Brilliantly fascinating

Manhole was such a brilliantly fascinating drama, despite the first two episodes being quite rocky and slow. The story was full of surprise twists and turns, was complex enough to keep the viewer guessing whilst also not being too complex to follow, and the characters were all interesting in their own way. Manhole was also decently edited and directed, and it felt like the entire cast had an absolute blast filming this. I really enjoyed the cast, and whilst I wasn't familiar with everyone, I have now became a fan of everyone. The OST was also addictive. The re-watch value is decently high for my average standards despite the aforementioned rocky first two episodes. I think this is due to two reasons. The first being that it had a time loop/time travel trope, which is my favourite trope. The second being that the story contained lots of little pieces that had its' own airtime, meaning I was kept interested throughout.

Any negatives? A couple of minor parts to the story (i.e. a certain male character should have ended up with a certain female character, when you see the last part of the final episode, you will know exactly to who I am referring to). Any other negatives? Not any that really stand out to me, except from the odd occasional 'comedy' scene that fell a little flat.

Do I recommend this? Definitely.
