My Review:

So, What do I Like About this K-Drama?

I watched this K-Drama with not much expectations except it had a good review on one of my trusted review sites. It also has only 4 episodes that it doesn’t take too much of my time if it is not that good. However, alas! I am totally surprised by how well made the show is and it doesn’t have a boring moment.

(1) The story is fast paced and it didn’t have much wasted scenes including the showing of the flashbacks to explain and lay the ground for the back end of the story.

(2) The special effects especially at the very start of the scene of the episode 1 was quite impressive. It already shows you immediately the plot and crux of the story. No wasted time and definitely no boring moments.

(3) The actors and the entire staff of this K-Drama especially the director has done well in making this K-Drama tightly done and really good to watch.

(4) I like the manner where the mystery is unfold little by little and there are quite a few surprises which is good for a suspense genre.

What I do Not Like About this K-Drama?

There’s really nothing I do not like on this K-Drama. It was well done and executed. Fun to watch too. Although, I do have a slight issue on the ending. I would rather it had tragic ending than the alternative ending (don’t want to spoil things for you) because it would have been more believable and provided much greater impact in the finale.

Would I recommend this K-Drama? Yes
