I will talk more about the characters in this review but you have to know a few things about this series !
First, don’t be fooled by the ´little ´ amount of episodes (8) or the short duration (40-50mn) compared to regular dramas because you won’t even notice. It’s very complete from the beggining to the end.
Eventhough I was watching while crocheting and embroidering, it got me really invested in. I went through so many emotions ! Mostly hate towards two or three characters especially so as to say that fake and psycho friend of junseong, director hwang and that neighbor. I loved the neighbor at the beggining for feeling something was off as well as her boyfriend and for trying to help min woo but she quickly started acting stupid. I mean why writers made her follow the at some point to just film and not call the police ?? She could has started by calling the police before taking the proof. But I appreciated her help to minwoo afterwards. Actually we didn’t get to have a closure for her and her family so this would be the only bad point for me.
Throughout the whole show, the real villain was all along jaehyo ! He was so inhumane ! First he came up with the twisted plan, dragged his supposedly best friend junseong in it, kept torturing min woo and tried so many time to kill him…
The OST are in point but like not memorable to put in my playlist for example but both the intros were so accurate and high-budget, I loved it !!

Then before we get down to get the characters, let me tell you the cast, the acting were just pure délice ! ?✨I already knew some actors (junseong, minwoo and minwoo’s mom) so they proved their talent again but I got to discover others like Jaehyo and the two reapers.


NOW WHAT YOU ALL WAITED FOR : The characters !

Minwoo is such a freaking good character and very complex. I love him so much. He went through a lot and people were always taking advantage of him for being rich even from childhood… But he kept trusting the world around him ?. He is so wholesome but I know he will have severe sequels afterwards and definetely trust issues and he doesn’t deserve that ! His reactions as a human were really accurate, as he was always doubting they would let him go alive and tried to save himself multiple times. In this situation everyone who got abducted by their so-said friend(s) would have the same reaction. He gave both of them the right punishment they deserved !!

Before we get to his mother, kudos to the reaper who from the beggining always respected her and even disobeyed his boss because he saw and admired how strong her maternal love was and how strong she was always !

Then minwoo’s mom is litteraly my second fave!
Even if everything was being way too overwhelming, she managed to think rationally. An example would be when she tested the echo when she was supposed to meet (….) *censored* to try to locate where they were. Another example was when she revealed her plan at the end of last episode, how she took advantage of the disadvantageous situation she was in and turned it to something incredible. I loved the moment she told the secretary to ask minwoo what he wanted to do with (….) *censored again*

The end was so satisfying to watch and very smart. Many things were well-thought of and really interesting ! The symbolic with Jaehyo’s voice talking to junseong at the end and him not turning back was so strong…?❤️
To end this review, keep in mind this is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED !!
