much more fun than i thought it would be!

considering its overall raring of 7.5 i didn't expect that much from this drama but i actually really enjoyed it! my overall score is 8.5/10 however as i did notice some continuity errors which i felt took away from how into the drama i got, i will mention these below (they are spoilers so please be aware!)

this drama was really enjoyable as it had such a range of great actors featuring chimon and drake (my loves), tay, namtan, joss and jane to name a few, all who put on a brilliant performance to bring this drama to life.

it was full of twists, some expected and some not, but never failed to keep me entertained as the end of each episode left me wanting more, i needed to know what happened next.

- spoilers below -

namtan as giwi was insane to me as all her previous dramas i've seen she always played nice characters, to see her as such a villian was wild, i'm glad she got her comeuppance as giwi truly was awful, its a shame we didn't get to see how she suffered from her actions (sorry not sorry).

drake as mikey in that last episode, last couple of minutes really was also very impressive to see as i didn't expect to see him so unhinged either, mans got range!

as much as i love chimon, and i do very much, dan had me screaming at my laptop the entire time 'don't be so dumb! she's playing you!' i have never been more enraged in my entire life.. chimon did such a great job of playing dan and i'm glad he was able to do what he did in the end, he deserved so much better :')

the continuity errors i mentioned above that kinda ruined the effects for me was that when dan went and beat up mikey there was blood on the floor of the apartment which tin and fight saw when they went to look for mikey, however wouldn't pin have seen this when she went back home and mikey was not there? because the inspectors went to the house after both pin and mikey went missing so why was pin not kicking up a fuss about mikey when there would have been blood on the floor from fighting dan earlier? it just kinda didn't sit right with me.. another moment was when tim and tin were fighting outside tin's house, after they had the fight there was a scuff to tim's cheek, and then another camera angle and it was gone, and then back to the original angle and it was there again.. its not a massive issue but again it pulls you back out of the drama once you've been sucked into it because you realise that it doesn't flow as it should..

however, that is my only gripe with this series, other than that (and how annoying mim is, i hated her and felt bad for tin) it was great! definitely give it a shot if you like mysteries and murder sort of stuff
