Strong introduction to a murder mystery with a quirky and offbeat tone. It is full of symbolism which instantly makes for a fun watch. Every time the camera rests on something, it either symbolises something or is a clue which means viewers have to stay locked in.

Along with the strange world of Nine Puzzles, all the characters, main and secondary, are equally eccentric, suggesting that this is not going to be a straightforward thriller.

The genius of the series is that it doesn't just question who the killer is - it questions what a killer looks like. Guilt drips from every character. The show scatters doubt like breadcrumbs, leading viewers into a forest where no one.

A very entertaining story told over 11 episodes, one that keeps you guessing as its intricacies are slowly unraveled. Kim Da-mi's characterization of the police profiler who was traumatized in her childhood is a real highlight, and I loved her mannerisms which varied between childlike and insightful. It's fiction but I also liked how it referenced the extensive growth of Seoul in the 1980's, one that resulted in many improvements but which sometimes was a little ruthless, coming at the expense of existing communities. That gives an already great story extra weight, and that more than one set of demons are being exorcised.

Watching first episode I instantly engaged. The portrayal of characters is great, how Yoon Ena seem childish yet smart, Curry man is soft hearted yet trying so hard to be nonchalant.

Now that it's end I can say that it's not that surprising but still make sense in all way. They even make me feel bad for the killer, I also wish they could live their life for themselves for once but no. I understand the killer, and I tolerate it. They did a good job on that, but tbh the fire scene could be more realistic, and they also could make it sadder I believe. The story itself is sad, so why don't make the most out of it?

Considering all the TV Korean shows and movies I've watched giving a review will be kind of odd considering this is not a super amazing show, but it's still pretty good with A-list actors coming throughout the episodes and the show does get better. But the one thing that sticks out because the co protagonist has her nails painted the timeline doesn't match up... they must've shot certain scenes on certain weeks with different fingernail color and it's stuck out to me considering the show for the most part is shot chronologically in order.... If this was Christopher Nolan, maybe you would've not been noticed... overall decent show.
