This show literally is insane and not very much for sensitive people. But if you can go through all the trigger warnings and handle a dark psychology show like this, i definitely recommend it.

Drama changes your (at least my) view on religions a little bit, but i think most people wouldn't get affected religiously by a show, still very traumatic and makes you question your beliefs a lot.

It's also very creepy and makes you stressed all the time, you are waiting for something insane happen every second. And when it happens, it happens very suddenly which makes you stress more.

Whenever you watch it, you get shocked even more;
"Did he just do that to her??"
"Did she just witness her brother's suicide??"
"Dafuq why is that so creepy"

**STORY**
• 9.0
- Cult thing was really disturbing and the way people here was so brainwashed was somehow hilarious, her dad pissed me off a lot. I don't think they were actually christians, they saw that "Spritiual father" as a God itself, which was very away from the actual Christian Beliefs. It shows the reality of religious cults similar to like this.

**ACTING/CAST*
• 10
- I loved the acting so much, it literally makes you feel the scene as if you are actually going through it. And actors were literally amazing, cast was a masterpiece itself. Seo yeaji did a great job portraying Sang-Mi, i loved her character so much. She went through a lot and never gave up, couldn't have been me though.

**MUSIC**
•7.0
- I don't remember anything so, i can't really say much but back ground music was really fitting the scenes which was also adding fuel to the stressing scenes.

**REWATCH VALUE**
• 5.0
- Even though i loved this show much and recently (like 3 days ago) rewatched it, this drama isn't really rewatchable. Not because of it's bad, but it's really disturbing and kind of slow paced that's really dark, it 'traumatizes' you which is really makes it unrewatchable. Great show tho.

**EXTRAS**
- there were filler episodes and most of them weren't about the plot itself, i feel like they tried to added too much filler episodes to make it 16 eps.
- i loved how they didn't add any romance in this show.
- no one believing her was really stressing, i can't even explain that
- i loved how they added awareness of some serious topics, we don't usually see those in k-dramas except most of them are glorified.
- the places were aesthetically pleasing. i don't know how to explain it but it was just having a vibe, especially at night, am i the only one who loved the town a lot?
- the thought of them only helping her because they first was interested in her was scary, when you think about it.
- makes you feel all kind of emotions

Finally, this drama is good enough and a good thruller / dark psychology. Recommended.
