This drama is honestly so underrated. It was slower-paced than "A Boy Called Flora A" but smarter and deeper than "Love of Sandstorm." All in the all, the best of the "Q-series" dramas that Taiwan made in 2016 to showcase their drama making abilities.
The acting was quite good but the story here was the best part. This is ome of the best Asian whodunnits I have seen recently. Yes, as some have mentioned, it is very slow paced at parts and they could have cut down on some of the flashbacks but you can see that writers took time to make a well thought out story. You won't be able to guess the killer til the very last moment and you will be on the edge of your seat til the very end. Though I can make some minor nitpicks, the writers took care of every detail. And tbh the story of these friends who lost each other and their way in their life is also very emotionally engaging.
I would recommend this drama to anyone who likes a good murder mystery with lots of suspense. 9.5/10 from me.
This story is actually depressing af. They were such a caring circle of friends; yet one innocent prank from ten years ago and two people's toxic love led to so much pain, death and suffering. Also, rip to Ms. Fang and her son, who were just minding their business until these assh*les came to their lodge.
this is such a weird drama, from the very first 5 minutes. kinda interesting tho. gonna try to watch all episodes and see where they are going with this.
Some of the stories were so-so and other episodes were absolute masterpieces.
I've watched Black Mirror but honestly I enjoyed this drama way more. The guest stars were all uniformly amazing but special mention has to go Chicha's top tier acting skills.
I can not recommend Girl from Nowhere enough. 9/10.
the ending was honestly quite satisfying and the natural conclusion of Mio's character arc
I was shipping her with Harashima from the start but, as Mio found out in her vision, she wouldn't have been really happy with either man. Good on her for realizing that and choosing her own path!
