The tittle suit the drama so well. You'll even would like to say 'save me' while you watch the drama because it may gives you the creep like it did to me. The beginning, mostly the first 4 episodes, were the most difficult to watch because it was very creepy (of course not in bad way).

The story is absolutely brilliant, the way everything was told, portrayed, from the beginning until the end. I absolutely love the story, everhything about the story is perfect. However, as I have said, the beginning was difficult to handle, mostly the first 4 episodes because it was creepy and actually kind of slow at the same time, you could feel the tension, the creepy and mystery vibe deep down. Starting from the episode 4-5, it starts to get more and more dynamic, you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But you also can see that the tunnel is veryyy long and so until you reach the light, it will be long and you'll need strenght, hope and patience. The end is very satisfying from my opinion.
The topic of the drama, religious cult, is so well thought because it is rare to find those type of story in a drama and it I think it is an important topic because what is told in this drama is similar to what truly happens in real life. I also like a lot the political aspect, and law enforcement aspect.
Plus, I love how they have portrayed the manipulation done by the adults who took advantage of the young people which causes huge damages. Honestly and seriously, the majority of the adults in this drama were absolutely disgusting, annoying, and leaves you with anger. In addition, I would like to say thank you to OCN for not adding any cringe romance. (OCN literally never disappoint).
Most importantly, I love how the young people were portrayed as weak (even the rich ones) and they had to mature to be aware of many things and fight against people with more power, more connection, more exeprience with bad intention. Well, it portrays real life so well actually.

The acting is perfect. At first I was skeptical about the main female lead but from the begining until the end she was absolutely fabulous, as well as the two main male leads. I cannot complain here, really.

The music is fine, I especially like the ost by 'The Vane' called 'Illusion'. It fits the drama clearly.

Please watch it, it is a must-see, but be aware it may be complicated to handle some scenes, if you can handle it, and/or if you are brave lol, it is more than worth to watch it.
