I started this drama with no expectations beforehand and went into it blindly, not knowing what it was about. The title and cover for me were intriguing enough to watch it.

For me, personally, it was a bit hard to get into, but still enjoyable enough to watch. It, however, wasn't binge-watch material, as the acting was a bit too off-putting for me to want to watch all of it in one go. It therefore took me about a month to finish it.

The strongest point of this drama in my opinion was the story and its development. In the first episode, you are just dropped into the main setting, without knowing much, though this could also be due to the lack of knowledge of the show I had beforehand. Throughout the story we see flashbacks enlightening you on what has happened, and we see development in the characters, some with very interesting aspects. Especially the reoccuring things were intriguing. However, the ending for me was very disappointing. It was quite confusing, and it, to me, was not very clear what happened.

Then the acting. Like I mentioned earlier, the acting was a bit too off-putting for my liking. Especially in the first few episodes I just found the actresses to be screaming a lot, which in my opinion was quite annoying. However, over the episodes, it gradually got better. Yet in the final episode I found the acting too extravagant again, which did not help the story. The acting and cast therefore were not the strongest point of the show.

As to the music, I can't say I really noticed it. This is, in a way good, as it means the music didn't fit into the drama either, but it also wasn't very spectacular.

Overall, this drama was decent, especially due to the story, but it definitely had some points that could have been improved had the drama been produced on a bigger budget.
