Another drama that a serial killer killed

They should’ve scrapped the unnecessary sociopathic serial killer mess and made the story about him, her and the phone.

Two people living together in silence and apathy until the phone rings. What starts off as threatening phone calls grows into a shared connection. They spend their nights talking and sharing everything with each other on the phone. He falls for her without realizing and she falls for him but has to pretend to be indifferent.

And the mystery (for him) is who is the caller?

Wouldn’t have minded a whole drama with him running around trying to find the caller and pretending not to know it’s her once he does to keep the calls coming.

It also would’ve fixed the issue of him “having feelings for her for 20 years” and never learning sign language🤷🏾‍♀️ because in my version, there was no childhood connection or secret feelings and they really were strangers in a contract marriage.

The side plot would’ve focused on the abuse she faced in her family.

But as it stands, with the story we got…I’m gonna give it a 7/10

And that’s me being kind cause the last 2 episodes were absolute shit from a butt (and the mystery was nonsensical trash)
