You're not missing out by skipping this series

This show really is terrible. The second season even more so. Pt 2 feels like it caters purely to the audience with no respect to plot or logic. It's like they locked a group of horny teenagers and this was the outcome. Both the actresses were unbearable to watch. The fl in Pt 1 shouldn't have attempted speaking in dialect. It sounded as awkward as it looked. I only have negative things to say about the actress in Pt 2. The male lead was horrendous, character wise. I could not and did not want to root for him. I understand this was an attempt at creating grey characters but god damn, was it awful. The chemistry was off. The ml really had a thing for women who acted like a mom.

I will never understand the Hong sisters' warped sense of what a badass female character is nor will I understand their need to mock, taunt, make fun or, and insult other women in their shows to make the fl shine.

The stakes weren't very high. There wasn't a point in the show where I was at the edge of my seat. The world building was flat and illogical. They threw in random explanations to make the world building fit the scene, which was odd.

All in all, disappointing. Not eager to see Lee Jaewook in future projects.

Blood and gore meet sitcom shenanigans

Absolute 10/10 for me.

Bae Doona can never disappoint. I loved the family dynamics, the behavioral parallels between the family members, and the black comedy. It's surprising that this show is Lee Suhyun's (Baek Jiwoo) debut role considering how well she performed.

The various relationship developments were my favourite part of this show. The level of gore was unexpected but not unwelcome. This show truly has some of the most positively hateful villains.

Looking forward to season 2.
