Definitely not what's expected–keeps you leashed on like a pleading puppy
This is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. But it's a Binge Show for sure.
I have to categorize this drama more of noir/thriller/mystery rather than something fun-loving. Reminds me of moods in American drama Euphoria but in a completely different setting and storyline. Of course, with all these dramas, you have to take things with a grain of salt. This story definitely exaggerates the lives of influencers and celebrities, and there are some scenes that are quite fake imo; however, it doesn't destroy from a drama that continues to live up to the quote, "never know your next move". It truly was astonishing.
Honestly, I really wasn't expecting to be so hooked with this drama, as I've actually been hearing pretty bad reviews in general before I started, but I'm honestly so glad I finished it until the end. Not quite happy with the ending, just felt like it could've been a bit more rounded off and finished cleanly, but I guess it also helps keep people guessing the aftermath in a sense.
The best thing about this drama was how much it hooked you in. It grabs you, keeps your attention in-line and doesn't let go. And it's like this, Every. Single. Episode. I tried, I really tried taking breaks but it just wouldn't! My eyes would wander off but my brain would continue to think. That's how you know you're gripped in this never ending game.
AKA there is not a single wasted moment in the storyline. Literally everything either takes your breath away or wants you indulging for more, whether it be the main characters or other people. Hence, the writing is impeccable. The only frustrating part, for those who are all in about FL and ML, would have to be a tinge of lack of romance scenes (i.e. there was only one kiss scene throughout this whole show) between the FL and ML. But it's also understandable, since it's not the main point.
All in all, HANDS DOWN TO THE ACTORS/ACTRESSES, literally every. single. one. of them. You have to take credit for loving them, hating them, being suspicious with every character no matter how attractive they are. The cast really made the plot and storyline exponentially better. Period.
