WATCHED IT COMPROMISING ON MY SLEEP AND DONT REGRET IT..

So this is my 3rd kdrama suspense thriller after memorist and FOE and it seems like this genre kdramas are becoming my favourite.. i wanted to watch it for a long time but kept waiting because after watching kdramas on Netflix and viki i didnt feel like watching it on unofficial sites like KA,DC etc and unfortunately this one was not available on any of the official streaming sites in my country. but finally, i decided to watch this because i loved FOE and wanted to watch more suspense thriller and this one was only 12 episodes which i consider to be the perfect length for a suspense thriller. if there is no other genre attached to it then 16 ep suspense thrillers become kind of draggy.. memorist kind of had this problem and since FOE also gave importance to the romance 16 ep was perfect for it...

this one started off a bit slow but then catches up with the pace.. the makers managed to keep the suspense and thriller aspect alive till the end.. i accidentally clicked on one of the spoiler comments in MDL and ruined one suspense but thankfully that wasn't the only big revelation. even the spoiler didnt decrease my interest in watching one episode after the other.. since this is a suspense thriller i wont speak anything about the story as i dont want to ruin it for anyone.

this drama entered my watch list solely because of nam ji hyun.. i have only seen her in rom-com and she had 3 back to back successful rom-coms.. this one was entirely different from her last 3 and i wanted to see her in something different and the girl didnt disappoint at all.. she is amazing in it and she was good in all the emotional scenes and she had good chemistry with the entire cast.. in some scenes she kind of gave me the vibe that she can pull off darker roles.. i would love to see her in grey-shaded characters. before this i could only imagine NJH in bubbly energetic roles.. she is quite versatile...
this is my first drama of lee joon hyuk and i liked him in this.. his character even though a detective wasn't the smartest cookie out there.. the female lead who is a thriller webtoon writer gets the hints and joins the puzzle much faster than he does but in his defence he was shown as a lazy detective at work in the start.. the kind that slacks off at work whereas the FL is more determined and focused on her job resulting in her being a successful webtoon writer...
i have only seen kim jee soo in hwarang and i dropped it halfway through.. so this one might be kind of like my first drama with her.. her character was interesting and she managed to evoke mixed emotions among the viewers towards her character.. i wont go deep into her character as that might end up being a spoiler...

since this was one purely a fantasy suspense thriller i didnt mind the lack of romance even though there were subtle hints that the leads kind of liked each other but were too busy trying to solve the mystery..

the rewatch value is low for me coz this is a suspense thriller and when the suspense is out the thriller part will be gone.. so whats the use of watching it again.. its the same for memorist as well.. since FOE has lot more going on other than suspense its rewatch value is higher..


overall i through out enjoyed this one and will surely recommend to those who like suspense thrillers with no romance or comedy.. this one does have some light moments but not anything that will make you lol..
