I like it but my review is likely lacking

I was gripped from start to finish and I feel at a lost in the way it ended but my blood is still pulsing hard in my curiosity concerning the ending, though I suppose it will be solved in the next installment which still seems to be out of reach...

Though playing two roles the actor was powerful enough to pull it off. It was rather believable until you focus on the credits to be met with shock and surprise. One being precise, reserved and insecure while the other reckless, outgoing and restless. Even in looks they had this profound difference despite the facts.
The cast was expansive and blurred in and out from background to foreground rather naturally, the focus were the twins and at no point could it be forgotten and some things even feel purposely omitted because of this.
One scene that felt off was when a certain someone’s dad became deceased....The scene felt forced and needlessly prolonged that instead of sympathy for her situation, I couldn’t help but see it negatively like waiting for a professor to stop going off on a tangent...
Theirs a few other cases where it seemed she didn’t have the strength to fulfill her characters potential emotional value. It was at times like I was convinced by the script and not her protrail but in some instances she has her moments....Still maybe the character was too complex to be believable in the first place? I don’t know if this may be intentional or not (aka implicating that she is not naturally sincere like the case where evidence was forged despite her claiming to be righteous but it can also be argued not to be taken that way either)

Either way I find the story engaging and complex and it also hints a lot yet still fits snuggly being seen a certain way before you gain more understanding when met with the later parts of the story

Do I love Namgoong too much?

Alright I will be straight with you, I got to the point when watching this I was just rooting for the killer to win...I don’t know if it’s mainly because I am fond of the actor taking the majority of reasoning to why but this is just how it is....
I can understand/accept the sort of halfway they made investigations at times because it can be relatively straight forward and not too contradictory...
The romance. I didn’t get it. I completely bewildered in why she could be interested in such a guy and to why a guy so obsessed with his sister being killed how he can be nonchalant about her being the reason it actually happened to the point they hit it off. Honestly he always has no faith in her eyes despite the fact she proven him time and again until someone else mentions something or she forces him to listen in some way that often relies on her being in danger or something non benefiting.
Plus that kiss they share in the apartment and she runs away....She is 23 (?) that was their second kiss even if you consider it a more serious one at that age no matter how naive you are the way she reacted was too ott (what is she? 12?) and him too boorish. Plus that forced fake dating, non date where the first one happens....Ughh
I just can’t see it working it out, it seems so utterly forced, that if you told me he faked loving her to use her for her ability , I wouldn’t really blink in surprise or anything but nonchalantly say “oh”

I loved the acting from the doctor but well he died....Then the well beloved chef obviously loved all his scenes and the built up tension he displayed, the cold collectiveness and the reserved smile...If anything he became the backbone to the whole story for me, his parts seemed the only ones that seemed in-depth and actually had detail
I don’t know if it merely the actors strength that gave it value but I would not be surprised if that’s the case...Because after all that was built up to become a lame excuse “I choose who lives and dies” ......How...Unpowerful for a character with face blindness...That reasoning just undermines all the actors work to define a character because as soon as they were said even such a great character had no value...
Honestly the writer could of made use of the journals he made his victims write swirled in with face blindness like making them write such a thing gave them an identity. I mean to someone with face blindness everyone is a stranger even the people you could refer to as close too whether it be family or friend, that killing came from the frustration or fear from such a isolating thing because to him what difference would a death make? He can’t see their presence to begin with so it could of given him a jaded idea of existence itself....Plus was victim 00 ever found? It’s just so lackluster to how it could of been
I skipped to see the ending and just gave up, I was only sticking around for the killer and he died, the romance meant nothing to me, the fact the mc she gave up on her dream to be a comedian though honestly it was random to why she wanted to be one in the first place. Plus she just became his sniffer dog and doesn’t even have a honeymoon....Work obsessed and all that with others benefiting from her ability and taking credit despite her figuring it out step by step all on her own in the majority of cases...Honestly ironically she had more heartwarming moments and tender moments with the killer rather then her love interest but she just blurts out his name during thoose scenes to express how impossible it is...
