Great series but questioning story
First, it was short and action packed, so it kept me engaged until the end. The acting was amazing, characters were interesting and the music was a bop, I could have finished it in one day, but because of work I finished it in two! I truly recommend it but some things don't add up (SPOLERS!!!):Why didn't the police protect Jiwoo in any way? That captain knew what was going on but did nothing... I suppose he thought she died as well, but he could have found her before that whole ordeal happened and protect her in some way.
If he wanted to keep her busy and also protect himself, Moojin could have fabricated some evidence to make her suspect the captain. Why didn't he just kill Gangjae instead of only hurting him? That guy was crazy, it was obvious he would try and get revenge?
And soo soo many other stuff... like how did she even survive at the end? Who helped her? The captain? The police was searching for her, how didn't she end up in jail?
I was so invested in this story it was hard to question things while watching it, only after so it was really good anyway!

Pretty fun to watch but a bit frustrating
Kang Yeo Joo is portrayed to be a really clever person, but she cannot figure out how her husband is cheating on her. This was the thing that frustrated me the most. How could she not see the clues? At first, I thought she ignored them on purpose, because she loved Han Woo Sung, but after a while I realized she didn't knew. How?! Yeo Joo noticed the smallest things in Mr. Ma's publishing house that made her realize he's not a real publisher, but she couldn't figure out that Woo Sung was with multiple women and with some very obvious clues?? That made me feel really dissapointed, I expected she'd figure it out sooner.At times the story felt like it was being dragged and in the last two or three episodes a lot of stuff happened, not ending the story properly enough in my opinion. What actually was the Secret Prayer Room? ( I have a vague idea of what is it about, but they made it seem such a big deal and there wasn't so much information given about it, guess it'll remain a big secret for me haha) Did she actually kill her husband? I mean, it was a really big deal for her, so I assume she did, but after finding out more about Yeo Joo, she doesn't seem the type to do such thing. Why did she keep so many poisonous flowers in her garden if not to use them lol?
To be honest, I wish she was the villain she was portrayed to be, it would have been more interesting, but still, she was a complex character. I wish her and Soo Ho would have ended up together lol. Woo Sung was a really interesting character as well, even if he was a liar and a cheater, at some points I was rooting for him.
With all of those complaints though, I still gave the series a high rating. It was funny, entertaining and it kept me hooked up. I was curious to see what was going to happen next and who actually killed the actress. I would have never guessed the real killer so props to the writer to that! It was a bit of a strange kdrama, but I enjoyed watching it. If you like to watch mystery dramas, this is for you! The cast was wonderful, the acting was on point and I loved the music!

An amazing kdrama
It was an amazing show! I really enjoyed the plot twists. There were many times I could not predict what was going to happen next so it kept me on the edge on my seat, The first few episodes were really confusing for me though since they kept jumping between the past and the present and sometimes I didn't knew what was actually happening haha. After those time skips become less frequent it gets really good though.The actors were really great, there was some action, tension, some comedy here and there and some scenes broke my heart. The chemistry between some characters were really good and I wish there was more romance because of that lol but even without it the show was really enjoyable.
I totally recommend this if you're into legal dramas!

Always listen to your gut
This drama was amazing! I am not a fan of gore and bloody scenes, but I was hooked on this drama and I wanted to finish it. It was so worth it! The series takes us on Jung Woo's journey to insanity and teaches us that, well, hell is indeed in other people and even in ourselves.To be honest, if Jong Woo decided to trust himself a little, he wouldn't have stayed at the studio and maybe he wouldn't have gone mad. Sadly, his friend and girlfriend didn't trust him either, so that made him feel even more lonely and had to deal with all of that himself. The only characters that were supportive of him were his mother and smol bean Seok-yoon. Maybe if he got there earlier, things would have been different.
I understood that his girlfriend had her own struggles, but she was quite frustrating. She never listened to him or thought he was overreacting.
Some scenes were questionable (I mean, the sudden addition of his old friend from the army, I liked him, but I don't know why he had to be present), but it was an amazing drama with beautiful acting and got me thinking a little. I would skip the bloody parts but I'd watch it again!
