This is a sleeper hit thriller drama for 2024 and I highly recommend it to someone who likes slow burn thrillers with gripping story line and with reasonable conclusion.

Long story short this drama requires patience. True to it's name it deals with how blackout and manipulation can affect someone's course of life. The unraveling of mysteries happen slowly but continuously and it feels like how flesh wounds heal - extreme discomfort followed by unraveling of wounds and finally healing. Sometimes I wondered how much deception can the poor ML handle before he breaks apart but I am so happy the show ended how it did. Sometimes it's just that - nasty people are nasty and let them handle the consequences of their actions on their own. You stay true to your original intention and continue living.

Be warned this show showcases some of the most selfish, terrible villains in k-drama history and (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) they feel no remorse on throwing shades and dirt on somebody else to keep living their life guilt free. It's almost as if they hypnotized into believing the lies they designed so that they can keep living. Once truth resurfaces, their wounds fester and finally they have to face the monsters they have become.

Upon research I learned that this drama is an adaptation of German novel "Snow White Must Die" and the team has done an excellent work to bring this story to life in a Korean setting.
