Outstanding!

From the PERFECT cast, to the amazing story... idk where i should start to compliment this kdrama.
First 10/11 episodes were a masterpiece. This was headed to be my ALL TIME favorite Kdrama and then it became one of my favorites.

I suspected EVERYONE in this kdrama. When i say everyone i mean it. From all the cops, to the in laws, to the friends, to the wife, to the sister, to the main actor. No one was safe. Every episode i had a new suspect in mind, and usually that never happens to me while watching Kdramas, because usually no one has the budget to have a lot of suspectful characters. It's usually so easy to understand the plot right away from like episode 3, but NOT this one!

From episode 1 to 10, this was the best Kdrama i've ever seen in my life. Unmatched... but then from episode 11 to the end, the CRAZY enthusiasm i had while watching every episode slowly started to fade. Not because it turned bad, not at all, but because it started to feel like a long filler to get to the end.

Leaving the wife, returning, going together, pretending to work with her, leaving her again... felt, to me, very repetitive and easy to spot intentions. And up until episode 10 almost nothing about this kdrama was predicable for me. Idk how to really explain it, but usually this sort of tv show makes you suspect everyone until the very end, and leave 1 or 2 episodes max to clear it all out. Revealing a lot of honest feelings at episode 11/12, when the show ends at 16, was a bit risky.

Not to mention the last episode. When i finished episode 15 i was like "ok. now what?" and then from the first shot alone i knew what the writers would do with the rest of the story, and even though you could say it was fitting (2nd chance)... idk, also felt a little bit like an unnecessary arc?!

With all of this being said, this Kdrama it's still a "9" for me.
I never re-watch content, but i can't wait to re-watch this in a few years. I feel like i might end up having different feelings towards it. Feels like something i should watch more than once.
