When the frog gets pissed!

A slow burn mystery in the first half and a thrilling train wreck in the second half.

✅Brilliant direction BUT it's mandatory to not know anything about the plot to fully appreciate this type of storytelling and for the twist to work. (Obvioulsy MDL's synopsis is not helping in this regard. (DON'T READ THE SYNOPSIS and TAGS)
✅The overall vibe: anxiety, suspense, thrilling;
✅Acting: the cat/mouse game between Kim Yoon Seok and Go Min Si is totally nuts. She is in full psycho killer mode on.
✅Cinematography
✅OST

❌The plot works only cause characters, mainly the ML, act alone. If in the first part he has a reason to do so, reason that is also the big moral of the whole show, in the second part the script requires a "guilty pleasure" mind to not call out all the shitty moves he makes.

Overall my initial "what the hell am watching" vibe turned into a great thrilling ride. I had a lot of fun watching this.
