Do memories hold power? Do those memories or the lack thereof shape who we become?

This was a spider web of lies and truths with the spider in the shadows waiting for its prey. The entire drama was a giant, twisted, puzzle and everybody had little pieces to the story. I found this super refreshing since most of the villain's reveal themselves for the suspense, but this was the exact opposite. The entire drama is a cat and mouse game, and I can't say I feel the least bit sorry for the mice in this one. The entire story is built on the fact that everything you know could be a mistruth and all your progress could disappear in an instant.

The acting is really well done. The premise did remind me slightly of He Is Psychometric, which initially made me hesitant to watch it, but it is nothing like it. I did feel they could have used music more to further the emotions in some scenes, but they made up for it with the killer (literally) storyline and suspense. You think you know who the culprit is then your thrown back into the dark over and over again helplessly. It was wonderful.

Just a warning, there are some decently violent scenes, along with a heavily implied rape scene near the end.

Definitely give this one a try if you like a good thriller/mystery. It will keep you on your toes.
