a powerhouse duo in the thriller of the year
the writing thrives on unpredictability. what starts as a standard murder mystery quickly evolves into a complex web of deception. the "twist after twist" structure isn't just for shock value; it forces the audience to constantly re-evaluate every character's motives. if you enjoy stories that keep you guessing until the final frame, this is a must-watch.
the heart of the drama lies in the unexpected alliance between the leads:
doyeon (an yunsu), provides a grounded perspective that anchors the show's chaos.
goeun (mo-eun), delivers a standout performance. she subverts the "psycho killer" trope by revealing a deeply layered, tragic backstory that shifts the audience's perspective from fear to empathy.
their chemistry and eventual teamwork to catch the true killer provide the emotional satisfaction needed to balance the dark themes.
beyond the thrills, the drama explores the heavy toll of grief. the subplot involving yunsu—and her struggle to survive and find justice after the death of her husband—adds a layer of "human" pain to the high-stakes mystery. it reminds the viewer that behind every "twist," there are lives being ruined.
