Time wasted

This is my first time writing a review, so bear with me. I had heard a lot of bad reviews, but I still wanted to watch it. The 7 episodes started out good, but then the plot just didn't go anywhere. The main character focused so much on the girl that he totally forgot about his brother.

Why was it so short, and why did it go nowhere? I mean, I guess the teacher got arrested, but still.
They should've addressed the fact that the teacher was literally a pedo. She got arrested for the murder but not for her relationship with Lee U Jin. He Ra might as well have been the female lead because Jae i didn’t do much. He Ra was the best character. Did Kang Ha waste his time focusing on Jae i only to get rejected? It’s frustrating—they had so much potential but brought nothing to the table. Episodes one and two were good, but after that, it was pretty bland.

There were some scenes, like the car race, that weren’t needed. They spent so much money on that instead of developing the plot. The love triangle was pointless. Why mix a love triangle with a murder mystery? They combined two plots but still couldn’t make a good drama. The way they tried to imitate American football in Korea was so funny.

Since the actors are a bit older, it feels weird watching them try to act like teenagers—you can tell they’re not, not just by their looks but by their acting.

Unexpectedly Captivating

This drama is definitely something but it's not the genre I typically go for. It had its flaws, but one thing it nailed was the pace. Seriously, each episode left me wanting more, always curious about what was going to happen next. The story unfolded nicely, building up tension without dragging it out, which kept me hooked.

why you SHOULD watch this drama
1. What stood out most was how neatly they wrapped everything up in just eight episodes. They didn't leave loose ends or rush the ending. I wouldn't say I wasted my time watching this, especially since it was only 8 episodes.

2. People keep comparing it to Squid Game, but they're totally different. Sure, they're both thrillers, but this show stands on its own. It has its own vibe and story that's separate from Squid Game.

3. Extremally good acting , Props to the actress who played 8, she nailed the crazy role. Seeing her in a different role after this would be trippy.

Why you SHOULDN'T watch this drama:

1. It contains graphic scenes and themes that may not be suitable for all viewers, so consider the content rating before watching.

2. Some characters' morally ambiguous actions might not resonate with those who prefer straightforward/likeable protagonists.

3. Despite being a thriller, it has its own vibe and story, so don't expect it to be similar to other popular shows like Squid Game.

4. The series has received mixed reviews, so it might not vibe with your taste, depends on what you're into.

5. It's got some deep ideas, but it doesn't always dive super deep into 'em. More about the thrill than the think.
