Great start, quick decline
This drama was, in short, fine. It was okay. Not the worst thing I've ever seen, certainly nowhere near the best - maybe it'd be good background noise for working out or cooking or what have you, but I wouldn't suggest carving any time out for just watching this.The concept itself is great, and the first few episodes present it in a really interesting way. About halfway through more story components are added, important characters are introduced (not great to be introducing them halfway through a drama with only 8 episodes...), and frankly it just became boring. I found myself checking how long the final two episodes had left and sighing when I saw I'd barely even gotten halfway through them. On top of that, the main character has a serious lack of screentime per episode the further in the series you get. The ending itself was more or less what I wanted, at least, but it really fizzled out on the way there.
If nothing else, the cinematography was top notch. A significant chunk of my enjoyment towards the end came from the visual artistry in the editing. Again, great first few episodes, poor ending.
I wouldn't watch it again nor would I particularly suggest it to anybody who isn't just looking for a time killer. It's really an infinite well of wasted potential.
Tldr: ...meh.
