very “sticky” movie. The visuals, story and uncomfortable feeling remains with me

Agree. Jeon jong seo steal the limelight here. So amazed with her acting. I like park shin hye but not her character in this story. How the conflict unfolds is out of the "negligence" of the main character. Looks like the writer has given more focus evolving the character of the villain than main lead. Unfortunately for me, because i got so disappointed with how the main lead responded during the first few minutes, the supposedly "fear" and "intensity" which the viewer should feel was replaced with disappointment and annnoyance. If not for the acting of Jeon jong seo, i would not have finished this.

I love a lot of things in this drama but I stopped watching this for now because i wasnt able to develop an emotional connection with the story. I got confused on what central emotion / message do they want to imprint to their viewers. I feel like its a heavy melodrama when the scene is between Gang Tae & Sang Tae. Then there's the "The Haunting of Hill House" feeling when the back story of Ko Mun-Yeong is presented. Then the usual kdrama romcom "bliss" when the scene is between Gang Tae & Sang Tae. It's like a recipe with a lot of my favorite flavors that's not mixing up together so i can have the final taste i am looking for.
