What an amazing production.

Writing which gives you the idea that you have figured it all out, and then pulls the rug from under you. Multiple times. And then again for good measure.

The production values are amazing. The dreary atmosphere that is being set really works with the story that is being given. And the scenes look beautiful. I almost thought this was a horror series from some of the scenes in the first episode.

Acting is superb. None of that over the top acting in this one, this one plays it deeply serious from start to end. And everybody does an amazing job. Really good casting here.

I can understand the criticims that some scenes take long yeah, but they do look amazing and some of them also give the impact they are trying to generate because of taking that extra pause.

I can easily overlook that though, because I really enjoyed this production. Very much recommended if you like a dark mystery.

I started watching this drama because I heard that my favorite actor, Han Suk-kyu, was appearing on MBC, where the original drama was aired, for the first time in 30 years.

I think Han Suk-kyu is one of the best actors in Korea in terms of acting skills, and the directing, story, and acting skills of the other actors who appeared with him are the best among the dramas I've seen this year.

The tension and directing in each episode are outstanding, and it makes you wait for the next episode every time.

I recommend that you don't approach it too quickly, but savor each scene and enjoy it.

The best Korean drama of the year is currently airing on MBC on Saturdays and Sundays, and can be seen worldwide on Netflix, so I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes.

Doubt... doubt... and more doubt. These doubts only lead to bigger problems.

Why can't people just ask directly instead of merely doubting? So many issues wouldn't arise if we simply asked and listened for answers. This TV show brilliantly captures the role of doubt in the world we live in.

Every episode is a masterfully crafted thriller. The scenes with the father and daughter are so intense that they leave the viewer breathless.

I've watched a lot of TV shows this year but I believe this one is the best of 2024. Sometimes, after watching shows, I found out I got something very helpful and valuable for my life. This is one of them.

As of this review, 5 episodes have been released in this 10-epdisode drama. So far, it seems we have a winner. There's much to talk about, but I want to start by saying stylish the show was shot and edited. The dark tone throughout the show and background music adds to the suspense. This psycho drama about a veteran profiler trying to solve a potential serial murder case with his own daughter involved somehow in at least one of the deaths takes you on quite a ride.

This show is not for casual viewing, as you will need to pay attention to keep up with quite a few key characters introduced in the first few episodes. As I've mentioned, the first half of this show has been incredibly good. I certainly hope the second part can deliver what it promises.

The storyline is captivating and the acting is top notch. You'll find yourself immersed in this story from the get go and will find yourself trying to investigate and solve the case along with the characters.

Since the show has more episodes to be delivered and you never know if the show is going to go off a cliff somehow, so I'll reserve further comment. However, so far so good, in fact, very good.

Having watched the entire show in one day, I can confidently say the series is worth it. It's not a 10 because the pacing in some episodes is a bit slow.

The cinematography is a standout feature of this show. It avoids the usual K-drama shots and instead delivers cinematography that fits perfectly with the tone and theme of the series.

The OST is another strong point, driving the tension in the scenes, especially the darker ones (like the scene in the hut-you know the one).

The actors do an excellent job throughout, especially the daughter. Truly outstanding work.

In summary, this show isn't for the average TikTok user or typical K-drama fan, unless that viewer primarily watches K-thrillers. It's a great, concise series with a fulfilling ending to the whole story. If I had to compare it to a more mainstream K-drama, it's like a dark, reversed-role Flower of Evil, as the daughter and the main protagonist of Flower of Evil share a lot in common.

Great show-definitely worth the watch.
