This drama is Structurally cohesive and Have intriguing plot. Also Beautiful cinematography. So What's lacking? Acting of the lead couple. They lack passion and subtlity what makes drama like this enjoyable. Their scene at times doesn't add up to the story because their lack of subtlety. So at times, we end up rely on visual story telling, dialogue and their adequate acting to follow the story the main character without much our feeling involve. So everything they do feel insincere. It's just doesn't work for me.

It's also can't help with how the story is more The emphasis how and who is the murder, instead of dig deeper and add more complexity of the main lead character motivation make this drama is a bit lackluster for me.

Better luck next time!

the writing is uneven, like seems doesn't know which is the priority, but the some outstanding actor performances and chemistry of the cast make up for it. Bless the casting director for choosing Kim Go Eun as Hong Seol and Seo Kang Joon as Baek In Ho, even if they interpreted it differently compare to webtoon, but I think it's intentional from the writers and team production. They are rocking their roles and their chemistry are some of the best I've seen from young actor. . There is an effort behind the camera to make the scene come alive.. Certain scene make me relate so much. It's unsatisfying narrative. The writers waste so much with unnecesary scene. The pace is uneven, at times, is too fast, and at times, there is alot of filler in one episode and doesn't touch the real issue.. It's not even the amount of time In Ho got screen time is the problem.

But All in all, there is passion in team production, that make up for all the flaws. heck the writing.

It's brilliant and a well made drama... I didn't think I would shed much tears for a drama, But I did, Especially when climax hit the fan, it's so satisfying to watch each scene can be so memorable. It gives me another perspective being a mother, and take various point of view from children perspective about their feeling and their right, which often we take it for grant.


The most important think is This drama doesn't suddenly losing track from their original intent from start to the last frame . Which is hard for kdrama, with all the pressure to come all the way from the board (and PPL), the reason there are still live shooting system, in order to increase rating. Each scene and music is perfectly blend with the emotion, which make the drama feel passionate and alive. More over, thanks to The actor who give the character justice and set each line from the writers on fire, which make it all rewarding.

This kind of drama gave me all hope to Kdrama once again, once in a while, in industry where everything produced by people who only produce a drama to work and making money. in a deem light, there is always bunch of people who will produce a drama with their soul and give their all to produce a memorable drama from the cast to the crew.... Being nominated in Cannes Festival ? Well deserved. Thank you all....

I'm so late in the game. Sorry, I know I should write a review when I'm done watching, But this drama is worth to get high rating even for just for the six episode I've watched. What make this drama is feels refreshing experience for me compare to any other show with similar premise. Heck, (I even rate this drama better than signal) for the fact this drama is meliticulously detail. I'm in awe of how structurally sound it's . What make it interesting each case is kind of related and can't be identified by face value. , the process of uncovering the truth is brutally realistic compare  to any regular korean drama procedural I've seen, that's why it take really long to get to the point. THe protagonist is a genius, IMO, but it doesn't give you the lisence to easily can judge human demeanor to commit a crime that easily, even with all clues pointing out to certain person, your judgement can be misleading. It's also interesting there is a possible alternative you also can become one of the culprit with all the evidence pointing out at you, can yourself also can be trust? Who is your friend? who is your enemy? Who is lying and who is telling the truth?   This kind of issue keep me glued to the screen. It's also allow us the viewers know more about our suspect and witness by digging them deeper.  The show is treat us as watchers  an intellegent viewers so they let us judge if what they are showing is what we get. And It's a plus in my book.
