Failed execution
The acting a bit lacking but a good casting, a bit underdeveloped plot.It had potential but it flopped, idk why but the cinematography, the way the scenes were filmed, ended and joined together, felt weird. It lacked something but I don't know what.
It had a lot of potential to be good, perhaps its a me problem but truly felt it was recorded weird.
A good lighthearted drama (emotionally intense scenes didn't make me feel anything) .

Boring but good
The first episode got me intrigued, making me complete the entire thing AND there are spoilers so warning.POSTIVES-
I really like fl's character, she's not the average joe like pick me, bubble, clueless or anything like that. She's very emotionally mature and extremely strong (good at fighting) which I love.
I really loved Noh tae-nam's character developed, like boi got me stressed esp about mass shooting thing but highkey dont understand why he gave bolt (dog) away?
I loved how the "main" villain remained a villain? like she had no sob-story and her character never changed, although her emotions were a bit hard to read, like your son almost committed suicide in front of u and u is fine??? a bit weird thats for sure.
NEGATIVES-
The middle got a bit boring so I just skipped some parts.
Like every revenge drama, they gotta make some empty threats and blah but it kinda got really annoying.
It was kinda upsetting that the other 2 co-workers relationship maybe got hinted at but since these was a romance deprived drama, i feel like they should have at least developed their relationship at the most (I'm just a sucker for 2nd lead couple romance).
Kang ha-Joon (the long time friend) I feel like some scenes it hinted at his unrequited love for the ml but that's it? I feel like that part was kinda pointless or should have at least developed more, like in the middle he kinda just gave up (like his feelings didn't influence his actions but that might just be me fighting thin air).
The detective aunt and the head of 4th division office (park jin-woo) I feel like their romance (or lack of) was kinda unnecessary like they had 3 scenes? 1- her asking him out 2- them meeting up for dinner 3- her giving birth (esp the 3rd scene was soo not needed, like I would have preferred their relationship developing instead of them just having a baby like a bit weird in my opinion.
Pyun sang- ho (mass shooter) lowkey satisfying but this might be a sign of me being sadistic but only thing I don't get was why he didnt kill sergeant ma (the bully) like just a bullet to the leg and a few whacks from the gun like, I expected more.
No hwa-youngs (villain) subordinate, I feel like her "redemption arc" didn't make sense? like her just hearing the recording of her boss yapping behind her back was at least expected of her character so I don't get how she felt so "betrayed" since she was the one who knew the most about the villain (boss).
The ending, felt like revenge was too easily achieved like bro just handed them the x-files while they were looking for it for 2 episodes and had no clue where it was at, lowkey sad.
ML & FL relationship- throughout the kdrama, they didn't have any heart fluttering scenes or at least where it was kinda sorta obvious they were falling in love, maybe a few scenes looking at each other a bit yk... so I feel like the ending kiss was completely unnecessary like they could have just ended it my them looking at each other lovingly.
If u have reached the end, congrats u get...nothing.
Overall, I would say perhaps skip it? maybe just for Noh tae-nam like his character was worth it but yah.
p.s my first review <3

Watched it a while back
Do not trust moi source cus i lowkey forgot.One thing i wanna say is the trailer is completely misleading.
It suggests the fl have split-personality disorder whatever, and she is labeled as the "villain" or smh who is gonna eventually have a redemption arc which i dislike.
Also baek hyun woo is painted as a "green flag" when bro flipping jumped up and down when he found out his wife was eventually gonna die and started to act "nice" again to be written in the will, while hae-in thought "oh we had a falling out cus of my miscarriage and I was emotionally unavailable esp due to family pressure so i legit couldn't share my sorrows and true feelings to my husband, and so my defense mechanism was that I pushed everyone away but now my husband wants to try things again after 3 years, and hey! who am i to say no! lets try again!"
After divorce papers get revealed and what not, bro was like hey! lemme act nice! so he was like "yes honey hate me so that u get your surgery and lose your memory" (don't understand the thought process but okay) and then bro gets sent to jail and what not and he was like "i so happy u okay, i love u" yadda yadda
they get together again, the end
SIKE, you thought that didnt you? except there's a 2 minute scene where this oldie white haired grandpa goes to the wife grave with flowers ( COMPLETELY UNNECESSRY SCENE btw)
Honestly i watched it quite a while back so i forgot but i have to say the acting, production, cinematography is so good so i say watch it

Unexpected
The ending is deffo unexpected but so is the whole story itself imo.The trailer made it seem the student writes a story, teacher is intrigued, but student writes scary thriller horror stuff and teacher investigates and turn out its a memoir. BUT in actuality, its quite the opposite.
It also made it seem the writer was psychotic but he was but not really so yk.
I have to say the ml is a brillant actor, the grandpa on the other hand, during the emotionally intense scenes, he seemed a bit lacking but idk im just a girl.
The whole story had me guessing and turns out the writer is like a pathological liar while grandpa is delusional, but I really loved the writer's backstory and his revenge but one thing I HATED was bro did not need to sleep with the wife, it was icky.
The ending ending tho where the guy comes back and was like " yo gotta another story" and grandpa was like "yeah" (smirks)
really highlighted his.. greed?? actually idk what that was supposed to imply.
Also one thing i wanna know is how is the guy in the hospice, so called father where the ml is like "thanks for taking care of me before broiske" that was a bit sus, and i feel like should have been developed more cus like... who was that.
Also did bro's mum really run away? liek he was an orphan so yeah? no? idk...
Overall, seeing how this shit was cramped (not really) into a 6 episode show was really impressive, i really liked it.
Would recommend!
