great story but poor execution
I was initially very excited for this drama because the first four episodes were "on fire." I loved the way the mystery unfolded, with each episode dropping a new twist about who the lead character really is. It was highly engaging at first, but unfortunately, the momentum didn't last.
After that strong start, the story felt flat and boring. While the premise itself is great, the execution wasn't very well-handled, which is a real shame. I also struggled to connect with the characters; despite the high stakes, I didn't find myself truly caring about what happened to them as the episodes went on.
The acting was easily the best part of the drama. Shin Hae-sun delivered a brilliant performance as always—she really is the "Diction Fairy" and manages to make even a weak script watchable. Her ability to play multiple identities was fascinating to see.
Final Verdict: At only 8 short episodes, it’s an easy binge-watch, but it’s not exactly a "must-watch." If you skip it, you won't miss much. It had the potential to be a masterpiece, but it ended up being just an average watch that was carried entirely by Hae-sun's talent.
