What happened to his body afterward? Did the police find him?

I was left with more questions than answers, to be honest. My list of examples is long, but I think I should stop here as I am sure that how I feel about this drama is obvious.

Casting: The acting was tolerable, maybe apart from Kang Hae Lim (Kim Sum), who had to play an autistic person. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to autism, so I will exclude her. Besides, it wasn’t her acting that bothered me the most.

Kim Young Kwang’s acting was mediocre, to say the least. What’s up with those smiles all the time? Those dramatic pauses? If you give people cringey smiles, they will think you’re dangerous?

He had the opportunity to show us his true colors when he got upset and broke Somebody in Kim Sum’s garage. I expected some kind of emotion, but no.

OST: The OST was okay. It seemed like it was mostly used to give the scenes a dramatic tone.

Overall: I feel like I wasted my time.
