Leaves you wanting more
Overall, I enjoyed this miniseries. Really loved the black comedy vibes.
That being said, a lot of background and foundational info was missing from the story that I would have liked and that ending sent me! Rarely do I say a show needs more episodes but this is the 2nd one I've watched this year that maybe needed 10 eps. Hopefully, there is a 2nd season.
I thought it was an interesting take on the child solider being trained assassins trope. And I understood Yeong Su's motivations and how she wanted a "normal family". It's a terrible thing to grow up they way they did. Then we find that out at the end and I was like OMFG!!! WHAT!! She did that to Cheol Hui....GOODNESS!! I liked the twins as well and that Ji Woo developed as a character. She understood why they had to sacrifice so much.
The best thing though, for me, was that all those horrible people got some of the best punishments being doled out in a series that I have ever seen.
I have never see Bae Doo Na in anything else but she was so good in this that I will seek her other work out.
