This is an example of a kdrama that starts out rather promisingly, but fails to uphold its quality throughout the end. Sometimes the special effects were a little cheesy (but that I can live with as long as the plot is good), but what really bothered me was the inability of the story to progress and develop. Post episode 10, it felt like each episode was simply an iteration of the same thing, with slight deviations, making the end tiring and repetitive to watch. I was excited to see the development of both the MC's here, but definitely fell a little flat on the heroine, and while the hero had some interesting development initially, that slowed down. Also, I didn't particularly care for the "does he love me does he want to kill me" trope that the heroine kept obsessing over in the same bland, one note. Some of the supporting characters' stories were also really weird and one-note.


Do not recommend. Not painful, just really boring.

Honestly, it's not terrible, just a middle of the line drama. Somewhat edgy because of the more mature themes in it, but the story overall fell flat as it got more and more convoluted in the last few episodes.
PROS: Does a good initial job of building up the suspense of the mystery, good chemistry between the actors and pretty good acting overall. The MC . is pretty well rounded.
CONS: For all the building up of suspense, the payoff is lacking...especially for the question of their marriage imo. Story tended to kinda drag on towards the end and the convoluted plot was a little confusing to follow.
I think this is definitely an ok watch if you go in prepared for an intense tone and don't expect too much of the ending.
