Watch only to see Ms. Shin Hae Sun
This slow-burn drama relies entirely on the lead actress, Shin. She is the only reason to watch. Her screen presence is delicate and captivating. She looks frail and vulnerable. It is interesting to watch her try to manipulate people.
However, there is a major problem with the writing. We never feel connected to any of the characters. They feel hollow and cold. This disconnect makes it hard to care about what happens to them. The show is obsessed with luxury products. The characters talk about high-end brands all the time. This is very unrealistic. Even in intense moments, they only focus on expensive things. This constant talk about wealth makes the dialogue feel shallow and fake.
The plot has many holes. Shin is supposed to be a mastermind. However, it is hard to believe she can do everything alone. She befriends two men but deceives them at the same time. The logic of her plan is weak. The pacing is also a big drawback. The story moves much too slowly. Many episodes feel stretched and repetitive. What should be a psychological thriller often feels dull and flat.
The investigation track is sloppy. It lacks tension and depth. The show loses its charm as it goes on. The atmosphere is monotonous. While the cinematography is nice, the story is underwhelming. It aims to be a powerful drama but fails to deliver any real excitement.
