Sleepless Society: Bedtime Wishes (2019)

Bad story development

This starts out promising and then quickly falls.
The first episodes are really interesting. They all end in a cliffhanger (something that, as a viewer, I don't appreciate, although it's really clever production-wise) and from the very start we understand that there are multiple mysteries. At the end of the series each and every character is, in some way, correlated to one another.

What started as a promising stories, quickly let down every expectation I had. The mysteries anticipated in a handful of episodes are quickly revealed in the span of two or three episodes. From there the story becomes a rivalry between two families and everyone wants to kill each other. Everything comes to an end when the inevitable happens: the mentally unstable character kills the ONLY TWO INNOCENT PEOPLE and everyone realises how much of a dick they had been.

The story shows how fragile human relationships are, but they do it in a very uninteresting way. The whole story ends up revolving around jealousy, desire of revenge and greed. It's just too toxic for me to like it. I even started hating the protagonist, I just couldn't stand her madness anymore.

Also the special effects are just poor. Luckily they haven't used them too often.

Watch it if you're bored, but don't expect anything.

Worst Plot Development

At first it appears that the female lead has stumbled upon something sinister but it slowly appears to be something completely different. It was entertaining for a while until murders were happening without the police questioning, bullets were flying around; again without anybody questioning the deaths with a GSW. Leads getting stabbed as a cliffhanger and the opening scene in the next epi is them walking out of a car talking like nothing happened. Small plots developed in between are left as if the writers forgot to bring them to an end. Everybody wants to kill everybody but nobody actually dies except the 2 harmless and sinless people in story. And whats more, you dont even feel sorry for the characters because you never connected with them.
Just a lazily written story and haphazardly developed plot. Only saving grace is the acting of the leads.
