A humorous unhinged thriller that makes you laugh while keeping you engaged

E(1-4)
Has you hooked from the very first moment. I love how every character is busy showing off a fake side to the world and going to extreme lengths to keep the facade. "Not all that glitters is gold" .....the best way to describe both the families. There are no black or whites but every character is shades of grey and looking out for themselves. Both the first two episodes show the same situation but from different perspectives and the ending really makes you wish they dropped all episodes at once while third and fourth ep sets the stage for chaos.

E(5-8)
Doesn't loose it's spark and keeps you on your toes. Lots of revelations and a bigger mess to be cleaned out. The leads are really showing their true colors and as always everyone is looking out for themselves. This is one of the dramas where you don't even know who you want to root for or whether root for them at all. E6 ending was pure diabolically hilarious. The entire mess in the climax is absolute cinema and totally unhinged. As far as ending it is what you call satisfying.



Each actor is doing their jobs so phenomenally and the story so far is engaging. The humor is on point and doesn't derail the thriller moments. The ratings of this drama don't do justice to how fun it is to watch.
