I wanted to love this drama so bad. The first 12ish episodes were absolutely amazing and I was sure this drama would be a 10/10 or a 9/10 at the very least. But after the main idea was introduced, nothing more interesting happened. It’s not really a good sign when the synopsis of a drama is the most interesting part about the drama. The plot just kind of went in a weird direction and never really recovered. I was hoping the main plotline would be centered around Yoon Hui Jae but it ended up being around one of his weird little underlings for most of the drama. To me it seemed kinda dumb to include him at all besides to make the audience think that the older brother was the murderer and then make the brother out to just be a victim of Yoon Hui Jae by revealing this other psycho dude to be the one that caused all the crimes in the first place. I definitely would have enjoyed this better if YHJ escaped earlier and was hunting them the whole time instead of just in the last 8 or so episodes. The entire plot also felt too safe and too diluted if that even makes any sense. Like everything was moving at a snail’s pace for some reason and it just got really boring after a while. Someone needs to take this speed up button away from me because the last third of this was watched at 3 times speed and it was still too slow. I agree with another review that said the emotional depth between the leads was not there. I feel like there’s supposed to be something but their entire relationship feels very shallow and one-dimensional. My guess is because they didn’t allow for enough screen time to flesh out their relationship and the drama focused more on the serial killer plotline. With the snail’s pace they took, they could have honestly done both. I’m convinced that Jang Ki Young just doesn’t pick very good romance dramas because I didn’t like anything that I watched him in except for The Boy Next Door. I really don’t know what to say besides that I wanted MORE from this. Just more of everything. More drama, more angst, more romance, more fleshed out characters. Just more. Still a 7/10 because I believe this is a decent story but it just felt oddly empty to me.
