Better than I expected it to be
I really had no expectations for this drama, and it turned out to be pretty good.
The origin story on how the app was made was probably my favourite part and the highlight of the drama. The whole cast did amazing, but I want to applaud the actresses who played Kwon Siwon & Do Hyeryung, they did a phenomenal job and have a bright future. I actually started this drama mainly because of Kang Mina (Nari), so I was a bit disappointed with how her storyline wrapped up. It didn’t feel fully explained or resolved, which sucks because her character had a lot of emotional weight.
Another thing I couldn’t fully get behind was the love triangle. Like, I understand why Geonwoo likes Seah that one felt natural and built up, but Hajoon being in love with her? That kinda came out of left field. They didn’t really explore his feelings enough for it to feel believable, so it just ended up raising more questions than adding depth.
This drama would've benefited heavily if it had more episodes though. Like imagine a more in-depth story, could've been a top 5 drama for me this year but that's not the case. That said, despite all my confusion and unanswered questions, I still recommend this, especially if you like horror. The acting was solid, the pacing made it super bingeable, and it definitely kept me hooked. And that post credits scene?? Yeah, they’re clearly setting something up, so I really hope we get a season 2 to fill in all these gaps.
