First of all, I have to say that if you’re reading reviews instead of forming your own opinion before watching the series, you’re already starting off on the wrong foot—you’re letting yourself be influenced.

As a fan of Yoojung, I obviously wasn’t going to miss this series. It had me hooked from the very beginning. Everything is tightly connected, and contrary to what most comments say (I’m guessing they wanted a romance or for Ahjin to continue down a certain path—even though the drama has nothing to do with any of that), every development in the story has its own justification.

In the final episodes, we see an Ahjin who’s running out of options because she believes she has already achieved everything. But that’s not the case. That’s when we once again see the reflection of teenage Ahjin—the one living with her father in the rooftop house, the girl who didn’t know how to navigate her circumstances without using others just to keep going.

The drama is incredibly well made—so much so that it makes you empathize with a sociopath and root for things to work out for her.

That’s the level of performance Kim Yoojung delivers here.

If you haven’t watched it yet, and you decide not to because of other reviews, you’re missing out on what is possibly the drama of the year.
