Great acting but not gripping enough
Na Moon Young’s (Lee Bo Young) husband, Cha Sung Jae (Lee Moo Saeng), goes missing and is discovered to have died in a car crash, leaving problems to his family. The more Moon Young investigates her husband's past, the more conflicting stories are revealed, leaving her unsure of whom to trust.
The first two episodes sets up a good momentum; it was intriguing with the fast-paced plot. It was thrilling when most characters were suspicious, that I couldn't trust anyone besides Moon Young. It was also nice to see Moon Young was a strong female lead who fights back with her smart and cheeky moves, that led towards few satisfying winnings for her early on. But with that early twists, the suspense plateaued it was not exciting anymore. Every moment, every motion that the characters made, it was obvious on how everything was going to work out, even if there was some major twists. I'm tired with the plot and I'm tired with everything that happens around the husband. Despite everyone's great performance, I did not connect at all with any of the characters. In the end, I don't think it was worth it for all the predictability and tropes.
