Such a fun watch that had me invested
Nearly perfect. The villains/antagonists were competent, the humor was fun, and the drama, when it hit, was well done. I like that the ghosts were actually very scary/creepy/unsettling, not a single one failed to leave me unsettled. I like that the characters were properly flawed and the story didn't pull punches when those flaws and wrongdoings arose. The relationships between all the leads was compelling and they were all distinct. There were a lot of great plot twists I didn't see coming, and the ones that I did see, unfolded in a way that felt still felt satisfying. Every twist made sense and deepened the plot in a way that felt really intentional.Half a star off for occasional nonsense behavior from the characters which annoyed me specifically (signing a contract w/o reading, continuously moving your intended murder victim to a secondary location repeatedly when you have the chance to take them out right there, slowly circling your intended murder victim while they're incapacitated instead of taking them out right there), but those moments did not happen often. Most other times I thought the character would be dumb or make mistakes for plot convenience, they didn't which was always a pleasant surprise and caused interesting conflict for the main characters.
I've been in a slump lately where I haven't been able to finish more than one drama this year despite starting several, but I finished this one in 3 sittings across 3 days. Starting with the turn at the end of episode 5, I pretty much couldn't stop watching because when the things finally taken a dramatic turn, the drama had already done a good job at getting me attached to the characters and their relationships, so I was thoroughly invested in the outcome, something I have not gotten in other dramas I watched this year.
I'm really got around to sitting down and watching this one!
