What secrets lie hidden in the garden?
The biggest plus of this drama is the eerie atmosphere that it creates. Everything about it is perfect. The music with the OST being mostly without lyrics apart from one or two lines at the end of each episode, the camera work, the dark interior of the villa the secluded place in the backyard which both feel suffocating just from looking at them, the flashbacks being in black and white apart from things to focus on that are in colour. In the first episode, the eeriness is so strong that I nearly stopped watching because I thought that the drama was going to shift into a horror genre.
All the actors were brilliant, for some Moon Joo Ran (the main FL) felt a little flat but I think that Kim Tae Ri did an amazing job with her character even when the character was in a bad episode of her life and felt apathetic. Im Ji Yeon, who was playing Chu Sang Eun (the 2nd FL) absolutely stole the drama for me, her acting was the best of all, especially during emotional moments, I loved the most how she was acting at the funeral. The actors playing the two MLs also did a great job with their characters, mainly Kim Sung Oh, who was playing Park Jae Ho (the husband of the 1st FL). And Cha Sung Jae who played their son Seung Jae was amazing too, especially for his age.
Because we have unreliable narrators in this drama, it allows for a few plot twists to happen along the way, mainly at episodes 7 and 8, which completely blew me away.
And I have to say that I liked the ending.
9/10 from me, mainly for the athmosphere and acting! Well deserved!
