The drama started ok but as you watch each episode, the story felt drawn out unnecessarily. The storytelling was all over the place going back and forth each episode. No suspense whatsoever. Essentially this story could have been told in 4 episodes and didn't need 14, the 10 extra episodes felt empty and redundant, unnecessary things thrown in for filler. It's also full of the typical kdrama over the top melodrama I'm starting to get annoyed with in kdramas. The poor storytelling takes the mystery and thrills out of this drama unfortunately. After 10 episodes I couldn't bare to continue finishing.

I find it's unfair for such good drama to be under the radar so much just because the kdrama fans aren't talking about this enough. The criticism about no originality in plot is ridiculous with so many kdrama out in a year, it's bound to have similarities and kdrama fans can catch up quick about who's who and feels like every characters are suspicious. Why singling out this drama.. To me I kept on watching because I want to know WHY the things happened the way it is, what went wrong in their relationship for it to be like that.

The statement that 'actor Byun Yohan acting saved this drama' is not a drag because any good drama/movie aren't made of just good scripts but most importantly good director and actors. I can name many drama with good acting scenes but still can't save the work because the scripts are bad.

Also seen criticism about him being student and adult instead of casting a younger actor, but to me it's not bothering me much since there are more mature looking teenager in real life. Although the twist are expected to me, but the overall story are thrilling and won't leave the viewers bore.

I only occasionally watch kdrama series because I know it can be extremely unrealistic & overly dramatic. But I just went ahead to give it a chance by watching the first episode....

The whole cast got me hooked. The screenplay, editing & camera work was intricate & excellent. It was like watching an art piece in motion. Sometimes the story gets ridiculous & insane but what kept me watching are the excellent acting from the whole cast! Costuming & setting is so well done as well. Impressive. The art style remains solid & consistent.

For making me watch till the last episode, I say CONGRATS.

Just one complain. Why do kdramas tend to use the same actors for the mom & dad roles?! It kept me from emotionally investing in the characters cos I've seen them before a bit too many times! Haha!

This series was a lot more interesting at the beginning when you are left wondering who killed the 2 girls.

Once they slowly give answers, between numerous scenes of the main character looking really really sad, that is when they started to lose me.

Not only because the series was dragging it out. Also because apparantly to stop people from guessing who the real murderer is, they thought up one of the more convulated and unrealistic explanations I have seen. It made no sense whatsoever.

I almost gave this series a 6. But they did keep me interested enough to keep watching, although I was seriously wishing for it to end by episode 9 or 10.

Acting wise and the production values are also ok. My main gripe is with the resolution of the story and the very slow pace. So a low 7.

A masterclass in suspense, centered around a gripping murder case that reinterprets events to reveal the ugly truth of human nature. Byun Yo-han delivers an electrifying performance, bringing his character to life with such intensity and nuance that you're never sure what to believe. His seamless shifts between emotions add layers of complexity, keeping you constantly guessing with each twist.

Go Jun is equally impressive as the determined detective, perfectly embodying the relentless pursuit of truth while grappling with his own struggles. The dynamic between Byun Yo-han and Go Jun crackles with tension, elevating the drama into something truly extraordinary. With a powerful script, top-tier performances, and genuinely surprising twists, this thriller not only captivates but also delves deep into the darker aspects of human nature.
