Great Mystery, But Something is Missing.
Yes, it has a good storyline. A good mixture between thriller, mystery, romance, and comedy. The comedy amount is quite small, but everything is on point. The way they picture In Seong's mind so wild and unrealistic is really hilarious and fresh. Now, let's talk about the main course: the mystery. The idea itself is quite fresh and appealing. A CEO who became unconscious while his body trapped inside the phone, using was using another person to save his life. Earlier build up phase was fun. However as the story progressing, I couldn't find any sparks and it became dull. It's missing something punching on the point, especially because the clues keep dropping in the lap.
While everyone was suspicious after In Seong sudden appointment as CEO, no one really suspicious when he was digging for the truth, at least until he striked it to their face all by himself. Mi Ran, on the other hand, got a sudden power of controlling the media, only to be controlled out again later on. It was shocking too that the all-knowing-trapped Kim Seon Ju didn't even anticipate this. Things like this made their actions seem reckless, and the results of it were all just pure luck.
It was weird that Seon Ju put suspicion on Se Yeon, but never on his house butlers. They never put any safety measures on their own families, despite knowing the potential threat. Se Yeon mother stayed in a VIP room. It was very obvious she wouldn't be able to afford such room, but no one put any suspicion. The backstory of Jang Ju Seong was very shallow. We only know he was unfairly treated as an athlete, but it ended there.
Chae Jong Hyeop did excellently here. He almost carried out the whole show. Lee Sang Hee looked like a total psycho. Also the soundtracks were amazing.
Does this show deserve better recognition? Yes. Does this show considered a hidden gem? I wouldn't say so. It still missing something to make you want to binge-wathing it.
