This drama grabbed me from the very first episode and I couldn't stop watching until the very end. There are some bleak moments and moments where you already know the answer but still watch. I could guess where the drama was going until the very end and they pulled a lot of twists that kept me wondering what they were going to do next.

I loved the cinematography in this show. It is beautifully shot and helps give some of the scenes that eerie feeling it needed. I loved the contrast between the to FL's as well. You have one rich, beautiful housewife who has a doctor husband and can get anything she wants. While on the other you have a struggling pregnant housewife who is being abused by her husband daily. The acting between both Kim Tae-Hee and Im Ji-Yeon is incredible. Especially Ji-Yeon. She does such a great job of playing a woman at the end of her rope and will do anything to better her life for her baby. There were so many moments that her acting just blew me away.

I wish that we could've gotten a little more of Joo-Ran's backstory before they moved. Her entire past was so interesting and we only really got to see bits and pieces from it and most of it was warped by her husband spoiling her memories. I felt so bad for her and what she went through with both her sister and Seung-Jae's teacher. I just wanted more for my own personal interest.

A good quick watch if you want a mystery, but also if you want something that gets you thinking about how you want to live your life for YOU and not others around you.
