A suspense drama that isn’t suspenseful.
I feel like this show might be properly made, but it can't catch my attention. The pace is too slow for me. There isn’t a single moment in the story of ep 1 that makes me pause to think, feel startled, get curious or really crave any kind of revelation. It’s not suspenseful at all, even though it’s supposed to be a suspense drama.
What actually made me pause to think instead was the FL’s appearance. The last work of hers I watched was from 2018. Eight years later, her face has noticeably changed, but not in a natural, mature way. It feels a bit strange to me. It’s kind of a pity that her face became the main thing that kept me watching through ep 1, just trying to figure out which part of it gives off that strange vibe. And it also makes me wonder if that’s why she chose to act in this role by not moving her facial muscles much.
By the way, I just finished watching "Beyond Evil" and that is a suspense drama done really well. It kept me constantly craving the truth, the revelations, the answers. So the details for comparison are still very fresh for me and it really puts this show at a big disadvantage.
