An Unpopular Opinion

So I decided to watch this drama after seeing all the raving reviews and most importantly the interesting premise. The idea of the show is very intriguing but the drama failed to execute the plotline.

The acting and filming were really well done. The relationships displayed between the characters were interesting but there was a lot of unrealism for a thriller for me personally. The number of coincidences to drive the plotline forward made the show predictable and when it was not predictable the characters displayed what felt like a trainwreck of decisions. For a crime thriller, the drama lacked finesse and story building that makes a viewer engaged in the drama. This drama is more focused on the human element of behaviour. That was all fine and all but the ending for me did not achieve closure. Instead, the end felt like a waste of time and was just filler, especially episode 15 & 16. Overall, this drama just left me feeling unsatisfied.

This drama would be for those who are okay with not needing a drama to have a well thought out crime and investigation component.
