An absolutely gut-wrenching watch that touches on the brutality of sexual assault — not just in the moment, but also all the long-term destruction that comes afterwards.

The premise is just really interesting; there's a lot to unpack regarding the "alternate reality" that the female lead wakes up in and how it parallels her mental state. Very smart writing.

I also really appreciate how this drama takes its time to gradually reveal what actually happened; it becomes pretty obvious what happened early on but being forced to inch towards discovery with the female lead really highlights how harrowing it is to face trauma. The main female lead gives a great performance through these stages.
