A friend of mine loved this drama so I decided to give it a go. I had tried watching it once before, but had a hard time getting past the first episode. Since I've had more time recently, I pushed myself through it.

I have to admit that the acting is fantastic. As I was watching, I kept wanting to scream at the screen telling Jong Woo to get out of that literal hell hole. Everyone really did such a wonderful job playing characters that I hope are nothing like their real life personas ;)

However, I felt like ten episodes of this was too much and would have been done better as maybe a slightly longer film. Halfway, I was ready to call it quits again because it was not only a bit repetitive but also, such a drama is rather psychologically and emotionally taxing as well. I wonder if this would have been a drama that would have been better watching week after week rather than binging over the course of a few days.

I rated the rewatch value low since these dramas are hard for me to watch again, especially already knowing what happens. I'd say it's probably not a drama for everyone, but if the theme is up your alley, then it'd likely be a good one to check out.
