Ummmmm
A good storyline. Since it was released it 2019, I believe many other dramas like Bitch x Rich, Heirarchy, etc have somewhat taken inspiration from this.
However, the reason why I’m giving this a 6.5 is because it’s unnecessarily dragged. It really didn’t need to have 16 eps. The very fact that Su-a’s killer was from within the school and Ki Mu Hyeok was also aware of this fact from the start but still kept on failing to find the right clue should be enough to justify that this drama is slow paced.
The mystery shouldn’t have been this complicated, honestly.
I don’t think Ki Mu Hyeok or any lawyer in this drama, for once, sat down and wondered who could be the killer. They were going on and on trying to find clues without even having a suspect in mind.
In my humble opinion, if even one of them thought rationally for once, they could’ve sat down and actually made a list of suspects that they could investigate on individually instead of aiming to collect all the information out there. I think that would’ve been less time consuming.
Beom-Jin was portrayed as this “master manipulator”. However, even he had cracks and weaknesses. The problem was no one noticed because, for some reason, the writers wanted everyone else to be a dumbass compared to him. Like, are you seriously telling me there isn’t one student in the entire school that recognises him for who he is except for Su-a? Cmon now. The fact that he so obviously resented his father but still killed Su-a to protect his father’s image proves that, at the end of the day, he resents himself too because he’s just like this father. And that hatred he had towards his own self showed every time he spoke like he was so high and mighty.
Nonetheless, I wasn’t that big of a fan of Su-a’s character as well. Doesn’t justify her murder, though. I also felt like Ye-ri didn’t serve much importance to the drama. Main role for no reason.
Still a good drama if you like slow paced mysteries
