Right to the point! Best Drama story adaptation so far this year!

Best CDrama of the year so far in The first 4 eps were so good - right to the point without wasting time!
My assumption: One of the twins were killed - OR - the main daughter was replaced by a fake one.
Either way we have one evil and one cunning FLs. They look like twins but we won't know until the story unfolds.

So far chemistry between leads are good, mystery is riveting, and more importantly, no wasting time. With so many female characters, I was afraid that this will happen - ie - bickering and fighting among females.
Ratio of females to males: 5:1 ( so many females as they survive because they didn't need to die in battles).

I was expecting the pace of the first 4 eps to continue but CDrama tends to have the issue with a strong storyline. 7-8 seems to drift into idol drama territory.

Also, the male lead is not a good actor. So a lot of time FL carries the show.

Also, the writer is lazy. Suspense is created using flashback to show what the audience didn't see.
This is the worse type of suspense!

Writing inconsistency:
Key Facts About Fraternal Twins

• Genetics: They share about 50% of their DNA, making them genetically similar to regular siblings born at different times rather than exact copies

Brother and Sister are fraternal twins! It's hard to believe that their children look EXACTLY the same, especially, different partners!

Verdict: 8-8.5 for being an entertaining idol story.
