This drama also falls into the category of dramas with wasted potential.
If I were to describe the drama in one word, it would undoubtedly be mystery. The plot revolves around enigmatic incidents, which kept me intrigued enough to watch until the end. However, the reliance on complicated statistical data—comprehensible only to ML—left me feeling disengaged and, frankly, bored.
For a 10-episode drama, the pacing was frustratingly sluggish. The story dwelled excessively on past events, while the present storyline offered little beyond ML's constant stalking of FL. There was no meaningful development of feelings between the main leads. The romance felt hollow and unconvincing. To me, FL's confession of love seemed forced, done only to ensure ML's survival. When did she even fall for him? Only she knows, as her understanding of him came at the very end. Their connection was so shallow they barely knew each other, let alone could speak of love.
The secondary couple's relationship was equally baffling. They were given a mere two episodes, and those were dominated by the main leads' drama. Their bond appeared to form out of convenience rather than genuine emotion. I can't even classify it as love—there were no signs or moments to suggest it. It seemed like filler to use up screen time.
As for the "witch" element, it was severely underexplained. Was it a curse, a metaphor, or something else entirely? The drama never clarified. What could have been a fascinating thread was reduced to a backdrop for ML's obsession with FL and his obscure statistical data.
