I need season 2

I loved this drama so so so much! Like
this one got the place in my
favourites from episode 1! From the
beginning till the end the drama
doesn’t disappoint a little. It is so
intruiging and intresting. The one
thing I liked most about the drama is
how it unfolded every element and
character of the story little by little.

Like the pace of the drama was so
perfect! Another thing is that they made
me suspiocious of every little
character! Like literally any character
can be the killer! Everyone has a
motive and the power to kill our victim
and that factor played with my mind so
much. Like first a character is
introduced to us and then after 20 or

30 minutes it is told to us that "oh
he/she can be the killer!" But then
after a while “ no maybe not” is told to
us but then again they become the
suspect like god after watching this
drama I surely got some trust issues
lol. Every new episode changes the
possible suspect lol. Another thing I
liked about this drama is its characters.

Normally dramas are either plot-driven
or character driven, this one was both.
Maybe plot-driven more but the way
they showed every character’s flaws
and problems is something I really
liked. No character was innocent and I
love things like that hihi. I know I’m
weird but whatever.

The acting is again so so good. I
literally felt that all the characters
existed in real life like it was so real. I
have to applaud for all the cast.
Especially the actor who played hwang
shi mok cuz its not at all easy to play
a character who is emotionless and
yet show his emotions in way that the

audience knows what he is feeling but
without spoiling the fact that he is
emotionless and the way he did it was
incredibly good. Other actors were of
course amazing but I have to give him
a special mention cuz god I think he
deserves award for his acting.

The drama is not at all for the people
who like light dramas cuz I don’t think
there is anything light about this
drama. There 0.01% romance in it lol.
But if you are looking for a mystery/
thriller drama that plays with your
mind and makes it nearly impossible

to guess who is the killer then this
one is surely for you. Now let me tell
you a fun fact that made my respect
for this drama even bigger- me, a
person who MOSTLY guesses the
killer before perfectly right, failed to
guess him/her in this one.

Honestly till the end, my guess was
that “ anyone can be the killer” lol like
god it was hard to even fix on
someone and say “ yes he/she is a
killer!” that drama tricked ME! That
insanely good it is! Lol I am really sad
and fascinated by the fact that I
couldn’t guess lol.

Also even though the drama is a
mystery I loved the way they showed
us about korea’s corruption. The
message of the drama was to literally
inform and tell the people to stop
doing this even though we know no
one’s gonna stop but like its not gonna
hurt to try, right? I love dramas that
give a kind of social message.

Even though the drama is a mystery
and a very brilliantly done one it made
ME cry two times! And honestly that’s
a lot for me! Korean dramas often fail
to make me cry but this was an
exception. Overall this drama is one of
the best. If you like mystery/thrillers
then please do watch this one!

It is insanely good! Every episode and
every second is important like
honestly I didn’t even blink for a
second cuz I was afraid that would
miss something haha. Everything
from was perfect. The story was
brilliantly written and done/shown by
the director and the actors. I love this
drama so much!
