Just one word: AMAZING

Now I started watching this after seeing the gripping trailer and had pretty high expectations, and I can't believe the actual drama exceeded that and so much more! The suspense was unbelievable and each episode has something new to bring to the table. And it wasn't even just the suspense, but the heart that goes with the storyline.

Things I liked:

- The mystery. What really is happening? Why are things happening? What do they need to do now? Where do they go from here? Every episode I am left with many questions and while we learn something new at each step of the way, the thrill is so intense that we are still left wanting more. I watched this while it was airing and really, the 1 episode per week is not enough lol

- The characters and their personal storylines. If you happen to see my other reviews, you'll know that I am a huge fan of good characterizations, and this drama did just THAT. And you know what's even better than a well-written character? It's well-written characterS. I really liked how each episode focuses on different characters which teaches us a lot of things on how we should view and treat the people around us. Special shout-out to my precious cutie pie Lu Di <3

- The subtle romance. The main point of this drama is the mystery, and while the love line between the main characters could have been easily, well, "exploited", I'm so glad that didn't happen. The development of their relationship just happens in the background and didn't take away from the story. Granted I'm good even if there's no romance at all, but it still makes sense given the grand scheme of things and seeing what the leads went through together.

Tbh if this was shown on Netflix, it would definitely be a huge hit. Nonetheless I am so glad I watched this and even if we're already halfway through 2022, this is still the best drama of the year for me. Huge kudos to the whole team and the actors.
