...Because apparently women cant't do anything except get hit in the face...

This drama has a dark atmosphere and will make you feel frustration and helplessness. It's like screaming when no one's listening.

For the sensitive viewers:
It does not contain any grotesque scenes to be honest. The worst you will encounter is insanity. Other than that, sharp objects or other unpleasant things will be blurred out. (Of course, this is South Korean television were talking about. People are sent to the army but are not allowed to see sharp objects or dead animals... dead humans are fine though... )

I did not cry one single time!

The plus side:
The acting was very good. I think they all did a very good job. Considering how difficult the characters must have been to portray I think everyone did it perfectly.

It was well executed. The pace was comfortable and it was filmed in a very creepy way.

The minus side:
The women drove me a bit crazy. For some reason the after taste of this drama, tasted like WEAK WOMEN. I felt like all women in this drama were so fragile. Even a little push would break them. The men though, they were punching and kicking like animals...

I would have wanted some romance. The focus was in the right place but giving the audience one emotion for all 16 episodes is like chewing gum. It loses taste. I would have wanted the writers to fit in some physical contact between Sang Mi and Dong Cheol (Don't get me wrong. I mean a hug or something). If you watch this drama you will understand how much it would help. It wouldn't have to be a big deal. Just show a different kind of weakness. The one where you take a second to borrow strength, then recharge.

All in all, it was executed perfectly and it had a great story. I'm Just crabby cause I'm picky

This is the "forced into a cult with your family and being the only sane one, while society is too corrupt to save you" drama.

ENJOY!
