The actors lived their characters.

The acting impressed me. It wasn't just the protagonist who gave her all but all the supports too. The Five main leads including the protagonist portrayed their characters' truth.
To tell the protagonist's story the actions and mistakes of the other four characters were pivotal and did they do justice to that.
The antagonist, I almost cannot designate her as the antagonist because of the complexity of the story. Just as I would not be able to see the other ones in all good light. Such a complexity is necessary to tell a story so sensitive.

Story had a chance but sadly not well executed.
There are more chances one would be confused by the ending then accept it as an open ending.
As I mentioned the theme is a complex one and though some boxes were checked, many other weren't and the movie ended up lacking. And towards the end one would scratch their head trying to decode the message which shouldn't have been the case.

Akin to Reality

What a good hit of reality. It accurately depicted the nature of competition in any field but specifically the Influencers one.

PGY was totally fitted to the role, so much so that the line between reality and fiction blurred. Besides her almost all of the cast contributed equal in making the series true to its intention.
One could see that absence of any one of the character would have sunken the ship.
There were No plotholes to be found.

Despite those there were certain scenes with not much plot development, mostly scenes of Mr. Han with Ms.Yoon. The reason might be because we were being introduced to their past and while their story wasnt pivotal to the series it's existence did make the series whole.

All signs of a well produced, great screenplay Drama.
