the best thriller of 2020
Short and sweet review — but first. Wow ... I’m in awe for how amazing this kdrama is, came to write a review as soon as I finished it and oof I have a lot of good things to say.
This drama dealt with time-travel similar to “Signal” but cleverly did it, in a way for viewers to still follow along with the characters and the plot (something TKEM didn’t do *cough cough*), you’re rooting for the protagonists like crazy through this drama because SHOCKINGLY, the villains are actually worth your time, and the amount of twists per episode were done so well, you can’t forget what happens in the previous episodes.
I really have to commend the flow and pacing of this drama as well, thrillers are supposed to have good pacing, that’s how thrills are enhanced and we as viewers find out more intricate things about the characters and the overall plot, I can tell you right now, you won’t have a problem with awkward cuts or “off character” motives, everyone has a part to play. Even characters you might hate at the beginning, you’ll end up feeling sympathy for in the end.
I lastly have to commend the cast for their amazing acting performances, in particular Shin Sung Rok and Lee Se Young as the ML & FL respectively. They did a fantastic job of portraying their characters, and honestly now that I look back, I can’t see anyone else playing them, they were just so good. However don’t look for romance between the two, with the amount of crap they had to go through, they did NOT have time for that lollll
If you’re a thriller guy/gal this drama will definitely be up your street, what holds it’s high rating I assure you are the acting performances, a well written ending, and a story that will tug at your heart strings till the very end :)
