This really exceeded my expectations! It was gripping and intense. Acting was on point. It was way better than the Korean movie (the drama format allows to go way more in depth in each characters' psychology ).
Just noticed the director of this movie is the same as the one for 'Nobody Knows' (2004). No wonder it was so great... Go watch them (both are masterpiece) if you haven't yet!
I dropped it after watching the first 2 episodes. The pacing of the episodes was weird (compared to other similar shows like Chuang or YWY which had way more "character development") and no introducing performance left a deep impression on me.
Sadly, I had to drop it. Objectively it is a good drama, but I just can't watch drama where most characters change at every episodes like this one. You get attached to one, and then he is gone forever with no hope of seeing it back again.
Too bad the relationship between Li Ran and Shen Yao is not developped more. The first episodes gave me high hopes ("I don't want to be brother with you" vibes), but there was zero developpment and minimal screen time regarding this in latest episodes.
The ending was ok, of course these open endings are a bit frustrating but it could have been way way worst (like the werewolf game movies ending, where the survivors basically walk out of the school and nothing is ever explained).
For those confused by the schedule. Episodes are released at midnight korean time, which makes it the day before in other countries. This week, we will get 4 episodes. One each day from monday to thursday (sunday to wednesday US/EU time).

This is worth 7/10 imo.

Should I give it another try?
