I'd easily rate this series a 7/10. The premise is solid, the screenplay is decent, and the acting is okay, although some scenes felt unnatural. What I really liked was the story flow. Unlike many Korean dramas that drag on with episodes that have a meandering plot and where the story doesn't progress at all, this show keeps moving without wasting time. That's the main positive point for me.
Now for the negatives:
1. The main character's decisions are unrealistic. The MC knows she's a prime target for bullying but keeps making obviously poor choices just to push the plot towards more bullying. The MC is supposed to be smart and critical character right? Yet they make MC keep making dumb decisions that make her an easy target.
2. Please, Korea, stop romanticizing unrealistic, awkward scenes. Episode 6 was super annoying when the MC jumps from a high floor, and a guy comes out of nowhere to catch her, then, they land face-to-face, staring into each other's eyes. Come on 🤣 we know this never happens in real life. It's 2024, but Korea is still stuck with 80s-style heroic scenes.
3. The last and most annoying point: it feels like this show ran out of budget midway 😂. In episodes 9-10, SMALL mysteries start getting resolved with one plot twist after another, which is interesting. But then the show just ends just like that. JUST LIKE THAT. You don't need a sequel to resolve the remaining mysteries; you just need 1-2 more episodes and the show would wrap up smoothly. That's it. Watching the whole series felt like a waste of time. The plot moves fast without wasting time, yep, but watching the entire series feels like a waste. After all the episodes, you get no resolution to the main mystery. So, don't waste your time watching this show.
