Freakishly impressive
There is something about jdramas...
They pull off bizarre and odd concepts exceptionally well.
After reading the synopsis, it sounded like something my 13-year-old 'vampire diaries' obsessed self would come up with as a prompt for a mystery novel on Wattpad (I do not write btw). Diving into the show and anticipating the rest of the plot, I was caught off-guard by its strangeness. The pilot episode set the tone and atmosphere accurately.
Nana was seemingly poignant but remarkably toxic and crazy. I didn't understand the neighbor's existence as a character and what she added to the story. Her arc was sadly left unexplored. I didn't expect familiar faces, but Aguni (AIB) with hair, a mustache and a seemingly younger face was a pleasant surprise.
The setting was restricted and monotonous, but its significance was well-explained. A continuous sense of eeriness lurked around, making the mood tense and gripping. Moreover, I enjoyed the color grading, the SYMBOLISM and the overall cinematography. It was extremely short (jdramas yay) and thoroughly binge-able.
Their shot at dark humor didn't work out from my point of view, and maybe I would've appreciated its eccentricity a little more if it had been any longer. The ending pretty much got messed up, but in a good way(?)
Certainly not for everyone especially the lighthearted.
